West Poplar Valley in Nanshan Mountains is a well-known summer resort in southern suburb of Urumqi and about 30 km away from downtown area of Urumqi. On entering the valley, you can see the under the blue sky are magnificent mountains, herds of sheep and cattle, thick forest and brooks. Here, as you like, you can have a look at the picturesque view here, or you can rent a horse from a Kazakh herdsman for a gallop in the grassland, or ride the horse to go into the thick forest. At the utmost in the valley is a 10-odd m high natural cliff from which a 2-m wide waterfall drops making a lot of water mist. If you want to have a look at the evening view of the grassland, you can stay here at night. Here there is a yurt hostel and restaurant run by the Nanshan Scenic Area Administration. At nights it is a bit cold here, so tourists must take additional clothes. In addition, it is better for you to have a flashlight.
