Explore Nalati on foot (Part 2) The Snow Lotus Valley route is so beautiful!

I unilaterally announced that I didn’t need to take the Xuelian Valley shuttle bus because I walked all the way there (saving 60 yuan!) 📍Route overview: Nomadic family → Tiancheng Terrace → Snow Lotus Valley → Flower sea opposite Tiancheng Terrace → Nomadic family (return along the original route) about 15km ⏰Round trip time: 5.5 hours - 7 hours (For reference only, the duration of hiking and the amount of photos taken vary from person to person) 🎒Baggage preparation: sunscreen, cold-proof jacket, water, dry food (you can bring more food and drinks if you are walking for more than 10km; nomadic families and the Xuelian Valley bus stop also sell food, but I get sick of beef and mutton when I exercise and it’s not cheap) Hiking Overview: 1⃣️Select the [Sky Grassland Route] at the Nalati Scenic Area Visitor Center and take the shuttle bus to the terminal [Nomadic Family] and start hiking from the plank road 2⃣️Walk along the green plank road, you will pass by a horse team on the way. The horse team route passes through the sea of ​​flowers at the foot of Tianshan Mountain and is a beautiful photo. 3⃣️In fact, you just need to walk slowly up along the horse team route or the Xuelian Valley shuttle route; after walking a short distance, you can go through the woods on the side of the road and sit under a tree to eat. You can also see birds fighting for food. 4⃣️Climb to the horse team terminal/inter-district bus stop, there is a viewing platform called [Tiancheng Terrace], you can already see the snow-capped mountains of Xuelian Valley, the spruce trees in the valley are very beautiful p4, the scenery in all directions is beautiful p5 5⃣️Continue to climb along the shuttle bus route, and gradually you can hear and see the streams formed by the melted water from the snow-capped mountains. The weather is good and the scenery is very layered p6. Pick up your camera 📷 and start shooting! 6⃣️On the way, you can see snow-capped mountains and winding mountain roads when passing through highlands, and you can also cross narrow streams p7. Various flowers blooming along the way are so beautiful (p8 is Nalati wild tulips)! 7⃣️After arriving at the bus stop for the Xuelian Valley shuttle, continue walking about 1 km towards the foot of the snow-capped mountain: you can still step on the snow in June, and the fewer tourists you go the further you go. In addition to wild grasses and flowers, you can also see wild Capybara and wild succulents... People also feel quite "lonely" p10 8⃣️Return to the small hill opposite Tianchengtai by the original route. The sun is setting, and the wild flowers are full of happiness...p11 (It's a bit messed up that I can't tell whose selfie it is🤳) 9⃣️When we were almost back to the nomadic family, we took photos of the vast grassland in the sky and the layers of spruce trees in the mottled cloud shadows. P12, the trip was perfect. 🏔️Summary: The road from Nomadic Home to Snow Lotus Valley is basically elevated and takes about 4 hours; the return journey is all downhill and is extremely easy and can be completed in 2 hours. 🎊I personally like the Snow Lotus Valley route very much. The scenery at the end of the Snow Lotus Valley is not very beautiful, but the changes in the sky and scenery along the way add endless fun to the hike; you can stop to take pictures whenever you want, lie down in the sea of ​​flowers when you want to rest, and stare at the clouds when you want to be in a daze... I am deeply moved to be accompanied by wild grasses and flowers and watching the creatures of nature. I feel free every time I look back at the photos!
