🌄 [Comprehensive Analysis of Routes and Destinations]
Nalati Sky Grassland, an “aerial garden” nestled in the Ili River Valley of Xinjiang, weaves snow-capped mountains, spruce forests, meadows, and streams into a three-dimensional masterpiece at an altitude of 2,200 meters. As a core area of one of the world’s four great grasslands, it enjoys an average summer temperature of 20°C with a 10°C diurnal range, making it a dual paradise for summer retreats and photography.

Cultural Immersion Experiences:Yurts of various ethnic groups, dairy product making, and the grassland Nadam Festival (held regularly in July-August) allow visitors to deeply engage in nomadic life.
