Meadow Daydream🌾

Exploring the heart of Xinyuan: Nalati Grassland 🌄🐎 If endless meadows, wild horses, and dramatic mountains sound like a dream, this spot will make your jaw drop! The moment I saw a child gazing out the car window at a sprinting herd with snow-capped peaks in the distance, I knew I’d found the “real Xinjiang” magic.

Must-See: Nalati Grassland (Address: Within Xinli County, Yili, open daily 08:30–19:00, entry ¥119). Arrive early to beat the tour groups. The rolling fields are dotted with nomad yurts, and you’ll get unbeatable photo ops of horses grazing and locals herding sheep.

Insider Tip: If you’re driving, nab a window seat—roadside views are pure gold and perfect for snap-happy travelers. The grassland looks best in late June/early July when everything’s super green and wildflowers pop. Quick picnic tip: bring snacks, as food stalls are limited once inside.

Getting Around: You’ll need a car or join a local day tour. The grassland area is massive, so walking between points isn’t practical. Entrance shuttles help reach scenic platforms easily.

Food Fix: Try Xinjiang lamb skewers from small stalls near the main entrance; they’re super fresh and the spice blend is legit. Stock up on water and fruits before you come in.

Extra Bits: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light jacket—the weather can flip from sunny to breezy real fast! Get cash ready for entry and snacks, as card terminals may be wonky.
