In the last issue, we shared how to buy tickets for the Kalajun Scenic Spot and the time to take the shuttle bus.
In this issue, let’s talk about how to play Kala Jun!
Route 1: Kuokesu Grand Canyon 1-day route
The scenic spot is divided into two ticket stations. We chose to go to the Kuokesu Grand Canyon first and navigate directly to the scenic spot (main entrance) of Xinjiang Kalajun Tourist Service Center. The ticket station is 15 kilometers away from Tekes County.
The service center has complete facilities, including a panoramic guide map of the scenic spot, an information desk, a self-service ticket machine, lockers, and a rest area.
After buying tickets online, just swipe your ID card to enter the scenic spot, which is convenient and fast. Global tickets are available at both ticket stations.
Kushitay Pier
Kurtai Wharf
The shuttle bus in the scenic area will take us to Kushtai Wharf, where we will take a scenic cruise to visit Kala Jun Lake and arrive at Kurtai Wharf.
Kara Jun Lake
There is a wooden plank road at the pier for walking, and you can have a panoramic view of the lake from the heights.
Here I would like to praise the staff of the scenic spot, they are handsome, enthusiastic and polite, like it!
You can take a shuttle bus at the pier to see the scenery of the canyon!

Crocodile Bay Boardwalk
The first stop is Crocodile Bay. There are no crocodiles here. It is named after the shape of the valley and the mountains that look like two crocodiles lying on the bottom of the valley. The milky white water of the river flows through the canyon. Visitors can walk from the drop-off point to the best viewing point.

There are many toilets and tourist rest areas in the scenic area, with a unified style, which complements the scenery. Pay attention to the trash can in the picture and find out where it is!
The second stop is the Grand Canyon. The scenery is beautiful during the ride. The canyon style and grassland scenery are matched in color, and you can perfectly feel the majestic Kara Jun even on cloudy days.
The little girl and the young man of the herdsman are honest and kind, and kindly let us hug their lamb.
Jiuqu Shibawan
The third stop is Jiuqu Shibawan (Human Grassland). The rolling hillsides form a magnificent and vast landscape. When there is sufficient sunlight, the lines of the hillside are like the outline of the human body, with concave and convex. But we were not very lucky. It was cloudy and there was no sunshine, so we didn't take pictures of the most classic side of the alpine grassland.
Route 2: Kala Jun Grassland 1-day route
Another ticket station in the scenic spot is the Kalajun Grassland Ticket Station, that is, the Braque Ticket Station, and the service facilities are relatively complete. For the prairie one-day route, you can enter from the ticket gate and take the shuttle bus.
Karajun Cableway Station
Since we are a global ticket, we can return to the Kurtai Cableway Station on the same route, take the cableway to the Kalajun Cableway Station, and use the shortest time to perfectly transform ourselves from the magnificent canyon to the soft grassland!
The Kalajun prairie is clean in blue and pure in green. Along the way, there are forests and snow-capped mountains in the distance, and there are leisurely cattle, sheep and horses beside the road.
The first stop on the prairie is the military horse farm, where there is a "grass skiing" amusement project, 30 yuan/time, 70 yuan/unlimited. You must experience the thrill of sliding down on the blue carpet!
The second stop is Flower Terrace, which is the best place to enjoy flowers in the grassland. After getting off the bus, there is a wooden plank road to climb up. There is an endless sea of flowers on it. You must climb up. The scenery is very worthwhile and will make people shine !
On the way to Falcon Terrace, there is a boundary marker of the World Natural Heritage Site worth seeing. Opposite is the vast river valley. You will be deeply shocked by the scenery here!
The third stop is Falcon Terrace, which is a traditional place for Kazakhs to train eagles. You can walk to the deepest point. The altitude here is about 2,600 meters. You can see the snow-capped mountains overlooking the canyon, and you can also see eagles soaring. pregnancy.
Shooting strategy
1. The Kalajun Grassland is a typical alpine grassland with gentle undulations and a very wide field of view. Even a novice photographer can take pictures of the windows desktop.
2. Start as early as possible. If the weather is good, you will have enough time to squat on the golden human grassland.
3. Don’t be depressed if there is no sunny day. Kala Jun is very beautiful in rainy days, quiet and fresh. Canyons, forests, grasslands and mountains are looming in the rain and fog. Then you can truly understand the artistic conception in the poem "the clouds are not the same as the mountains, and the mountains are dark and misty".
4. Girls can wear white, blue, green and other solid-colored clothing. Accessories are also very important. A hat is a good choice.
5. Grasslands can have a variety of styles. Our young lady this time has a French pastoral feel.
6. The main keynote of the Kuokesu Grand Canyon is grandeur. When shooting, you can bring the distant mountains into the lens, giving you a sense of sight.
7. All scenic spots in the scenic area are equipped with toilets, which are clean and hygienic. There is also a food sales area at the scenic spot transfer shuttle bus, so you can rest assured to visit and have fun!
