Xinjiang Ili Route - Explore the outdoor with Self-driving 🚘💚

#outdooradventures
Ili is a prefecture level city in the northern part of Xinjiang. Historically, Ili was an important outpost of the ancient Silk Road. It is known as the "hometown of melons and fruits" with abundant rain and warm weather, and the 67.7% vegetation coverage of grassland and forest.

Self driving on the Ili Route is probably the best way to experience the natural wonders. There are famous Tangbula grassland, Nalati grassland, and Zhaosu grassland, and heavenly Sayram Lake. Also, there are fields of apricot blossoms, blooming lavenders, and rapeseed flowers that can be seen here during spring and summer along the way.

Ili is known for its picturesque grasslands here and it becomes a sea of flowers in spring/summer. Apart from the most famous lavender in Huocheng, the rape flowers of Zhaosu, the safflower of Tangbula, and the colorful wildflowers around Sailimu, Nalati grassland will also surprise you.

Ili will show you the most gentle but powerful side of Xinjiang💜
