About the attractions
📍Anjihai Grand Canyon: Also known as the Red Mountain Grand Canyon, here you can feel the magic of nature very directly, suitable for drone aerial photography.
📍Kazanqi: A blue town, not particularly commercialized. Spend 20 yuan to take a small tricycle, take you through the streets and alleys, fully feel the local humanities.
📍Chaxi: It is a famous forest area in Xinjiang, with endless spruce of Xueling. However, only off-road vehicles can go up the mountain at present, heading towards Tarim, otherwise you can only take a shuttle bus to the "Chaxi Scroll", which is not one tenth as beautiful as Chaxi.
📍Xia Ta: Enter the Muzart Glacier in the scenic area, come to the foot of the snow mountain, here you can not feel the heat of summer, only the refreshing feeling. At the same time, it is also the only scenic spot in Yili where you can see the complete snow mountain in summer.
📍Karakojun: It is a super large alpine meadow grassland, and it is also the only two grassland scenic spots with relatively complete supporting facilities in the itinerary, the other is Nalati. Here, every shot is a windows desktop.
📍Qiongkushitai: My favorite, one of the paradises of Yili, with ancient Kazakh villages, distant rolling mountains, pastures, streams, it is immersive.
📍Nalati: One of the four major grasslands in the world, snow mountains, valleys, wild flowers, and cattle and sheep all over the mountains are the main colors here. However, there are also the most tourists, relatively noisy.
📍Duku Highway: You can experience the beautiful scenery of Xinjiang in all four seasons, Gobi oasis, snow mountain glacier, alpine forest, grassland lake, canyon style, all in sight.
It is located in the edge of the vast Mongolian grassland, with open terrain, rolling hills and lush vegetation. It is the mid-autumn season, and the temperature starts to drop, so that the forest here is dyed and colorful, and the most beautiful season of the year is reached.
"Saihan" is Mongolian, meaning "beautiful"; "ba" is Chinese, meaning "Kaoling", the Grand Canyon is located in the northwest of the reception center of Yudaokou Scenic Area, with a total area of 40 square kilometers. Saihanba has several canyons, of which this canyon between Guishan and Snake Mountain is the best place to shoot color change.
After parking, it takes about 20 minutes to walk on the plank road to reach the observation deck. There are two observation decks up and down, and the peaks are stacked from a distance, lush, grass and various trees form beautiful pictures together.
The drop of more than 1,000 meters here is particularly spectacular.
Both sides of the road are basically tall and tall larch-dominated forests. A small amount of birch appears occasionally on the first few kilometers of the road. The snow-white and black-patched trees stand out in the grey bushes. Finally, about 7 kilometers away, a large, straight birch forest was found hidden behind the pine trees by the roadside. Drilling into the forest, it was a birch world. They brushed densely and pointed to the blue sky. Because the leaves were not very dense, the sunlight could still fall on the fallen leaves on the ground through the space. Unfortunately, the leaves were not golden enough, only in the early autumn stage.
Very fun, too big to be able to go shopping in a day, a good place to travel by car.
Good location, convenient transportation, is a place for leisure and entertainment, unique terrain, natural wild in the depths of the canyon, the flowers and trees inside are very beautiful, it is worth coming again.
