Kekedala, meaning "green field" in Kazakh. The grassland has flat terrain, high-quality grass, and lush, knee-high greenery. Herds of horses, cattle, and sheep roam the fields, allowing visitors to witness the magnificent landscape described as "the sky is vast, the wilderness boundless; when the wind blows, the grass bends low and reveals cattle and sheep." In 1959, the August First Film Studio shot the movie "Green Field" here. The film’s insert song "Grassland Night," with lyrics by Zhang Jiayi and music by Tian Ge, later became world-famous and was hailed as the "Oriental Serenade." As a result, Kekedala Grassland gained renown both domestically and internationally, attracting a continuous stream of visitors every year. Within the Kekedala Grassland Night Folk Garden, there are attractions such as the "Grassland Night Memorial Hall," the "Almalik Ancient City · Genghis Khan’s Western Expedition Exhibition Hall," the First Kazakh Yurt in China, the Great Khan’s Many Tents, and a group of grassland stone statues and rock paintings.
