[Route and Destination Highlights]
The Ili River Valley is known as the “Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall,” with an average summer temperature of 20-28°C in 2026, making it the most densely packed area of natural landscapes in Xinjiang. The core touring belt covers three major themes:
❶ Grassland Flower Fields:Nalati Sky Grassland (open 8:30-20:30) has a wildflower bloom lasting until mid-August. The Kalajun Grassland (open 9:00-20:00) combines east and west routes into a 165 yuan per person combined ticket, including iconic landscapes like the Human Body Grassland and Flower Terrace.
❷ Alpine Lakes:The Sayram Lake ring road is fully connected, with wildflowers along the lakeshore and snow-capped mountain reflections creating the perfect photo scene of the “Last Tear of the Atlantic” from June to August.
❸ Secluded Villages:Qiongkushatai Village retains its original wooden house complex. The last 3-hour section requires an SUV due to unpaved roads; a professional off-road driver is recommended.
