Emin Yemili Grassland 额敏也迷里草原

About Emin Yemili Grassland

The county lies in China's western border region in Tacheng Prefecture, among the Wurkashar, Barluk and Tarbahatai ranges, and is a river-valley pasture. Its seat takes its name from the Emin River, which crosses the town and flows into Kazakhstan.

The page records that 892 years before it was written the place was called 也迷里 (Yemili), from which 额敏 (Emin) is translated, meaning 'pure and peaceful'. It describes Haihang grassland scenic area (海航草原风景区) as bright with flowers and lush green, called 'a pure land at the edge of the sky' and 'grassland above the clouds'.

No cited source uses the catalogue's exact name 额敏也迷里草原. The link between the catalogue's wording and the county is the page's statement that 额敏 derives from 也迷里; the grassland and flower sites the page names are Haihang grassland scenic area and Huatan ('flower carpet') town, which the page lists among the stops on a planned self-drive route of nearly seventy kilometres forming a loop with the G219.

What to look for

• Haihang grassland scenic area (海航草原风景区), described by the page as bright with flowers and lush green
