Hundred-Mile Landscape Gallery (Tangbula)
Located in Nileke County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Hundred-Mile Landscape Gallery, also known as Tangbula Grassland, stretches over 100 kilometers along Provincial Highway S315 in the Tianshan mountain valley. It earns its poetic name for the ever-changing picturesque views unfolding all along the driving route.
Snow-capped peaks stand in the distance, covered with dense spruce forests, while clear rivers wind through vast green meadows. White Kazakh yurts scatter across the grassland, with flocks of sheep and cattle wandering leisurely among wild blooming flowers. Every turn presents a brand-new natural painting, especially enchanting in summer when the grass turns lush and colorful wildflowers carpet the valley.
This free scenic spot is a paradise for self-driving travelers and photography lovers. Visitors can ride horses on the grassland, camp under the starry sky, taste authentic Kazakh roasted lamb and local dairy food, and experience the primitive pastoral lifestyle of nomadic people. Away from urban noise, this natural gallery lets you fully embrace the breathtaking wild beauty of Xinjiang’s Ili region.
