The grassland is full of wild flowers, pearl-like felt houses, snow-white sheep and galloping horses, where we play and shoot to our heart's content.

Day3

Qingshuihe Town-Huocheng Lavender-Yizhao Highway-Zhaosu

After breakfast, leave and pass through Huocheng, Yili, one of the three largest lavender planting bases in the world. Lavender season in bloom (usually from late May to late July, affected by the weather, etc., each year is slightly different), the little friends will go to the lavender planting base and go deep into the lavender flower field. Large blue-purple flowers sway with the wind like waves, and even the wind is full of refreshing flowers.

passing through Yizhao Highway This is an Yizhao Highway that crosses the Tianshan Mountains for life and death, with a total length of 181 kilometers. It starts from Xiate Ranch in Zhaosu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in the north, and ends at Shate Ancient Road, a broken city in Wensu County, Aksu Prefecture in the south, connecting the north and south of Tianshan Mountains with beautiful snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands. Blue sky, white clouds, cattle and sheep all over the mountains, and galloping Zhaosu steeds. Rape flowers all over the mountains are in full bloom everywhere, and their eyes are full of beauty. The Yizhao Highway leading to Zhaosu is even more scenic and scenic.

Yizhao Highway is also a section of the "Bowing Moon Road" of the ancient Silk Road. Along the way, it crosses Angele Tedaban (3111m above sea level) on Wusun Mountain. The road is steep, winding and steep, with deep cliffs on both sides, but the scenery is beautiful all the way, as if walking on the white clouds.

Precautions

1. It is open to traffic from June to October every year. If it is not open to traffic due to the weather, it will waste a lot of time and cost the same.

2. When lavender is in full bloom, the small partner gives a visit to the lavender planting base (in the farmland, the area is larger, and the tickets are included). After harvesting in the farmland, the ornamental lavender here will not be harvested, but there is a sales counter for lavender products at the exit of the manor, which is not a shopping spot and does not need to be purchased.

Day4

Walking on Zhaosu-Xiata Ancient Road-Tex

(hiking/horseback riding, round-trip routes, mostly flat, can be turned back in advance)

Along the way, there are beautiful rural areas in Zhaosu and endless wheat fields. June-July is also the blooming season of rape and perilla, and in the distance, there are continuous snow peaks in Tianshan Mountains. Passing through the Tekes River Wetland, if you are lucky, you will encounter spectacular Tianma groups drinking and playing by the river, and groups of "Xiji Tianma" flying on the Zhaosu prairie, which is very shocking.

after that, we arrived at the scenic spot of Xiata Ancient Road, which connects the north and south of Tianshan Mountain. It is the most famous and steep ancient pass on the ancient Silk Road, and is also called "Xuanzang Road" by the outdoor community. Of course, we don't cross the whole section, but choose the essence of a leisure hike (the original road is round trip, the round trip hiking distance is about 16 kilometers, it takes about 5-6 hours, the scenery is shocking and the road is smooth). At noon, we need to have a picnic on the grassland (note: there is no supply in the scenic area, so we need to prepare a delicious meal for Chinese food in advance). We walked along the grassland path in the direction of Muzalte Snow Mountain, with wild flowers, cattle, sheep and streams all over the way. The plump and naive marmot (woodchuck) appeared around us from time to time, as if walking into the garden of the gods!

Leave at the right time in the afternoon and go to the beautiful town of Tex. Tekes, also known as Bagua City, is famous for building a city in the form of gossip in the Book of Changes. Free activities after arranging accommodation. In the evening, you can go to Tex Night Market, taste the special food of the western regions, and have a big meal (Tex's lamb chops are famous, so it is recommended to taste them)!

Remarks:

1. Frog Spring, the terminal of Xiata Ancient Road, can choose to walk or take the battery car or carriage in the scenic spot. If you take the battery car or carriage, you should take care of yourself.

2. The hiking section of Xiata Ancient Road Scenic Spot is a round-trip section, and you can do what you can according to your own physical strength.

Day5

Tex-Kuoxu Grand Canyon-Karajun Grassland

Leave after breakfast and pass through Tex Bagua City for simple food supply. Entering the Kuoxu Grand Canyon Scenic Area is the core scenic spot of the five scenic spots in Karajun Tourist Area.

the landscape features of the scenic spot are mainly canyon landform, water landscape and alpine grassland, which are integrated with high gorge, Pinghu Lake, snow-capped peaks, primitive vegetation, steep peaks and cliffs, and strange rocks in streams. Ecology and humanity reflect each other, giving people a magnificent and beautiful feeling. Here, you can take a cruise, explore drifting, taste delicious food, and feel the unique Kazakh folk customs and the reclamation culture of the Corps.

in the afternoon, we will go deep into the Kalajun Prairie, the core area of Tianshan World Natural Heritage. "Karajun" is Kazakh, which means "black and boundless grassland". This is the core area of Tianshan World Natural Heritage, which overturns the general aesthetic "fatigue" of monotonous grassland color and single landscape, defines a new grassland landscape, and presents a "three-dimensional grassland" that is easy to watch (note: chinese national geography recommended comments). Located in the Kalajun prairie on the mountainside of Tianshan Mountain, there are flowers everywhere, flocks of cattle and sheep, little yurts and snow peaks in Tianshan Mountain in the distance.

Tonight, we will live on the Karajun prairie, present a special Kazakh yurt dinner, and experience the nomadic Kazakh yurt culture. On a clear night, the stars are shining, and we sit quietly near the yurt and look up at the starry sky. It is also a favorite place for astrophotography lovers, so don't miss it for those who like starry photography.

Precautions:

3. Give a special Kazakh yurt dinner: there is no restaurant on the grassland, and the friends have prepared special Kazakh foods in advance: pilaf, naan, milk tea, kebabs and so on. If you want to taste roast sheep or other delicious food, please take care of yourself.

4. During the hiking period, our bus can't enter the scenic spot. Before leaving in the morning, please pack up the toiletries for tonight and try to enter the scenic spot in a simple way.

5. The itinerary includes tickets and scenic spots for Kuoxu Canyon in Karajun grassland, and the fees for cruise ships and ropeways, so everyone can enjoy the panoramic Karajun. (Drifting, riding at your own expense)

Drive: about 221KM

Dining: breakfast included, lunch provided, dinner: Kazakh special meal

Accommodation: Kazakh felt house in Karajun grassland (limited conditions, no bathing, Bring your own toiletries)

Day6

Karajun Grassland-Qiongkushitai (light walking)

Little friends who like photography, it is not recommended to sleep in today. You can't miss the sunrise on the grassland. After breakfast, the friends set out for Joan Kush Terrace under the guidance of the guide and team leader. Today, the walking distance is about 21 kilometers, which takes about 7-8 hours. Chinese food comes with a meal of dry food (there is no supply on the way).

We started our journey early in the morning. The endless grassland was full of flowers, the snow-capped mountains were towering in the distance, and there were few tourists on the road. Walking through the third-level platform of Karajun, overlooking the three-dimensional grassland mottled forest, I met nomadic Kazakh herders along the way and greeted them warmly. To continue to approach the edge of Kurdai River Canyon, you need to go through a big downhill (note: the downhill is about 2-3 kilometers, and there are many gravel, so you need to be careful and slow down, and the team should cooperate with each other), go down to the forest zone of Kurdai River Canyon, walk through the spruce and fir jungle in Xueling (help each other and pay attention to safety when crossing the stream), and have a picnic in the valley on the way (you need to bring your own dry food and water). After crossing the Kurdai River, we entered the more primitive and natural Joan Kushitai grassland, which is full of poetry and painting, and the cabins on the grassland along the way will remind people of the scene of the Hobbit cabin in The Devil's World. We stopped all the way, took pictures, and then climbed over the Pegasus Beam (the best scenic spot along the way). Joan Kushitai suddenly appeared in front of us, marveling at the hidden paradise in the depths of Tianshan Mountain.

In the evening, let's stay in Qiong Kushitai, grazing in Jialeduo, and let's talk big! Watch sky full of stars in the shepherd's yard at night, and don't miss it if you like the starry sky!

Tips:

1. Today, the intensity of hiking is 4 stars, and there are many uphill and downhill roads. You need to go through outdoor routes, so you must bring double hiking poles and hiking shoes. Small friends will provide horses to camel and run luggage. Walking lightly is not recommended.
