This gully is surrounded by snow-capped mountains covered with tall dragon-spruce trees.

In Mongolian 'Urumqi' means 'beautiful pastures'. The Southern Pastures just lies in the suburb area of the city, about 75 kilometers (about 46 miles) away from it. It is a piece of natural grassland covering an area of 119 square kilometers (about 45 square miles). Its location in the area at the northern foot of Karawuquntag Mountain makes it a nice summer resort. Attraction Intro: Southern Pastures
