Yuqitashi Grassland, a tourist attraction in Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang

There is a picturesque summer pasture in the northwest border area of Wuqia County, which is the fascinating Yuqitashi grassland. It has idyllic scenery. Yuqitashi originally meant "Three Stones". According to the local explanation, Yuqitashi is a grassland between three snow-capped mountains. These three snow-capped mountains stand towering over 4500 meters above sea level. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round, like three silver-white solid reservoirs. Every summer, the ice and snow melt and form a gurgling stream. Countless springs irrigate this prairie, becoming the source of life for the Yuqitashi grassland10,000 livestock and 5,000 people.

This natural pasture is more than 200 kilometers away from the county seat, with an average elevation of more than 3,000 meters and a coverage rate of 80%. Good grass quality and high yield. Generally, the height of grass is about 15 cm. It is a summer pasture with altitude and area in southern Xinjiang.

Yuqitashi grassland is characterized by low hills and gentle slopes, open terrain, fertile soil, residual soil as the parent material, and rich vegetation, including Stipa, Oxytropis, Kobresia, Clematis and Taraxacum. It's rainy and snowy here, and the water plants are rich. It is a paradise for livestock and a treasure land in pastoral areas.

July is the golden season for grazing in Uctas. At this time, the climate is mild, Wan Li is clear and sunny, and the mountains are full of cattle and sheep, which is refreshing. The surrounding peaks are covered with snow, which is connected with the white clouds in the sky and the sheep on the grassland. From a distance, it is really difficult to tell whether it is the sky, the earth, the clouds, the snow or the sheep.

The Jade Pagoda is surrounded by mountains, green grass and green, with no end in sight, like a green carpet spread to the distant horizon. On this carpet, there are many white, yellow, red and purple mountain flowers competing for beauty, setting off the grassland on the border of the motherland so beautifully! Whenever the breeze blows, the grass shakes its head, the flowers laugh and the cattle and sheep run in it, giving people the enjoyment of the beauty of life.

In the early morning, the whole pasture was shrouded in milky mist, and the grass leaves were covered with crystal dew, and the air was fresh and humid. Walking on the grassland in the morning will make people ecstatic. Soon, the eastern sun was born in the sky, and all kinds of summer light shone on the grassland. Red gauze curtain, green grass carpet and white smoke from Kirgiz felt house decorate the grassland more beautifully.
