✨ 【Nalati 3-Day In-Depth Tour during May Day: An Immersive Journey Through Snow-Capped Mountains, Grasslands, and Folk Culture】✨
During the May Day holiday, avoid crowded popular attractions and embark on a pure journey in dialogue with nature. Nalati Grassland, known as the pearl of the Ili River Valley in Xinjiang, offers a three-dimensional landscape of snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands, making it a popular choice for spring travel. During the May Day period in 2026, Nalati Scenic Area will launch multiple people-friendly policies, combined with in-depth itinerary designs by professional travel agencies, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the essence of the grassland in three days.
I. Itinerary Highlights: Double Enjoyment of Three-Dimensional Grassland and Folk Experience
The uniqueness of Nalati Grassland lies in its “three-dimensionality”—from the river valley to the high mountains, the landscape progresses layer by layer with changes in altitude. During May Day, the grassland is just turning green, dotted with wildflowers, while the snow-capped mountains have not fully melted, creating a coexistence of coldness and vitality. The itinerary focuses on two core areas:
Aerial Grassland: Take the shuttle bus winding upwards to Tianjie Terrace for an overview of the junction between snow-capped mountains and grasslands. Stroll through the Nomadic Family area to experience the nomadic life of the local Kazak people. If physically able, you can ride a horse (at your own expense) deep into the meadow at the foot of the snow-capped mountains or take an electric cart to Snow Lotus Valley for a close encounter with glaciers.
River Valley Grassland:Walk along the Konses River, accompanied by forests and streams, with stops at sites like Tawusani and Wusun Historical Sites that retain traces of history. This is an excellent location for experiencing grassland ecology and culture, suitable for photography and slow travel.
