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.

Sorrow丶星尘In 2025, the Yizhao Highway was opened very early. On May 15, the whole line was opened. We drove to Zhaosu on the 16th. The scenery was very beautiful. There were also many parking spots on the road to take pictures. There were many detours and climbs, but it was not difficult to open as long as you were careful.

龙翔Entering from the Tianma Cultural Park, you can watch equestrian performances, sheep-grabbing competitions, and the feeding of Arabian horses, and then go to see the Tianma Bathing River in the Wetland Park. Tickets for the Tianma Bathing River are not required, but you need to choose a good angle for the Tianma Bathing River. It is recommended to go and see it.

小李带您游新疆An underrated tourist attraction. When people mention Zhaosu, many think of Xiatu, but Zhaosu Wetland Park has the Tekes River, Ili horses, and grasslands. You can also see horses bathing in the river and witness Kazakh love stories (girls chasing each other on horseback), etc.!

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.

M46***89Walking through the snow-capped spruces of Kurdenin, the air is filled with the coolness of the vegetation. A stream sings at the valley floor, and sunlight filters through the dense forest, casting tiny specks of light. Standing high and gazing out into the distance, the endless snow-capped mountains are set against a sea of dark green forest. In that moment, the world becomes tranquil, and time seems to slow down. This untouched, pristine beauty offers the most gentle healing to those who have lived in the city for so long.

M35***05Yuhu Lake is surprisingly beautiful, but also relatively secluded, so it's not a busy place for self-driving cars. Many areas within the scenic area are still under development, which slightly impacts the scenery. The scenic area's observation deck is a bit small, with only a few cars parked, which can easily lead to traffic.

- 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.

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.
