(1) Ili River Valley:Symphony of Flower Fields and Grasslands
June is the golden season in Ili:
Sayram Lake:The deep blue waters contrast beautifully with the reflections of snow-capped mountains. A self-drive around the lake allows for stops at scenic spots. We recommend visiting the Jinhua Zihui Viewing Platform early in the morning to capture the morning mist and lake scenery.
Huocheng Lavender:From mid-June to early July, the lavender fields at Jieyou Princess Farm and Keguerqin Lavender Garden are in full bloom, creating a fairy-tale scene with purple fields against a backdrop of blue skies and white clouds.
Nalati Grassland:The aerial grassland route offers close contact with the yurts of local Kazakh communities, while the Panlong Valley Road is a hidden gem for photography enthusiasts, known for its “S”-shaped road scenes.
Karajun Grassland:The “Human Body Grassland” in the Kuokesu Grand Canyon presents soft curves under the sunset. We recommend bringing a telephoto lens to capture the changing light and shadows.
