Easy trails through layered chalk hills and ancient lava outcrops, with broad desert views and clear geology on show.
A 150-meter sand ridge where you can listen for the dune’s low hum and look out over the Ili River valley and steppe.
Overnight in the park: camp beneath the old willow or stay in a cozy guesthouse—good for starry skies, early light, and quiet mornings.
