[Xinjiang Ili 5-day itinerary] Sailimu Lake, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway, and Xiata Forest Park all in one place

🌟This is a fairy tale world hidden in the human world: snow-capped mountains, rolling grasslands, blue lakes, dense forests, endless lavender fields, and simple herders' families. A short 5-day trip can encompass all this beauty, and the density of beautiful scenery is so high that the eyes are overwhelmed. This is Ili, Xinjiang. 🗺️【Trajectory Recommendation】 Day1: Urumqi->Salim Lake->Lavender Field->Yining City Day2: Yining->Xiata Ancient Road->Zhaosu Day3: Zhaosu->Qiongkushtai->Tex Bagua City Day4: Tekes->Nalati Grassland->Xinyuan County Day5: Xinyuan County->Duku Highway->Urumqi 🏔️【Highlights】 📍Salim Lake -- "The last tear of the Atlantic Ocean" Geographically, the water vapor from the Atlantic Ocean has traveled thousands of miles to condense here into a lake; literaryally, it is because Sailimu Lake is so beautiful! blue! Got it! The lake is as clear and blue as the sea and stretches as far as the eye can see. 📍Shatta National Forest Park There are three sections of shuttle bus to enter Xiata. The first section of shuttle bus passes through the dense virgin forest and enters the hinterland of the mountains. At the beginning of the second section of the shuttle bus, you can see the snow-capped mountains ahead. The third section of the shuttle bus is a battery car, and you have to walk from the moment you get off. You can hike all the way to the foot of the glacier, pass through cedar trees, cross streams, and watch the glacier get closer and closer to you. It's worth it. 📍Nalati Grassland The shepherds of Keketuohai sang fire to the Nalati grassland, but it was really worth it. Taking the first section of the shuttle bus, you can see the stretching grasslands and valleys. If you want to get closer to the snow-capped mountains, you can take the second section of the shuttle bus to Snow Lotus Valley. It snows here all year round, and you can have a snowball fight here even at the end of June. 📍Duku Highway Traveling through Duku, you can experience the four seasons in one day. The foot of the mountain is covered with green grass, but at the highest point, even in June, there is snow all over the sky. The snow is several meters thick, making it feel like you are in winter. # journeyshare #100 kinds of travel ways #Xinjiangtourism
