Admission is free. It is not too far to walk from the passenger station. After entering, walk along the plank road, you can enjoy the grassland and the mountains on the other side. There are some stone figures in the middle, which should not be cultural relics, but they are quite cute. It was at noon in August when I came here. It might be too hot and there were no people. I could take better photos of the blue sky and green grass, although the grass is not very green. You can go straight to another entrance.

Due to the small size of the area, the Barkol Grassland is not as famous as those famous prairie. However, the scenery of the Barkol Grassland is still good, and the sight of the herds of cattle and sheep broadens the horizons of tourists.

From Hami to the north, over the Tianshan Mountains, you will come to the Barkol Prairie. Here, the snow-capped mountains are crystal clear, the pine forests are green, and the clouds and mists are shrouded in unpredictable changes. Unlike the endless grasslands in Inner Mongolia, where you can see the horizon where the grass meets the sky, Balikun is a basin, surrounded by continuous mountain tops that meet the blue sky, the scenery is very magnificent!
