Kalajun Grassland is located on the southeast side of the county seat of Tekes County, Yili, about 30 kilometers away from the county seat. It is one of the most famous grasslands in Xinjiang, and it is also a famous scenic spot that tourists should not miss when visiting Xinjiang West Line (Ili Ring Road). The Kalajun Grassland is in the shape of continuous hills, backed by towering snow-capped mountains, and there are forests, flowers and other landscapes on the grassland. The scenery is vast and beautiful, and it is an excellent resort for sightseeing and photography.
In a broad sense, Kalajun refers to the Kalajun eco-tourism area, including several major scenic spots, including East and West Kalajun, Kuokesu Grand Canyon, Zhongtian Mountain Snow Peak and Tianlaizhilin. Each scenic spot sells tickets separately and is far apart. The Kalajun Grassland generally refers to the East and West Kalajun Scenic Spots, and it is also the main place for tourists to visit the Kalajun Grassland. The east and west Kalajun scenic spots sell tickets together, and the same shuttle bus passes through. It takes about 1-2 days to play, and you can choose to stay on the grassland for one night in the middle. You can also come in the morning and return to Tekes County for accommodation at night.
The gate of the scenic spot is located in the Kushtai comprehensive service area, which is also the place where chartered or self-driving vehicles need to stop, and private vehicles in the subsequent areas cannot enter. If tourists take the scenic bus from Tekes County, they can also go directly to the Braque ticket station. The fare from the county seat to the ticket station is 35 yuan.
After arriving at the Braque ticket station, you need to buy tickets and sightseeing tickets in the scenic area, and then take a sightseeing bus to play. The area of the scenic spot is very large. The sightseeing car will first circle the West Kalajun Scenic Area, and then go to the East Kalajun. The one-way journey takes about 1 hour. The junction of East and West Kalajun is located in the World Heritage Exhibition Center, and it is also the place where the owners of the accommodation in the scenic area usually come to pick up the guests. Generally, tourists start to visit the scenic spot at noon, and they can visit West Kalajun on the first day. Get off at the exhibition center and take the car of the accommodation owner to the accommodation. The next day, return to the World Heritage Exhibition Center, take a bus to visit the East Kalajun Scenic Area, and then leave.
In the Xikalajun Scenic Area, there are mainly Wangyutai, Marmot Habitat, Liangyitai, Dielang Valley, Shiquan, Yinma Bay, Yikeshu and other scenic spots, which can be stopped in turn for sightseeing. Among them, Liangyitai, Dielanggu and Shiquan are still some distance away from the stop of the shuttle bus. It takes about half an hour to walk from the stop to get there. You can also take a local motorcycle at the stop for about 50 yuan. The Xikalajun Scenic Area is dominated by rolling hilly landscapes, and Dielang Valley is a typical hilly grassland. In summer, there are layers of greenery, which is a good place for photography.
East Kalajun is located in the depths, and it is also the essence of the entire grassland. The most famous places here are Wuhua Meadow, Huahua Terrace, Kurdai Forest Grand Canyon, Sanji Flattening Plane Observation Deck and Falcon Terrace Viewing Point. The scenic spots include snow-capped mountains, grassland scenery, forest canyons, etc. The scenery is diverse and very beautiful. However, the five scenic spots are a little far from the parking spots of the sightseeing cars. You can walk from the parking spots for about 0.5-1 hour, or take a motorcycle to get there, about 50 yuan. Five-flower meadow and Flower Terrace are the most exciting scenic spots. One is an open meadow full of colorful wild flowers, and the other is where you can take pictures of the snow-capped mountains behind the grassland. They are all very beautiful and are the essence of the scenic spot that cannot be missed.

Kala Jun is also a favorite route for many hiking enthusiasts. The hike usually starts from Qiongkushitai Village outside the scenic spot (this is also the starting point of the famous Wusun Ancient Road), and you can reach the Kala Jun Grassland in about 8 hours. Generally, you will stay in Jiasagan Village in the scenic area. It should be noted that you also need to buy tickets for the scenic spot when taking the hiking route. If you need to take the shuttle bus out of the scenic spot the next day, you also need to buy a one-way shuttle bus ticket.
The hiking distance is long, it is recommended not to travel alone, it is best to follow the team organized by the outdoors, and hire a guide at Joan Kush Terrace, the guide costs about 150 yuan per day.
