It's so beautiful that if you can't go to Yili, you should at least visit Jiangbulak once

Jiangbulak means 'the source of holy water' in Kazakh. I personally think it's the most worthwhile grassland landscape to visit around Urumqi. Compared to a self-driving trip to the Ili region in northern Xinjiang, it takes about 3 hours to drive from Urumqi to Jiangbulak. You don't need a very long holiday. A two-day one-night stay or even a day trip can be achieved. ➡️ From distant mountains, forests to canyons, grasslands... These natural elements blend in Jiangbulak, It has a bit of the vibe of the Sky Grassland Karajun. ➡️ On the hillside, the herders' simple wooden huts, Cattle, sheep, and horses can be seen grazing by the stream, Isn't this the dreamy Qiongkushitai Grassland? ➡️ Standing on the viewing platform of the grand canyon, Although there are no large rocks for contrast, It already has the taste of the Guozigou Bridge, right? 📸【Jiangbulak·Photo Shooting Strategy】 🌾 'Tianshan Wheat Sea' In August, the romantic waves of wheat unique to Jiangbulak are a sight to behold! When the weather is clear and you have plenty of time, wait for a beautiful sunset in the wheat field. 🛣️ 'Tianshan Strange Slope' It looks like a downhill, but if you park the car in neutral, it will go backwards! After experiencing it, don't rush to leave, ⚠️📷 a little further ahead is my parking spot 🅿️1️⃣ for the shot. 🛤️ 'Flower Sea Child' A ten-minute walk on a plank road where you can hang a wish lock. The view along the way is great, with lots of little yellow flowers and dandelions. ⚠️📷 The end of the plank road is a hidden photo spot, with snow-capped mountains, spruce, grasslands, and winding roads, making for beautiful pictures! On the other side of the road is where I took the photo of the sunlit golden mountain. 🌲 'Jiangbulak Grand Canyon' There is a helicopter sightseeing experience here. Standing on the upper level of the viewing platform and photographing people on the lower level, the background of spruce and canyon is the most like the photo spot of Guozigou Bridge. 🏠 'Hexing Wine & Shop' ⚠️📷 This is also considered a hidden photo spot in Jiangbulak! Those who don't stay might not stop here, but the wooden houses behind the mountain are really photogenic~
