Nalati Grassland | A Dreamy Grassland Adventure Guide

In Ili, I discovered the shape of the wind—the green waves of Nalati, the blue hues of Sayram Lake, and the flower seas of Kalajun. 📍 Must-visit spots: Nalati Grassland, Kalajun Human Body Grassland, Sayram Lake ✨ Perfect for photos: Horseback riding, grassland sunsets, wildflower close-ups In Xinjiang’s summer, half is heaven, half is Ili! Snow-capped mountains and grasslands in one frame, lavender fields, and the sunset over winding rivers. Highlight: Use contrasting colors (purple lavender + green grassland) to catch the eye. Stay in a Kazakh yurt, gaze at the Milky Way at 3 AM, and sip hot milk tea at dawn—this is the true Ili experience. If "freedom" had a synonym, it would be the vast wilderness of Ili. For freshly grilled lamb skewers and handmade yogurt, I’d fly 3,000 kilometers! 🍉 Must-try foods: Baked buns, big plate chicken, kvass (honey-fermented drink), dried apricots 📸 *Photo tips: Night market vibes + food close-ups 🌸 In June, Ili is God’s spilled palette—lavender purple, rapeseed yellow, grassland green! ⏰ Timely highlights: Emphasize bloom/snow seasons (e.g., April apricot blossoms, July Zhaosu) What’s it like to be a shepherdess for a day in Ili? (Video: Herding sheep + horseback riding + milking cows) 🎵 Background music recs: "Xinjiang folk songs" or upbeat ethnic instrumental tracks ❤️ “Xinjiang is far, but Ili is worth it—here, there’s no 996, just windswept grass and grazing livestock.” 🌍 Hits the pain point: Escape the city, healing travel ✅ Scenic beauty + storytelling (e.g., “Sunset at the end of Duku Highway”) ✅ Uniqueness (“China’s last Tianshan secret”)
