Nanshan Baiyinggou Scenic Area-Xibaiyang Valley, Xinjiang Uygur, China
4.0 (2 reviews) Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent Ranking #5 in Urumqi County Valleys
Scenic with all Chinese cons.
Very pretty area up the valley, but narrow area without much scope for hiking. Best for a big group day out - Big parking lot; buy entry ticket, walk up the road to a big eating area with many yurts, take a shuttle (buy ticket on shuttle) or walk the maybe 3 kms up a road by the river to the water fall, pose for photos, walk or ride a horse back to the yurt area, eat and drink. The walk is on a paved road and there is the occasional car, horse and shuttle cart that you have to get out of the way for. There is a fenced horse track on the hill side almost back to eating area if you want to ride a horse on the grass. For a quiet picnic, there is one place you can climb the scree hill opposite the waterfall, where there isn't actually a sign saying no climbing. Over the crest is a pretty small valley with a stream and the area is minimally trashed.

Beautiful Nanshan
You can get here by local bus and it's worth a day trip or much more. You can stay in yurts adn enjoy the stunning scenery. Try to avoid weekends and karakoe spots.
