Nalati Grassland


Nalati Grassland, one of the world's four largest grasslands, lies on the south Xinjiang-north Xinjiang traffic artery. It is the highest prairie in China with lush grassland and surrounding mountain and a home of meadow vegetation. It has been a famous pasture since ancient times.

Nalati scenic area covers 400 sq km of the country's second largest grassland. The grassland has quiet streams, fresh air and abundant vegetation. It is home to a 10th of China's Kazakh community, and its rolling hills are dotted with their camps. The landscape is carpeted with wild flowers, upon which wander herds of goats, sheep and cows.

From June to September, the vast expanse of lush grassland is dotted with colorful wild flowers. The surrounding snow mountains, white clouds, blue sky make this grassland more charming. Thus, this period is the best time to visit this wonderland. Many activities are held in this ‘Cradle of Kazaks’. The hospitable Kazak herdsmen receive guests with their particular custom and culture.
