Nalati Grassland 2006-10-27

It is said that during Genghis Khan’s Western Expedition, a Mongolian army marched from the depths of the Tianshan Mountains to Ili. It was spring, but there was wind and snow in the mountains. The army was so exhausted from hunger and cold that they didn't want to cross the mountains. But in front of them was a vast grassland with flowers and tapestry, dense springs and gurgling water. It was like entering another world. At this time, the clouds opened and the sun rose and the setting sun was like Blood, people couldn't help shouting "Nalati (there is the sun), Nalati" and left this place name. The Nalati Grassland is a mid-mountain grassland developed on the ancient alluvial layer of the 3rd century. It is connected to the Nalati Mountains in the southeast and is like a barrier. In the northwest, it breaks off along the valley of the upper reaches of the Gonnasi River. The terrain is largely sloping, with dense mountain springs and crisscrossing streams. . At the foot of the mountain, there are deep ravines, intertwined rivers, dense forests, gently undulating wilderness, pine cone pillars along the gullies, dots of yurts, and herds of livestock. It is an important summer pasture in the Gongnaisi Grassland. Nalati Scenic Area is located in Jingnei, Nalati Town, Xinyuan County, on the northern slope of Chulute Mountain. With the Nalati Town Tourist Reception Station as its core, it includes surrounding grasslands, racecourses and many other attractions. It is full of the tranquility and tranquility of a mountain village. The valley terraces are obviously developed, the mountains are gentle, the slope is about 11-12 degrees, and there are lush mountain meadows of the thin-stemmed iris group. Other companion species mainly include tangerine, false gentian, carex, wheatgrass, fescue, strawberry and thyme. From June to September, various wild flowers bloom all over the hills, with colors of red, yellow, blue and purple decorating the grassland gorgeously. The Nalati Grassland Scenic Area has begun to take shape, and the scenic area is currently being further developed. The development of scenic areas and scenic spots should dig into the connotation and rely on the advantages of natural scenery resources to improve the taste and quality of tourism and vacation. Nalati grassland is a sub-alpine meadow plant. It is composed of lush and colorful mesophytic weeds and grasses. The plants are 50-60 cm tall and the coverage can reach 75-90%. In mid-spring, the grass is tall, the flowers are blooming, and the green grass is like brocade, which is extremely beautiful. The annual rainfall in Nalati can reach 800 mm. It is conducive to the growth of pasture and has a high livestock capacity. In history, the Nalati Grassland was known as the "Deer Park". After June every year, large groups of livestock move in, entering the golden season of the grassland. Various gatherings of grassland people are also held here, so some people say that Nalati is a resort for grassland gatherings. Nalati Hamuster Ski Resort is 12 kilometers away from Xinyuan County and only two kilometers away from Nalati Airport. In winter, the endless white snow and the rolling mountains are closely connected with the sky. The mountains and the sky are inlaid with rows of dark green pine trees, just like a natural ink painting. People on the ski resort are skiing or taking snowmobiles for sightseeing, and there are also groups of children riding snow wheels and having fun. 1. Nalati Prairie is located at the intersection of National Highway 218 and Duku Highway. Go north along the Duku Highway through Dushanzi to Urumqi, which is 460 kilometers away. It takes about 8 hours to get there; if the Uku-Kui Highway is opened to traffic, the time will be shortened to 7 hours; go west for 300 kilometers on National Highway 216, 4 hours to Yining City and connect with National Highway 312 to Horgos Port and Sailim Lake; go east along 300 kilometers of National Highway 216 to Korla City, an important town in southern Xinjiang; go south Along the Duku Highway for 240 kilometers to reach Qiuci Ancient Treasury County, the transportation is very convenient. 2. It takes about 4 hours to drive from Yining, or 2 hours from Xinyuan County, which is about 110.0 kilometers away. The Kazakh-style local accommodation and food will not be missed when traveling. 3. Accommodation: Nalati Resort has various types of accommodation with prices ranging from 100 to 300 yuan. Tickets: New ticket prices will be implemented from May 10, 2007. That is, due to the merger of Nalati Scenic Area and Nalati Forest Park, the scope of scenic area tours has been expanded, and the ticket price has been re-adjusted to 75 yuan per person, and the original Nalati has been cancelled. Tickets for Forest Park are 20 yuan per person. However, based on the current actual situation of investment in infrastructure construction, management and service levels in scenic spots, the standard of 65 yuan per person will be implemented in 2007. Transportation:

Take a bus from Yining Bus Station to Nalati, arrive at noon, and go to the resort or the prairie (you don’t need to go to the Forest Park, the scenery is not interesting). The number of shuttle buses from Yining to Nalati is very small, and tickets are difficult to buy. You can buy tickets for Xinyuan first, and then transfer to Nalati.

The next afternoon I took a bus to Bayinbuluke (from Nalati to Kuqa). The condition of the bus and the road were very poor. Because it was a bus, there might not be a seat. It drives very slowly again, so be mentally prepared). Food:

The rich grassland diet of the Kazakh people such as milk tea, butter, cheese, kumiss, naren, bacon, horse intestines, finger meat, roasted whole lamb, mutton skewers, etc. is amazing. Absolutely. As long as you come to the grassland, the hospitable Kazakhs will bring you a bowl of fragrant milk tea in a friendly manner, invite you into the yurt to drink a bowl of kumiss, play the tambura, and sing loudly.
