💡 Warm tips
The best viewing period for Yili grasslands is from late May to mid-July, with autumn colors also good in September, but temperature differences between day and night are large, so it is recommended to bring windproof and warm clothing.
Mobile phone signals are weak in some mountain sections, so it is recommended to download offline maps and desired audio/video content in advance.
Scenic spot tickets are recommended to be booked in advance through mini-programs like ‘Smart Nalati’ or ‘One Mobile Trip to Xinjiang’ to reduce on-site queuing time.
Before traveling, you can call the scenic spot or contact the travel agency to confirm the day’s operating status, avoiding itinerary disruptions due to force majeure factors like weather.
The beauty of Yili lies in the natural tapestry of vast grasslands and clear lakes, as well as the travel experience of freely controlling the pace.
