A city without traffic lights | The Gossip City of Tekes

| The Gossip City of Tekes. Tekes County, a shining pearl of Xinjiang, is famous all over the world for its unique Bagua layout. Since 1996, the roads here have been free from the constraints of traffic lights, making the Bagua City a unique city without traffic lights. Legend has it that the creator of this Bagua City was Qiu Chuji, one of the Seven True Taoists of the Southern Song Dynasty. In those years, Qiu Chuji, the immortal of Changchun, was invited by Genghis Khan to travel westward. Passing through the Tekes River Valley, he was moved by the beauty of the land's mountains and rivers, and thus constructed the city in the shape of the Bagua. The Bagua City is radially circular in shape, with a street layout that is intricate and complex like a maze, yet every road is interconnected, and every street is linked, resembling a vivid painting. In this city, you can not only experience the rich folk customs but also appreciate the profound historical culture and the beautiful natural scenery. Every corner, every scene, is full of stories and charm, waiting for you to discover and experience.
