Starred icon ✨【In-depth All-Region Tour of Nalati, Xinjiang:Immersive Experience from Grassland to Snow-Capped Mountains】✨
Located at the eastern end of the Ili River Valley in Xinjiang, Nalati Grassland is renowned for its reputation as the “Grassland in the Sky.” In 2026, this 1,848-square-kilometer grassland scenic area will undergo a comprehensive upgrade—featuring the new “Snow Lotus Valley Ecological Trail,” an intangible cultural heritage experience zone for various ethnic groups, and a light hiking route through the Xiata Ancient Path. Visitors can enjoy the vastness of the grassland while delving deep into the traditional cultures of various ethnic groups. This article will analyze the latest ways to experience an all-region tour of Nalati from the perspectives of itinerary design, highlights, pricing, and booking methods.
I. Key Itinerary Highlights: Dual Immersion in Nature and Culture
The uniqueness of Nalati Grassland lies in its “three-dimensional landscape” features: the “Grassland in the Sky” above 2,000 meters in elevation is dotted with wildflowers in summer and golden hues contrasting with snow-capped mountains in autumn; the Panlong Valley Trail is known for its canyon scenery interwoven with spruce forests and streams; while the newly opened Snow Lotus Valley Trail allows close observation of alpine plants and occasional encounters with rare animals such as snow leopards and ibex (requires following a professional guide).
In terms of cultural experiences, the yurt area for various ethnic groups within the scenic area has introduced a new “Local People’s Life Day” event: visitors can participate in traditional activities such as milking cows, making nang (a type of flatbread), and crafting cream skins. In the evening, they can sit around listening to dombra performances while savoring hand-grabbed meat and kumis (fermented mare’s milk). In 2026, the scenic area will also collaborate with local intangible cultural heritage inheritors to offer “yurt embroidery and cloth embroidery” handicraft courses, allowing visitors to take home their own handmade souvenirs.
Another highlight is transportation upgrades. Starting in 2026, a “sightseeing mini-train” will operate within Nalati Scenic Area, connecting core attractions such as the Grassland in the Sky, Nomadic Homestead, and Heavenly Terrace with 15-minute intervals, alleviating traffic congestion from self-drive vehicles. Additionally, the scenic area has partnered with Yining Airport to offer “air-rail intermodal transport” services, allowing visitors to take a high-speed train directly from Yining to Nalati Town (approximately 1.5 hours) and then transfer to a scenic area shuttle bus (included in the ticket price).
