Help! The scenery in Xinjiang is absolutely stunning!

Nalati is a classic example of Xinjiang's grassland scenery, while Qiaxi has become a rising star in the past two years. Due to our tight schedule, we visited both places within one day. Qiaxi is more suitable for camping and off-roading, and the requirements for driving the Qiaxi Ring Road are higher. Nalati is perfect for leisure travel, with better amenities in the scenic area and easier access. - 📍Nalati: Ticket🎫: 95/1 person 🌟Nalati has two routes, the Sky Grassland and the Valley Grassland 1️⃣Sky Grassland shuttle bus: 40 round trip/1 person 🔺Visitor Center - Tianjie Platform - Tianmu Ranch - Nomad's Home 🔺Nomad's Home - Tiancheng Platform - Snow Lotus Valley ✔️Shuttle bus 60/1 person round trip, buy tickets at the Nomad's Home stop 2️⃣Valley Grassland: 24 round trip/1 person 🔴Travel tips: 1️⃣For the Sky Grassland shuttle, you must get off at every stop and then board the next bus 2️⃣Tianmu Ranch is a vast grassland where you can ride horses or take a helicopter 3️⃣I think the essence of Nalati's scenery is at Nomad's Home and the subsequent Tiancheng Platform 4️⃣The popular bridge is near Nomad's Home, about a ten-minute walk away. If you want to go to Snow Lotus Valley, you can ask the driver to drop you off at the bridge 5️⃣When we went, the Snow Lotus Valley was melting snow, and the ground was dirty and not very attractive 6️⃣There's a queue for photos on the popular bridge, and if the stream is dirty, the photos won't look good 📷Photo tips: 1️⃣Definitely go to Tiancheng Platform for photos; the spruce trees have great shapes, and the sky is very blue in the afternoon, making it a great photo opportunity with the sunlight 1️⃣Near the popular bridge, on the sunny grass next to the stream, with the stream, pine trees, rolling grass, and sky, stand in the sunlight 3️⃣The slopes on both sides of the stream are very photogenic (shoot from a low angle) 🔺Use the distant snow-capped mountains as a background 🔺From the bottom of the slope, you can capture the feeling of being in the sky - 📍Qiaxi: Ticket🎫: 30/1 person 🔴Travel tips: 1️⃣The scenic area now limits 1500 vehicles per day, remember to book in advance 2️⃣Currently, small cars and commercial vehicles are not allowed to drive to Qiaxi Scroll Viewing Platform and Qiaxi Ring Road, but there are shuttles from the visitor center to the viewing platform 3️⃣The Qiaxi Ring Road is in poor condition, with a low chassis scraping the bottom, and the narrow road is not beginner-friendly 4️⃣You can walk the plank road from the visitor center to the viewing platform, but it's really hot under the sun this season🫠, so bring a fan and pay attention to sun protection! 📷Photo tips: 1️⃣The viewing platform offers beautiful views of the grassland and snow-capped mountains! In the morning, face the sunlight when taking photos, otherwise, the backlight will make you look a bit dark 2️⃣Next to the viewing platform is the highway, and the hillside next to the highway is a great spot for photos 3️⃣The slopes here echo the shape of the distant grassland and snow-capped mountains, and shooting from a low angle makes the lines very beautiful - 👗Outfit tips: This kind of scenery doesn't require picky outfits for photos. I wanted to capture the feeling of a pastoral girl, so I chose a white dress with a girlish vibe, and the print on the dress echoes the wildflowers on the grassland.
