Urumqi Attractions

Nanshan Grassland

Great Wall The Nanshan Grassland (Baiyanggou) is a natural paradise, with scenery and surroundings similar to that at Heaven Lake. This area, 75 km south of Urumqi city is located at the base of the Tianshan Mountain range. This is a great land for hiking, with gushing valleys and waterfalls falling down the hillsides and the ginseng herb growing on the hillside. The Kasakh people like to spend their summers here and travelers can take a horseback tour with a Kasakh guide, climb over the mountains or stay in the traditional yurt.

The building occupies a space of 11,000 square meters and is built in a modern style enhanced by local architectural features.
