Barluk Mountains
巴尔鲁克山
Border mountains in southern Yumin County. Wild almond blossoms and wild tulips cover the hillsides in spring, and high pastures lie beyond in summer.
The Barluk Mountains stretch across southern Yumin County along the China–Kazakhstan border. The mountains are home to Schrenk spruce, Xinjiang wild apple and wild almond groves. Wild almond is a nationally protected plant, and the area includes the Barluk Mountains National Nature Reserve. Around late April each year, the wild almonds bloom white across the slopes, making it Tacheng’s most famous flower season. In summer, mountain grasslands and Kazakh herders’ felt yurts dot the landscape. The mountains are about 120 km from Tacheng city and require a car. Entry to the reserve and border areas requires following the management rules and carrying your ID.
