喀拉峻草原

The undulating alpine meadows, deep valleys and snow-capped mountains of the Kalajun Mountains in the background demonstrate the combination of ecology and long-term pastoral utilization of the Western Tianshan Mountains. The scenic area is large and wet soil is highly susceptible to damage, so legal viewpoints and managed trails should be used rather than temporary ruts.

那拉提草原

Nalati is located in the high mountain valley of the Tianshan Mountains. The river steps, spruce slopes and summer pastures form different tourist routes. This is still a Kazakh pastoral production landscape, and livestock migration is as important as seasonal grazing and viewing spots; the flowering period, snow peak clarity and grazing scenes all change with the weather seasons.

夏塔古道景区

Xiata is a river valley shaped by meltwater from Tianshan glaciers and is associated with the historic mountain pass and is now visited via a managed corridor. Meadows and forests lead to distant ice and snow, not an easy glacier walk; older routes on the network may pass through areas closed by rivers, weather or protection.

伊犁州博物馆

The Yili Prefecture Museum provides context for understanding a river valley shaped by grassland passages, Silk Road exchanges, Qing governance, agriculture, and multiple ethnic groups. Exhibitions of archeology, fabrics, metal tools and local history prevent the grassland trip from leaving only deserted scenery and vague era.

喀赞其历史文化街区

Kazanqi is a neighborhood where Yining still lives, with colorful courtyards, mosques, workshops, restaurants and tree-lined lanes intertwined. Some courtyards are open to tourists, but a large number of residences are still private spaces, and access rights must be determined on a door-to-door basis.

赛里木湖

Sailimu Lake is located in the alpine basin of the western section of the Tianshan Mountains. Lakes, grasslands, wetlands and seasonal ice and snow together form a complete ecological landscape. The roads around the lake and open areas are adjusted according to protection and weather conditions. Visitors should park at designated locations and not drive into meadows. The flowering period, lake color or the appearance of swans should not be regarded as a guarantee.
