Ili, Xinjiang in spring is a fairytale world in every frame.

How can I describe Xinjiang in summer? If I had known Xinjiang, why would I bother with the Alps? I think this sentence is the best annotation for summer travel in Xinjiang. Serene, healing, peaceful, carefree are the words that best describe Ili. Cattle, sheep, horses, spruce trees, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, wildflowers, and streams are the scenery you can see everywhere in Ili. - 【Xiata】🏔️ Xiata is the divine presence of Ili. The stunning Muzart Glacier, coupled with grasslands and spruce trees, is the scene of my dreams. - 【Nalati】🌲 The internet-famous bridge on Nalati's aerial grassland, the S-bend of Panlong Valley Road, and the cattle and sheep scattered across the river valley grasslands are all healing existences. - 【Kalajun】🌼 You can go grass skiing on the Xianhua Platform in the Kalajun Grassland in summer, and the snow-capped mountains at the Falcon Platform are truly breathtaking. There are also human grasslands in Koktokay, where you can enjoy rafting, ziplining, and other recreational activities. - 【Kurdening】🐑 Riding a horse into the scenic area, you can capture photos of the small wooden houses under the snow-capped mountains, just like in "Heidi," and the anime-style clouds. Be sure to experience horseback riding here; it's amazing. - 【Qasi Grassland】🌿 If you don't have dreams, why Qasi? This is the grassland of my dreams. Through the spruce trees, I took the best photos of my life. I recommend staying at the RV campsite in the scenic area for better photo opportunities. - 🚶I'm sharing my 10-day itinerary, which I personally experienced, driving the Duku Highway in reverse, with no traffic jams at all (you don't have to visit all the grasslands; choose the ones you like). 1 Yining - Nalati Grassland - Xinyuan Town 2 Xinyuan Town - Kurdening - Qasi Grassland 3 Qasi Grassland - Kalajun Grassland 4 Kalajun - Kuokesu Grand Canyon - Joan Kushtai 5 Joan Kushtai - Tekes Bagua City 6 Tekes - Yining - Zhaosu Yuhu Lake - Zhaosu Wetland Park - Zhaosu Town 7 Zhaosu - Xiata - Huocheng County 8 Huocheng County - Jieyou Lavender Fields - Sayram Lake - Guozigou Bridge - Tangbula 9 Tangbula Grassland - Duku Highway - Anjihai - Urumqi 10 Urumqi - Return Trip - On March 9, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang came to Shanghai for a tourism sharing event. I learned a lot about Xinjiang's culture and beautiful scenery at the promotion meeting. I was also fortunate to participate in the sharing session, and I sincerely want to say to everyone, "Setting off is always more meaningful than yearning." "If you don't go to Ili, how can you know such scenery?" In this season of blooming flowers, let's make a date to go to Ili together.
