Excavated objects and a cultural park
Yemili Ancient City Ruins (也迷里古城遗址) lie in the eastern part of the county. The exhibition hall displays nearly a hundred excavated objects in about seven categories, including stone, wooden, bronze and jade artefacts. Yemili Cultural Park (也迷里文化园), next to the hall, was completed in 2023.
Flowers, yurts and valley views
At Haihang Grassland, in Kalayemule Town (喀拉也木勒镇), summer flowers bloom among the grasses. Views extend across distant mountains and river valleys, with cattle and sheep on the grassland. The town has developed the Damei Valley (大美谷地) and Sky Flower Fields (空中花海) viewing areas, with eighteen yurts, resting pavilions and observation platforms. The Wild Fruit Forest Scenic Area (野果林景区) combines streams, grassland and woodland, with waterfalls and unusually shaped rocks and trees.
