😜 "Chaxi Scenic Area, unbelievably beautiful!" 😜 Guys 😁! I found a super beautiful place - Chaxi Scenic Area 💥! It's located in Gongliu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region 👏, known as "the most beautiful valley in Tianshan Mountains", and it's not an exaggeration 😲! It's like a vivid and three-dimensional oil painting 🎨, with snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, and rivers, showcasing the magic and magnificence of nature to the fullest 👍! The mountains are lush, the water is clear, and each season has its own charm. Spring is full of new green, summer is full of flowers, autumn is colorful, and winter is covered in silver, who wouldn't love it 😻! There are so many fun attractions 👀! Stroll along the Chaxi River, cross the valley, with tall cedars and birch forests on both sides, and the river is crystal clear, who can understand the tranquility and comfort away from the hustle and bustle 😜! You can also climb to the top of the Kesang Cave, see the unique karst landform, overlook the panoramic view of the Chaxi Valley, and feel the pride of "seeing all the mountains" 😫! Then experience the life of herdsmen, ride horses on the grassland, set up tents with herdsmen, taste special dairy products, and deeply feel the folk customs of Xinjiang, it's so cool 😍! The address is Chaxi Scenic Area, Gongliu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region 📍. The transportation is also good 🚗, if you drive from Yining City, drive south along G218 National Highway for about 150 kilometers, the scenery along the way is beautiful 🤔. If you take public transportation, go to Yining City first, then transfer to a long-distance bus to Gongliu County, and then charter a car or carpool to the scenic area 😃. The food is even more amazing 😋! Lamb pilaf, big plate chicken, roasted whole lamb, and sweet milk tea and delicious naan, every bite is super satisfying 😝! The surrounding attractions are also great, Tarim Forest Park 👏, where the original forest is quiet and deep, as if you can walk into a fairy tale world 👍! Walking in it, listening to the birds singing, feeling the fresh air, who can understand 😻! There is also Mohur Ranch 😜, endless grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, the tranquility and vastness can really make people forget all their troubles 😫! Then there is Kurdening Canyon 😍, steep canyon walls, rushing streams, full of mystery and excitement! Although these niche attractions are not well-known, the scenery is definitely not inferior to those popular attractions 😝! Guys, let's go 💪!

There are a large number of photos and the original images are of excellent quality, but I am too tired to organize them. I originally wanted to sort the attractions, but it was too difficult. As someone who has visited Switzerland, I feel that Xinjiang’s natural landscape is the ceiling of China and the king of cost-effectiveness. When I drove to Western Sichuan before, I wasn’t that shocked. Maybe it was because I went there in winter. If you must choose the top 5 in Xia Nanjiang🤔 ①Baisha Lake. Everyone says that to see the sea or the lake, you must have blue sky and white clouds, but Baisha Lake is an exception. It was cloudy when we first arrived and it was beautiful! Moreover, along the way we experienced the oppressive feeling of the mountains on the Pamir Plateau, which shocked us urban country bumpkins. arrive. ②Qiaxi. The first picture is the sunset at 10:30 that night when we were camping in Qiaxi. Who would have thought that half an hour ago we were having dinner in embarrassment under the canopy in the storm. The next day I drove up the mountain and when I got off the bus at Qiaxi Huaju, I fully realized that people should stay in places without ceilings. ③Yizhao Highway. Everyone knows that the Duku Highway is very famous. We did not specially arrange to take the Yizhao Highway. It was just fate that the navigation system happened to take us there. What impressed me most was that after passing through a large grassland in the first half, it suddenly turned into a cliff road. It was very dangerous and spectacular! I was the one driving the car and didn't take any pictures. ④Wensu Grand Canyon and Sailimu Lake on a sunny day are both places where you can spend a whole day visiting. The Grand Canyon stipulates that only four-wheel drive SUVs can be driven in, but as long as it doesn't rain, the requirements for cars are not high, and aerial photography is perfect inside. Sailimu Lake was slightly deducted because the entrance to the scenic spot was too chaotic and blocked for more than an hour. ⑤The ancient city of Kashgar at night. During the day, it was an ordinary commercial street. But by accident, I arrived in Kashgar very late that day. I had a meal in the ancient city and happened to catch the blue hour. Suddenly, I entered a dreamy world of the Western Regions. I have always scorned the ancient city pedestrian street. I didn't go back to the hotel until midnight that day.

Camping is definitely a great invention, it cures all the unhappiness of working people~ If you have nothing, no camping equipment, no camping experience, please come to Chaxi Camping~ Reasons and strategies are as follows.👇 Bring the old and the young, no one gets tired Chaxi is conveniently located, with no winding mountain roads, good paved road conditions, and a simple route. Just navigate directly to Chaxi Forest Park, pay a 30 yuan ticket to drive in, then drive for another hour following the stream past 'Chaxi is worth it after experiencing mountains and rivers' to reach Swallow Bridge, where you can see the camping base. Fully equipped, and free Chaxi has many free camping platforms, separate shower rooms, and this time they built more small restrooms closer to the tents. When one of the restrooms got clogged and caused a queue, staff immediately came to clean it, really considerate! Of course, if you don't have a tent, you can rent ready-made artistic tents or super cute cartoon RVs. Eat, drink, and play, not expensive Chaxi has many B&B yurts and restaurants. Highly recommend the fish restaurant at the service center entrance, super tender and fragrant, you'll be speechless after one bite~ During the Kurban Festival, we found there was also a glider flight experience, and at night the camp had singing and dancing. 💰: Large tent around 300 yuan, can accommodate three people Small tent 120~200 yuan

Located more than 70 kilometers southeast of Gongliu County, Chaxi Scenic Area is an ideal destination for summer retreats, health resorts, and grassland folk tourism. It is also a paradise for painters and photographers. Known as the Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall, Yili is most beautiful in Chaxi. The Chaxi Valley runs north to south, stretching about 13 kilometers in length and 500-1000 meters in width, with an altitude of 1500 meters. It enjoys a pleasant climate with warm winters and cool summers, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, ancient trees, and clear waters. The scenery is both majestic and picturesque, often described as 'Chaxi's landscape is as beautiful as a painting.' Many poets and artists have praised and depicted its beauty. Chaxi is also a famous forest area, home to the Chaxi spruce forest, which produces the world-renowned morel mushrooms. If you are traveling to Yili in Xinjiang, make sure to check in at Chaxi. Detailed address: Jiergalang Township, Gongliu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture

Chaxi Forest Park is not as popular as Nalati, and those who don't want to queue up for photos on Nalati's famous bridge can come to Chaxi for photos, with equally beautiful results and no regrets! Tour groups rarely visit Chaxi; it's mostly visited by self-drivers. Many people go there for picnics and camping! When you drive in, someone at the entrance will guide you to scan a QR code to buy a ticket and enter, which is very convenient! Once inside, continue driving along the road, playing and stopping whenever you see beautiful scenery to enjoy and take photos! Since the area is not very commercialized and the mountain roads are unpaved, sedans can only go so far, and only SUVs are allowed further in. Personally, I think driving up to the location in picture 1 is sufficient, as the best scenery is at the beginning, and there isn't much to see further on, nor is it well-developed! If you're up for an adventure, you can continue driving in. The loop is 60 kilometers in total. I turned back halfway because the scenery wasn't as good and the road conditions worsened the further I went!

Beyond the Great Wall lies Jiangnan in Ili, and the most beautiful part of Ili is Chaxi. Chaxi is located in the southeastern mountainous area of Gongliu, 72 kilometers from the county seat. From the east of the county seat, passing through the Tekes River Gorge Water Conservancy Project, through the Kapqihai Gorge and the Jiergalang Valley, exiting Jiergalang Township to the east, winding along the mountain road eastward, you will reach the Chaxi Valley entrance known as Shaga. Here, two roads from the east and west converge, with the west road leading to the famous Tarim Forest Park. Crossing the Shaga Bridge in Chaxi and proceeding 7 kilometers, you will emerge from the gorge carved by nature to a spacious and clear valley. The low mountains on both the east and west sides are like walls; the eastern mountains are covered with lush green grass, while the western mountains are adorned with verdant pines. Directly to the south is the imposing Shangshan, with its peaks standing tall, red rocks exposed, glaciers faintly visible, and below the neat tree line, green fir trees stretch east and west. This is the renowned Chaxi. Chaxi Grassland Scenic Tourist Area

May in Qiaxi, I would like to call it 'the God of the Ili Grassland'. I have been to Qiaxi three times, and this time I found it the most beautiful. The first time I went was in 2021, 😷 was not yet lifted, and it happened to be a rainy day. The second time was a group tour, spent the whole day on the bus. Although there were not many tourists, the experience was not very good. This time was the third time, I finally drove by myself. Although driving by myself was a bit tiring, stopping and taking pictures whenever I wanted was really great. In May, the snow on the Qiaxi mountains had not completely melted, the grass turned green, and the flowers bloomed, it was truly breathtaking. From last year to this year, many people have recommended Qiaxi, and there are also quite a few complaints, but I really strongly recommend it, Qiaxi is worth it. Some little tips to share with you 1️⃣: The roads in Qiaxi are very narrow, they might have been under construction for the past two years, but possibly because of the increasing number of tourists, the roads feel narrower and narrower. There is only one road for both going up the mountain and returning, and there are many curves on the road, so you must be careful when passing each other, and you often encounter situations where people can't drive well, causing traffic jams, be mentally prepared. 2️⃣: You can ride horses at the 'pulling out scallions from dry land' spot, I suggest riding a horse for shooting, the effect is really stunning, unfortunately, I forgot to save the location, you can search for notes from other friends. 3️⃣: The issue that must be mentioned every time, sun protection. Although Xinjiang is not a plateau, sun protection is still essential, very important, because we all want to wear little skirts and take beautiful photos, so maintaining fair skin will make you look more beautiful. 4️⃣: There is not much to eat inside Qiaxi, except for some snacks sold on the platform just inside the scenic area, so prepare your own dry food, especially drinks. I think it's really necessary to replenish water when climbing, drink more water when you can, it's good for you. 5️⃣: There is a special camping site prepared for everyone to camp in the scenic area, it looks very nice, and if you have enough time, I highly recommend staying for a night, to watch the stars and listen to the stream. That's all I can think of for now, if there's anything that can help you, feel free to send me a private message, I will reply as soon as I see it...

After returning from Xinjiang, I still miss it. I want to go there again this year❗️ I have compiled some recommended check-in spots for sisters✅, if you like them, you can 🌟 . 1️⃣Sailimu Lake🌊 Sasa once said: "If you haven't been to Sayram Lake, you have lived in vain!" Here you can see the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean 💧, and watch white swans 🦢 playing freely in the clear and transparent lake~ ⚠️It is recommended to enter from the East Gate and exit from the South Gate instead of going back. The scenery around the lake is beautiful, but the wind is quite strong so please wear a jacket. 🧥～ . 2️⃣Guozigou Bridge🌁 Marvel at the architecture and design of this bridge, which stands in the valley of Yili and is known as the first scenic spot in Yili. . 3️⃣ Xiata Scenic Area This is the grassland closest to the snow-capped mountains. It not only has glaciers and grasslands, but also scattered woods. It is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. . 4️⃣Qiong Kushtai This is a small village in a fairy tale 🏡, with the sound of mountain springs in summer, and the clouds ☁️ and snow-capped mountains 🏔️ in the distance are natural canvases, a niche secret place hidden in the forest . 5️⃣Qiaxi Forest Park This is a primeval forest. Every tree 🌲 is unique and has its own story. Every photo allows you to feel the infinite ancient mysterious power of the forest. . 6️⃣Nalati Grassland There are flowers all over the ground💐, gurgling river valleys and streams, cute and leisurely lambs🐑, and checking in on any wooden bridge is a life photo📷, and the grassland in the sky can enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset🌄 . 🚗Recommended route (suitable for small groups or self-driving) 🌟Day 1 Urumqi-Sailimu Lake 🌟Day 2: Sailimu Lake - Kalajun - Tekes 🌟Day 3 Tekes-Zhaosu Wetland Park-Xiata-Tekes 🌟Day 4: Tekes-Qiaxi-Nalati Sky Grassland-Nalati 🌟Day 5: Nalati - Strange Stone Valley - Bole 🌟Day 6 Bole-Dushanzi Grand Canyon-Urumqi . ‼ ️Tips: 1️⃣Some places in Xinjiang are relatively backward due to local conditions and environmental constraints. Hotel hardware and supporting facilities cannot be compared with those in first- and second-tier cities. Be mentally prepared~ 2️⃣Xinjiang is a vast territory, and the car ride 🚗 takes a long time. In many cases, you have to get off the car and walk 🚶 to experience the fun of horse riding 🐎 yourself, so a pair of suitable shoes 👟 is very important! 3️⃣ Xinjiang is the land of fruits and vegetables. Eating fruits in Xinjiang is a great pleasure, but don’t drink hot tea after eating fruits to avoid diarrhea. 4️⃣ In most areas of Xinjiang, the price for weighed goods is quoted in kilograms, so when purchasing weighed goods, please read the price unit carefully, and be polite and respect the customs of ethnic minorities.

The greenery of Qiaxi in May dresses the grassland in a tender green coat. As I stroll across the Qiaxi grasslands, basking in the warmth of the sun, I feel the breath of spring, and my mood becomes as cheerful as the scenery. In the Qiaxi grasslands of May, there are endless stretches of green grass, and herds of cattle and sheep grazing leisurely. The distant snow-capped mountains shimmer with silver light under the sun, like a stunningly beautiful painting. Experiencing the beauty that nature brings, releasing the pressure within, and appreciating the beauty of life.

In May, other grasslands in Xinjiang are still bare. Kalajun and Nalati are eclipsed at this time The meadows of Qiasi are connected to the sky, and the green waves lead to the end The scattered yurts and the towering snow-capped spruce trees. The primitive and quiet wilderness, where there is only purity and freedom. ㅤ 🌻Qiaxi-Turpan routeㅤ D1: Meet in Urumqi D2: Urumqi - Provincial Highway S101 - Anjihai Grand Canyon - Jinghe D3: Jinghe-Sailimu Lake-Yining Liuxing Street-Gongliu D4: Gongliu - Qiaxi Grassland - Kurdening Wild Apple Blossom Afternoon Tea - Xinyuanㅤㅤ D5: Xinyuan - Gongnaisi River Valley - Tianshan Highway 218 - Heshuo D6: Heshuo - Kumtag Desert Sunset - Shanshan D7: Shanshan - Picking agate in Lop Nur - Tuyugou Maza Village - Urumqi D8: Airport transfer in Urumqi ㅤ 🌻Travel Tips: ㅤ In May, in addition to the Qiaxi grassland, Kurdenin and Tarim Forest Park are also the earliest green grasslands in Yili. If you have time, you can take a trip on the Qiatai loop to double the beauty.
