Pastoral Song of the Grasslands

Braving the drizzle, I immerse myself in the Nalati Grassland of the Ili River Valley, savoring the pristine landscape. With every step, a new scene unfolds before my eyes: dense forests, crisscrossing streams, herds of cattle and sheep, Kazakh yurts, and the rolling hills that merge with the green grass to form enchanting curves. These curves, along with the meandering streams and grassland paths, stretch into the distance, giving the grassland an exceptionally vivid and three-dimensional feel. Hills covered in lush grass, flat meadows, and straight spruce trees, along with the snow-capped peaks, evoke a sense of transcendence from the mundane world. It's as if one has stepped into an earthly paradise, a utopia where man and nature are in perfect harmony, creating a serene and harmonious atmosphere that makes one linger and forget to return.
