Nalati, a paradise on earth, has very fresh air. Although autumn is already here, Nalati is still covered in green, quietly waiting for tourists to come and chat. The snow-capped mountains, forests, meadows and lakes are so beautiful that it is fascinating!
The morning mist shrouded the Nalati Grassland, waking to sunlight. I rode across the stream, my hooves crushing dewdrops on the wildflowers. In the distance, snow-capped mountains reflected the blue sky, like a still painting.
Lying on the grass, the fragrance of green grass washed over me. The songs of Kazakh herders drifted on the wind, so free, so vast. In that moment, all worries melted away in the breeze.
The beauty of Nalati lies not in any particular scenic spot, but in every gust of wind and every ray of sunshine. It invites hurried travelers to pause and find a long-lost inner peace.

The West Sea lives up to its reputation, with an endless expanse of turquoise blue and emerald green nearby. Seagulls fly, waves crash against the riverbank, and how can you not be mesmerized by the tranquility? Let the love song of the West Sea ring out!
The second self-driving tour in Xinjiang, which lasted nearly a month, started in June 2024. At the end of the trip, we came to Bosten Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Xinjiang. If Sayram Lake is fascinating with its snow-capped mountains, Bosten Lake is known for its vastness. The entire lake area is divided into several scenic spots that need to be visited separately. The Bailuzhou scenic spot was closed and could not be visited. I went to Lianhai World first, and then to Dahekou Scenic Area.

Tianchi Lake is beautiful. However, Mayashan Mountain is really not worth visiting. It's exhausting, but there's not much to see, and it costs several hundred yuan more per person—absolutely not worth it! A total disappointment!
If you haven't been, you absolutely must go; it's definitely worth exploring further. Ideally, you should have a full day. I went on November 2nd; it must be even more beautiful and spectacular in the summer, and the temperature would probably be more comfortable.

Today, tour guide Liu Yicheng led us on a tour of the Palace Museum. His explanations were lively and interesting, and his service was warm and welcoming. I was a little late due to personal reasons, but Guide Liu kindly calmed me down and told me to find the most handsome guide. When I met him, I saw that apart from being a bit tanned, he was still quite handsome. Thank you for your hard work!
It's a paradise for self-driving! The whole drive takes about two hours. The forest and sea of clouds on the road, the wheat waves are out of season, and the scenery is beautiful. I stayed here for a night and opened my eyes to the beautiful scenery. The scenery at the end of May is as follows~

The view was stunning, i really recommended this trip. The driving took us for the trip was so so so kind, patient, and generous. Language barrier was not an issue, google translator worked well. Xièxiè shīfu, nín tài hǎo le!
The scenery is pretty good, but the open area of the scenic area is limited. The main reason is that the shuttle bus arrangement is really unreasonable. You have to wait for half a day for a bus to come. You just wait for the bus and the actual sightseeing time is not long.

This canyon is indeed spectacular, with a very uniform height, but the mountain's structure is strangely fractured. There's almost no vegetation, and the colors aren't very vibrant. The only downside is that there's no path down; you can only view it from above. Going down and experiencing it firsthand would surely offer a different perspective.
The Dushanzi Grand Canyon is a beautiful sculpture masterpiece forged by the magic of nature. Standing on the south side of the canyon and looking at the cliffs on the opposite side, a picture of a stone forest with hundreds of meters high stone pillars in various shapes and sizes unfolds before your eyes. The slender and tall stone pillars are like a dense forest, making people marvel at the magic of nature. Viewing from multiple angles, it is beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Turpan's Grape Valley truly lives up to its reputation; it's definitely worth a visit!
Upon entering Grape Valley, you're immediately enveloped in a refreshing coolness, a stark contrast to the scorching heat of the Flaming Mountains outside—a veritable haven of tranquility in this "land of fire." Everywhere you look, there are layers upon layers of grapevines, like stepping into a green fairytale. The vines are laden with clusters of tempting grapes, including hundreds of varieties such as seedless white, mare's milk, and red grapes, each one intoxicatingly sweet. The seedless white grapes, in particular, are crystal clear, crisp, sweet, and incredibly high in sugar.
Here, you can also deeply experience the rich Uyghur culture. The hospitable Uyghur people will invite you to sit under the grapevines, taste freshly picked grapes, and enjoy their captivating song and dance performances. The performers, dressed in vibrant traditional costumes, twirl and leap, showcasing the charm of the Western Regions.
The scenic area boasts comprehensive facilities, making it a complete complex integrating dining, accommodation, sightseeing, vacationing, and shopping. And with free admission now, it offers exceptional value. Whether you're coming to taste delicious grapes or experience unique ethnic culture, Grape Valley won't disappoint. I'll definitely come back again next time!
@Turpan, Grape Valley 5A
The song "Turpan's Grapes Are Ripe" depicts the sweetness of grapes with its graceful, melodious melody and heartfelt lyrics. Mezzo-soprano Guan Muchun's rich, soulful voice brings the grapes beneath the green grass in the breeze to life, making Turpan a household name. After experiencing the scorching heat of the Flaming Mountains, delve into Grape Valley and experience the thrill of both ice and fire.
P.S. Wang Luobin's major works include "In That Distant Place," "The Half Moon Climbs Up," "The Girl from Dabancheng," "Lift Your Veil," "Alam Khan," and "Under the Silver Moonlight."

Go to Tangbula Grassland to enjoy the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains, experience diverse folk customs, feel the history and culture, and relax and purify your mind in nature. You can experience Kazakh yurt food (milk tea, hand-grabbed meat), learn Dongbula, dance black horse, participate in Aken singing, girl chasing, etc., and feel the nomadic culture. - Beautiful natural scenery: The grassland is vast, wild flowers are blooming, cattle and sheep are in herds, and the Kashgar River winds through it, which contrasts with the snow-capped mountains and forests, forming a picturesque scenery. The Fairy Lake is emerald green and clear, like an emerald inlaid in the embrace of the snow-capped mountains. In addition, there are hot spring resources, such as Buren Hot Spring, which are rich in minerals and have health-care effects.
- Rich history and culture: Mengkete Ancient Road was an important channel for the Wusun people to migrate westward into the hinterland of Tianshan during the Western Han Dynasty. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. You can feel the vicissitudes of history along the way. The Qiorma Martyrs Cemetery carries a heavy historical memory, where you can commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to build the Duku Highway.
- Diverse ways to play: suitable for self-driving sightseeing, driving along the S315 Provincial Road, it feels like the car is traveling in a painting, and there are many viewing platforms along the way, you can stop at any time to enjoy the scenery. For outdoor enthusiasts, Mengkete Ancient Road, Bear Valley and other places are good places for hiking adventures. You can also walk into the felt houses of local herdsmen, taste special foods such as roasted lamb, and experience the customs and habits of ethnic minorities such as the Kazakhs.
- The best playing period is long: from the end of May to the beginning of June, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the blooming red flowers of the Tianshan Mountains. From June to August, the grassland is green, wild flowers are colorful, and rape flowers are in full bloom. From July to September, you can also see the magnificent scenery of the golden grassland and snow-capped mountains against each other. There are unique scenery in different seasons.
- Good tourism facilities: There are facilities such as the Kork Mountain Resort and Aktas Resort in the scenic area, which can provide tourists with catering, accommodation and other services. The surrounding transportation is relatively convenient, whether you start from Nileke County or go along the Duku Highway.
It's over. I don't know where to go after playing here. This is the most beautiful place in the world! The key is that there is no entrance fee!
The snow-capped mountains, green grasslands, and gurgling streams are so beautiful. It's so beautiful.
If you are lucky, you can also see birds, flowers, cattle and sheep

nice park to see the view of Ürümqi city in many angles and so many attractions and activities for all people.
Located in the center of Urumqi, Hongshan Park is a free attraction, and it is also a must-play attraction in Urumqi. After entering the park through security check, go straight all the way up, pass the Big Buddha Temple, and overlook the building (you need to pay ten yuan per person to climb the building) to reach the iconic building Hongshan Tower. Across the Red Mountain Tower, you can see the whole picture of the city center of Urumqi.

This season, the autumn grass and leaves are ablaze everywhere in Nanshan. From a bird's eye view, the scenery is vibrant, and walking through the valley reveals a vibrant new color. The snow line has already dropped, and soon, the Tianshan Silk Road Ski Resort will be open for skiing. In summer and autumn, the resort offers cable cars, water skiing, sightseeing buses, horseback riding, and other activities.
Our driver, Mr. Wang Peng, was very helpful and attentive. He recommended some of the local attractions we visited, and the scenery was quite nice. We all had a great time. We visited the Tianshan Grand Canyon, which boasts lakes, grasslands, forests, and canyons. While it's not as impressive as a single natural attraction, it was a good place to experience it. The driver was very patient, waiting for us to fully explore the area before dropping us off at Hotan Second Street on our way back to the city, so we could easily visit the night market. I highly recommend his service.
