The best season to visit Nalati grassland is from June to September every year. At this time, the grassland is green, there are wild flowers in full bloom, and the scenery is beautiful, and the climate is suitable. Other seasons are colder, and the scenery will be discounted. Tickets for the scenic spot are valid for 2 days, and it takes about 1-2 days to visit the whole scenic spot.
To visit Nalati Grassland, you must first reach Nalati Town, xinyuan county, and the entrance to the grassland scenic spot is a few hundred meters east of Nalati Town. The area of Nalati grassland is very large, but the only highway on the grassland is the highway in the scenic spot. Therefore, if you want to visit Nalati grassland, you can only buy tickets to enter the scenic spot, and the interval tickets of the scenic spot must also be purchased.
after purchasing tickets and section tickets at the tourist center of the scenic spot, you can enter the scenic spot by bus. The section bus is divided into two routes, one is the air grassland route, and the other is the route from Populus euphratica to Forest Park. There is a tour guide on the shuttle bus to explain, and visitors can enjoy themselves after arriving at the stop, and then take the subsequent vehicles. Each of the two routes takes about half a day. If you have enough time, you can buy two tickets together (you can get a discount if you buy them together). If it's only half a day, it's recommended to visit only the air grassland route, which has more beautiful grassland scenery.
the shuttle bus of air grassland route on the south side takes about half an hour one way, and it will pass through Tianjie Taiyakou, air grassland (Chapuhe Ranch) and other areas along the way, until it reaches the reception point of nomadic people, and then return by the same way after playing. The most wonderful scenery on the road is air grassland, backed by the continuous snow-capped mountains. The grassland below is flat and vast, which is very spectacular and beautiful. It is also a good place for photography, so you can enjoy it. Nomadic families at the destination can dine, buy folk goods, wear national costumes, take photos with golden eagles and experience Kazakh home visits, etc., but the prices are relatively expensive, and the performances and commercialization of home visits are strong, so it is not recommended to go. In nomadic homes, you can also choose to take a bus to the Snow Lotus Valley scenic spot in the depths of the valley to watch the snow-capped mountains and wild flowers in the valley, but the fare for this section needs to be paid separately. Generally, each person is in 15 yuan, so you can choose according to your personal interests.
The route from Populus euphratica to Forest Park is to the east. There are many cultural landscapes along the way, such as Wusun Tomb, Grassland Stone Man, Wooden House, etc., and the tour guides on the bus will explain them one by one. The forest park at the end has beautiful scenery, and pine trees grow on the hilly grassland, which is very suitable for taking pictures. In addition, the shuttle bus will also pass a hill Tianyingtai, and you can climb to the top of Tianyingtai to overlook the grassland pasture by yourself (it takes about 1 hour to climb), and the view is very broad.
Sailimu Lake is located in Bortala, western Xinjiang, close to Huocheng, Yili and other places, and about 6 kilometers away from Urumqi by car. Most tourists will come here when they visit the western line of Xinjiang (the Ili line). Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains, surrounded by vast grasslands, and the lake is clear and blue. It has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Xinjiang because of its beautiful scenery. Every June and July, all kinds of wild flowers are blooming on the grassland near the lake, which is a spectacular sight not to be missed.
Sailimu Lake: Sailimu Lake has a large area. The road around the lake is about 6 kilometers, and there are scenery around the lake to shoot. Generally, tourists need to visit for nearly 2 days. Most of them come here from Urumqi, arrive at the lake in the afternoon, and stay at the lake after sunset. The next day, I left after shooting the sunrise and the daytime scenery by the lake, and went to Huocheng to shoot the famous Huocheng lavender, and continued to play in Yili and other places. At present, there is no shuttle bus in the scenic area, and private cars can drive in, so chartered play is the best way to play in Sailimu Lake.
Sailimu Lake Scenic Area surrounds the lake area, and the exit of Sailimu Lake at Lianhuo Expressway in the southeast is where the tourist center and ticket station are located, and there are also ticket stations in the southwest and northeast of the lake area. However, next to Lianhuo Expressway on the south side of the lake, there is also an exit of "Sailimu Lake Tunnel". From here, you can drive to a non-scenic part of the lake. You don't need to pay tickets here, just pay the herdsmen in the local grassland about 1-2 yuan each. However, you can only visit this grassland in Hunan without paying tickets, and you can't go to other parts of the lake. There are fewer flowers on this grassland, and the perspective of shooting sunrise and sunset is not as good as that of the scenic area.
The best season to play in Sailimu Lake is around June every year. At this time, wild flowers are in full bloom on the green grassland around the lake area, taking care of the blue lake under the snow-capped mountains. The scenery is the most beautiful, and the photos taken around the lake are very good. The perennial snow-capped mountains near Sailimu Lake are mainly located on the west side, so it is better to take pictures from the east of the lake, just to capture the beautiful scenery of the lake below the snow-capped mountains. The flowers around the lake area also have their own distribution, with purple flowers in Hubei, yellow flowers in the west and blue flowers in the east, with their own characteristics. In Hunan, there are fewer flowers, mainly grassland. Around the lake, there are different scenery to watch and shoot in every direction.
In the process of surrounding the lake, there will be some cultural relics, such as Genghis Khan's directing platform and an abandoned film and television city. These cultural buildings stand quietly by the lake on the plateau, and it is quite sad to take photos. In addition, there are herders by the lake who will provide riding services. They can ride horses to the hills overlooking the lake. Generally, each horse is about 5 yuan per hour, but you should pay attention to the full price before riding, so as to avoid charging more in the end.
