It’s a national 5A-level scenic area with complete infrastructure, including wooden walkways, cruise ships, and electric carts.
Nanshan Pasture (West Baiyanggou / Alfalfa Terrace):About 60 km from the city, a 1-hour drive. In summer, the grassland is like a carpet, suitable for hiking, picnics, and horseback riding; in winter, it’s covered in snow, perfect for snowscape photography. The area includes multiple sub-scenic spots that can be combined based on interest.
Turpan Route (Flaming Mountains, Grape Valley, Karez Well):One-way about 200 km, a 3-hour drive.
