Bon AppetitSayram Lake is absolutely stunning! The weather was perfect the day we went; the sunlight bathed the yellow meadows in a golden glow, and with the distant snow-capped mountains and the azure waters of Sayram Lake, every corner was a picture-perfect spot. Tickets are valid for 24 hours. We entered the scenic area in the morning and drove clockwise around the lake, stopping frequently to take photos. The further we went in, the fewer people there were. We left the scenic area in the afternoon, had dinner, and then drove counter-clockwise back to the lake before sunset to capture the sunset.

枫原没有万叶2. Sailimu Lake Dianjiangtai (Rating 5.4, Free) The nostalgic landmark where Genghis Khan was said to have inspected his troops: • Highlights: Standing on the high platform and overlooking, the magnificent Sailimu Lake and the vast grassland are in the same frame. The lake breeze seems to be able to trace back to the wars of thousands of years ago. The view is excellent and free, suitable for history fans or taking panoramic photos. • Shortcomings: Pure original ecological viewing platform, no supporting facilities (even no clear signs), it is recommended to drive and check in (with a trip around the lake), and it is not cost-effective to go alone. → Suitable for: Tourists who are obsessed with "history + vision" and need to bring their own imagination to check in.

云卷云舒GExit from the south gate of Sailimu Lake and take the county road to enter the first scenic spot of Yili, "Guozigou Bridge". After the driver and guide park, walk down the wooden plank road to enjoy the scenery of Guozigou Bridge from a relatively close distance. [Scenery] Looking around, the white cable-stayed Guozigou Bridge spans the entire canyon. On the gray-green rolling mountains in the distance, there are straight spruce trees everywhere, and there are light green lawns in the near distance, plus blue sky and white clouds, colorful and layered. [Fun] Although you can walk up and down the wooden plank road smoothly, take photos from different angles. There are also many horseback riding tourists here, enjoying the fun of riding fast or slow. There are also many people walking on the lawn to enjoy the beauty here. The cost-effectiveness brought by nature is still very high.

hop***y5I personally think that this is the most comfortable place to soak in hot springs in the country, with the most complete and clean supporting facilities and the most beautiful scenery, except for Tengchong! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best hot spring scenery in the country. The best time to take pictures is around 10 o'clock in the evening. Natural hot springs, beautiful environment, and clean venues. The service is also very good. The manager lady is also a very loving person. I will take time to come again next winter. It is also a place suitable for a daze and living.

冯JQOn the way to Yili, I passed by the Yiparhan Lavender Garden. I saw the AAAA sign and went to see it. The lavender garden is quite large, the flowers are in full bloom, and there are photo-taking scenes in the fields. The check-in photos are very attractive.

M47***16The sea of flowers in Tianshan is a palette kissed by the wind - lavender spreads into purple mist, rapeseed spreads like a golden carpet, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are the white space that has not dried yet. You can ride a horse in the flower path, watch the shadows of clouds passing over the tips of the flowers, and even the air is soaked with sweetness.

- 铮宝麻麻Strolling along Yining's Liuxing Street, sunlight bathes the streets in an exotic atmosphere. Century-old alleys wind like poems, their blue walls and stained glass windows telling the story of time. Uyghur artisans strike bronze instruments, their clinking echoing through time. The aroma of baked buns fills the street corners, and the rhythm of hand drums awakens the dormant bricks and tiles. Every tile here is engraved with a story, and behind every carved wooden door lies a warm smile. The hexagonal streets and alleys, like blooming flowers, quietly embrace diverse cultures.

三千夺命销魂鸭The tourism industry in Fushou Mountain seems to be very depressed now, and not many people go in. When I went there, I felt like I had the whole place to myself, the entire mountain. The scenery on the top of the mountain is nice, and there is a swing that is very suitable for checking in, and you can take pictures with that boundless feeling.

天边06Huiyuan Ancient City is a historic town in Yili, Xinjiang. Once the seat of the "Yili General's Mansion," the Qing Dynasty's governing authority over Xinjiang, it's a perfect destination for travelers interested in history and culture. Here are its highlights and things to note: 🏛️ Things to Experience: 1. A Rich Sense of History: The core attraction, the "Yili General's Mansion," is well-preserved. The blue-brick official residence and ancient trees in the courtyard evoke the majesty of the former frontier military and political center, making it a perfect place for a leisurely stroll and perusing the historical landscape. 2. Visit the Bell Tower: The bell tower in the center of the ancient city is a reconstruction, offering panoramic views of the old city and excellent photo opportunities. 3. An Atmosphere of Ethnic Blend: The surrounding streets reflect a diverse culture, with Uyghur and Han residents living together, and local snack vendors offer distinctive local flavors. ⚠️ Things to Note: · Moderate your expectations: The area is small, some buildings are modern reconstructions, and the original historical sites are limited. If you prefer natural scenery or bustling tourist destinations, it might feel monotonous. Transportation: You'll need to drive or charter a car to get there, as public transportation is inconvenient. We recommend combining this with a visit to surrounding attractions like Huocheng Lavender Farm and Princess Jieyou Farm. Low Commercialization: Difficult dining and shopping options are limited, so bring your own drinks and snacks. 📌 Summary: This is a suitable "cultural supplement" stop on a loop itinerary around Ili. A 1-2 hour stay is sufficient. History buffs will appreciate this, but casual travelers can plan their itinerary flexibly based on their availability.
