Missed the green of Kalajun Grassland

🌟 Tekes Kalajun: An Epic and Wonderland on the Grassland!

📜 Tekes and Kalajun
Tekes, an ancient city with a layout based on the Bagua diagram, is known as the "Bagua City" and was an important post on the northern route of the Silk Road. Not far from this mysterious ancient city lies the Kalajun Grassland, known as the "Sky Grassland." Here, Kazakh herders have protected this pure land for generations, continuing the nomadic culture and the stories of the Silk Road to this day.

☁️ History in the Mist
1️⃣ Muzart Ancient Road
Walking through the mist of Kalajun, you can almost hear the sound of camel bells from afar. This ancient road was an important branch of the Silk Road, passed by Zhang Qian during the Han Dynasty on his mission to the Western Regions. From the high grassland, the winding mountain path still bears the traces of camel caravans from a thousand years ago.
Practical tips: Don’t rush to leave if you encounter rainy or cloudy weather at the viewing platform; the misty grassland is even more magical!

2️⃣ Kazakh Nomadic Culture
The white yurts scattered across the grassland are the mobile homes of the Kazakh people. In the early morning, herders often ride horses to graze their livestock, and the sight of galloping horses is breathtaking. The Kazakhs have a saying: "The horse is the wings of the herder." Here, you can truly feel the bold spirit of the people on horseback.
Practical tips: If you want to experience herder life, you can follow the grazing team for a short distance, but keep a safe distance.

3️⃣ Grassland Legend
There is a beautiful local legend: Kalajun is the palette spilled by the gods, leaving the most beautiful alpine meadows on earth. On rainy days, when the mist covers the grassland, it is said the gods are inspecting their work.
Practical tips: June to August is the most beautiful season on the grassland, but remember to bring a jacket as the temperature varies greatly.

4️⃣ Sky Garden
Known as the "world’s most beautiful human-shaped grassland," its rolling curves resemble a reclining beauty. In summer, various wildflowers bloom in competition, and the Kazakhs call this place "Kurdei," meaning "curved valley."
Practical tips: The best time for photos is early morning or late afternoon when the light is softest.

Standing on the Kalajun grassland, the sun sometimes breaks through the clouds, and at other times, a thin mist spreads, as if traveling between reality and legend. Here, there is not only the masterpiece of nature but also vivid Silk Road legends. Come to Kalajun, don’t be a hurried passerby, but live a nomadic dream!🌿
