Exploring the Twin Gems of Yili Grasslands:In-Depth Combined Tour Guide to Nalati and Kalajun Grasslands
(I) 🌿 Key Highlights of the Itinerary:A Double Feast of Grasslands and Lakes
June in the Yili River Valley marks the golden season where grasslands and lakes intertwine. Nalati Grassland, renowned as the ‘Sky Grassland,’ features meadows at an altitude of 2,200 meters that appear and disappear amidst clouds and mist, dotted with yurts of local ethnic groups, creating a unique nomadic cultural landscape. Kalajun Grassland, known as the ‘Three-Dimensional Grassland,’ boasts the natural scenery of the undulating curves of the ‘Human Body Grassland’ and the wildflowers on the Flower Terrace. In 2026, it was listed as an extension project of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage.
The combined tour connects the two major grasslands with Sayram Lake, forming a visual trilogy of ‘Blue-Green-Purple’:
The Blue of Sayram Lake:The highest and largest alpine lake in Xinjiang, the scenic route around the lake offers classic views of the Guozigou Bridge framed against the lake’s surface.
The Green of Nalati:The Sky Grassland, Panlong Valley, and Snow Lotus Valley each have distinct features. A new ‘Nomadic Family’ experience introduced in 2026 allows close observation of the traditional lifestyles of various ethnic groups.
The Purple of Kalajun:From mid-to-late June to early July, the purple lavender fields of the Kuoksu Grand Canyon contrast sharply with the green curves of the Human Body Grassland.
