[Traveling in the Grassland and Pastoral Areas in Xinjiang ②]

　　Xinyuan County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture.

The sunshine in the autumn afternoon casts a golden yellow on the Nalati grassland.

　　On the alpine pastures, there is a busy scene.

Lawn mowers, rakes, and balers work in turn. The roar of the machines is accompanied by the laughter and laughter of herdsmen, and they float into the distance on the boundless prairie.

　　"It is very convenient for machines to cut grass now. It is one-stop for cutting, bale and raking, and it can be done in one day for 200 acres of land." Herdsman Heyasbek Shapar told reporters.

　　As a large animal husbandry family in Nalati Town, He Yasbeike's family has 1,626 mu of pasture, and this year, the area of ​​​​grazing is 725 mu.

He pointed his finger at the reporter and counted the income: this year, a total of 11,946 bales of grass were cut in the pasture, and 2,000 bales were reserved for personal use, and the rest could be sold for 100,000 yuan.

Together with state subsidies, the grassland income can exceed 130,000 yuan.

In the large animal husbandry town of Nalati, there are many profitable herdsmen like Black Yasbek.

　　This prosperous grassland, bathed in the luster of the sun, not only brings people green, but also brings people the joy of harvest.

　　In a corner of the grassland, a young painter is concentrating on sketching. He wants to paint the beautiful scenery where the sunshine of hope shines into the life of herdsmen.

　　His name is Mahesati Nuer Adlibek, and he is 28 years old.

Three years ago, after graduating from Yili Normal University with a major in fine arts, Mahe Sati returned to his hometown to start a business and painted wall paintings for herdsmen in his wealthy hometown.

After earning money, he started his own restaurant and homestay.

　　The energetic Kazakh young man said to us: "I now run more than a dozen Kazakh yurts, which are full every day during the peak tourist season. In order to expand the reception scale, I purchased 4 RVs last year, and this year I ordered 16 more vacant rooms. ."

　　Mahesati told reporters that we want to provide tourists with comfortable, warm and diverse choices, such as living in yurts, RVs, and enjoying the stars in the star room.

　　We thought, how romantic it is to look up at the stars and see the meteor shower at night on the grassland.

　　On the Nalati grassland in the afternoon, the eye-catching horse team was full of energy and beauty.

　　In 2013, Arshan Village, Nalati Town established its own horse team cooperative.

The captain of the horse team, Tubus Oderez, told reporters that there were only 5 horses in the cooperative's start-up period, but now there are as many as 150 horses. The horses are equipped with uniform equipment, and there are special personnel to provide logistics services. 80 yuan, a horse can earn more than 20,000 yuan a year.”

　　Speaking of the business of the cavalry team, Songhar Bahetijiang, the deputy mayor of Nalati Town, is full of ambition: "There are now 7 professional cooperatives for cavalry teams in the town, with a total of more than 1,000 horses, receiving more than 100,000 tourists a year and increasing income by nearly Millions of dollars."

　　At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the soft rays of the setting sun sprinkled on the beautiful grassland. Herdsmen raking grass, tourists on horseback, leisurely cattle and sheep, and yurts curled with cooking smoke, formed a beautiful pastoral picture.

It is a tranquil picture scroll, a moving picture scroll, but also a colorful picture scroll and a harvest picture scroll.
