Fairy Lake is located deep in the Tangbula Grassland, a ‘hidden gem’ attraction in the Ili River Valley. There is no scenic area gate, no shuttle bus, only a winding pastoral path leading to the lake. Three reasons to choose a customized car tour:‘We chose the 2-day tour package, with accommodation arranged in a yurt on the Tangbula Grassland, and saw the Milky Way at night. Special thanks to the driver for helping us coordinate the horse team, which was 30% cheaper than online quotes.’
💬 Mr. Zhang from Beijing (traveled in June 2026):
‘The photography group customized a 3-day itinerary, and the driver knew many niche spots. When the weather changed on the Shata Ancient Road, the driver promptly adjusted the route, and we finally captured the snow mountain reflection.’
