Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Yili, a shining pearl in Xinjiang, has become the first choice for countless horse riding enthusiasts with its unique natural scenery and rich horse riding experience.

Enjoy the grassland scenery: The grasslands of Yili are like green brocade, with wild flowers scattered like stars, contrasting with spruce forests and snow-capped mountains. The horses galloped on the rolling hills, overlooking the Koksu Grand Canyon, and the river meandering through the earth, showing its majestic grandeur.

Riding on the dreamy snowfield: In winter, Yili is covered in silver. Horses’ hooves tread on the snow, creating an ethereal rhythm. In the distance, smoke rises from the Kazakh yurts, creating an exotic atmosphere that makes you feel like you have entered a snowy fairy tale.

Complete safety guarantee: Most of the coaches in Yili are local Kazakh riders. They have been dependent on horses since childhood and are familiar with the temperament of horses. They patiently teach cold-proof techniques before riding, keep a close eye on the horses throughout the ride, and use their superb skills to ensure safety. The helmets and protective gear they are equipped with meet the standards of severe cold regions, and special personnel will assist in standard wearing. Let you move forward without fear.

Diverse supporting facilities: The Yili horse farm is equipped with dressing rooms, rest areas and dining areas,and serves special delicacies such as roasted whole lamb and mare's milk, where you can enjoy the flavor of Yili while feasting on them; there are also wonderful Kazakh equestrian performances regularly, with riders riding horses with vigorous postures and whipping them, and traditional horse-drawn sleighs to take you to enjoy the scenery and immerse yourself in the joy of Yili horse riding.

Without further ado, here's a travel guide to Yili, painstakingly compiled by a local, so save it! I. Must-Visit Attractions Sayram Lake: Known as "the last tear of the Atlantic," the lake's water is as blue as a gemstone, surrounded by picturesque scenery. Highly recommend visiting the RV camp, where you can lie in your vehicle and watch the starry sky, waking up to the sunrise – truly blissful. Huocheng Lavender Fields: China's "Provence," where lavender blooms every June and July, transforming the landscape into a sea of purple, incredibly romantic and perfect for photos. Any pose will turn out great. Kalajun Grassland: A truly three-dimensional grassland. Looking out from a high vantage point, the rolling grasslands resemble green waves, dotted with wildflowers, as if stepping into a Monet painting. Duku Highway: A scenic route open only for a few months each year, where you can experience the four seasons in a single day. From snow-capped mountains to forests, from grasslands to canyons, the scenery along the way is breathtaking. Qiongkushtai Village: A pristine Kazakh village with scattered wooden houses and cattle and sheep grazing leisurely on the grasslands. The tranquility and simplicity here will make you forget all your worries. Qasi Forest Park: A hidden gem, where forests, streams, and grasslands blend seamlessly. Hike through it, feel the breath of nature, and imagine yourself in a paradise. II. Food Recommendations Pilaf: One of Xinjiang's signature dishes, where the tenderness of lamb, the sweetness of carrots, and the rice combine perfectly for a super satisfying bite. Baked Buns: Freshly baked buns with a crispy crust and juicy filling, the aroma of lamb spreading in your mouth. You won't be able to stop at just one. Nang Pit Meat: Large chunks of lamb roasted in a nang pit, golden brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Pair it with a cup of local yogurt for the ultimate experience. Yili Horse Sausage: Made with horse meat and smoked for a unique flavor and chewy texture, it's a regular on locals' dining tables. Cold Noodles: Sour and spicy cold noodles are a summer favorite in Yili. Smooth and chewy, topped with shredded cucumber and chili oil, they're both appetizing and refreshing. III.

Travel Tips Yili has a large temperature difference between day and night, so remember to bring a thick jacket, especially if you're going to the mountains or grasslands, as it gets very cold at night. The UV rays are strong, so be sure to take sun protection measures. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential. Some attractions are at high altitudes, so be mindful of altitude sickness and avoid strenuous exercise. Respect local customs, especially in ethnic minority areas. Check the opening hours and ticket information for each attraction in advance to avoid delays. I hope this guide helps you have an unforgettable holiday in Yili and enjoy the beauty of nature!

Ili Ring Road, a complete guide suggests likes and collections

Ili Ring Road, a complete guide suggests likes and collections

Just back from Xinjiang, if you ask me where to recommend in Ili, Xinjiang during the holiday? I will definitely recommend you to Kuerdening. ⚠️Scenic self-driving route Kuerdening and Chashi are very close, both are the first green places in Ili, a large part of the scenery is overlapping, so you only need to go to one (it is strongly not recommended to visit two in one day, except for those who just take a quick look and leave). At present, you only need 30 tickets to drive into Kuerdening, which is very cost-effective, and it is closer to Gongliu County and Teks Bagua City, with beautiful scenery all the way on the cement road! Suggestion: If you drive to Kuerdening, you must go to the plank road of Qimende Viewing Platform. If you have enough physical strength, you must go to the end. As you walk down the plank road, you will first see the same scenery as the Alps in Picture 1⃣️'Heidi and Grandpa', then the spruce forest in Picture 2⃣️6⃣️, and then walk up to the viewing platform is a 360-degree unobstructed invincible view! It can be said without exaggeration that what you expect from Ili can be satisfied here. It is recommended to stay in Gongliu County at night, and navigate to Kuerdening Nature Reserve Zhonggou Checkpoint by self-driving the next day, which only takes one hour. ⚠️Note: At present, you can only drive from the visitor center to Qimende and the World Natural Heritage Exhibition Center through Zhonggou, and then return the same way.

Xinjiang | I thought Qiongkushitai was already beautiful enough until I came to Kurdai

Xinjiang | I thought Qiongkushitai was already beautiful enough until I came to Kurdai

Narat and Kalajun, two major 5A tourist attractions, have attracted countless visitors with their excellent reception capabilities and high-quality scenery. After 2021, Qiongkushitai has become a favorite among young people with its beautiful landscape. However, beyond these well-known destinations, there is another relatively niche but equally enchanting place, Kurdai. Kurdai, in Kazakh, means 'horizontal ditch'. When the footsteps of early summer quietly arrive, Kurdai welcomes its most beautiful moment. The green mountains, like an emerald barrier, embrace this magical land, and the winding rapids shuttle between the mountains, like a silver ribbon, connecting the mountains and waters, reflecting each other interestingly. The popularity of Kurdai is relatively low, which is also related to the scenic area being closed for many years due to environmental protection rectification. In 2022, the scenic area reopened and immediately became a new generation of niche secret realms. -

Xinjiang has a beauty called Kuerdening|This is a hiker's paradise

|This is a hiker's paradise.🌲 Xinjiang has a beauty called Kuerdening, which is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. If you are amazed by the beauty of Qiaxi and still immersed in it, unable to extricate yourself, then I suggest you visit Kuerdening. Speaking of Kuerdening, you might not have heard of it often, as it's not very famous, but Kuerdening has good roads, beautiful scenery, high cost-performance, and is suitable for self-driving. 🛖 The small cabin under the distant snow mountain, the towering Yengisar spruce, the emerald green alpine meadows, Kuerdening gives the first impression of a healing green as far as the eye can see.

Ili River Valley - Xinjiang's cattle-raising paradise

Ili River Valley - Xinjiang's cattle-raising paradise

On the vast land of Xinjiang, there is a magical land, that is, the Ili River Valley. The distinct four seasons, pleasant climate, natural and pollution-free environment here make the pasture here of excellent quality and diverse types, becoming the most suitable place for cattle raising in Xinjiang. The Ili River Valley is located in the northwest of Xinjiang, a narrow strip in the Tianshan Mountains. The flat terrain, fertile soil, and abundant water resources here make it one of the most important agricultural areas in Xinjiang. However, what is even more amazing is that the rich and high-quality pasture resources here provide unique conditions for the cattle industry. The types of pasture in the Ili River Valley are diverse, including alfalfa, sheep grass, oats, barley and other high-quality pastures. These pastures not only have high nutritional value, but also contain rich proteins, minerals and vitamins, which play a very important role in the growth and development of cattle. Moreover, these pastures have a long growth cycle and high yield, which can fully meet the needs of large-scale cattle raising. What's more, the environment of the Ili River Valley is primitive and natural, far away from the hustle and bustle. The air here is fresh, the water source is pure, and there is almost no industrial pollution and pesticide residues. Such an environment makes the pasture in the Ili River Valley not need any chemical fertilizers to maintain its original freshness and nutrition. This is undoubtedly the biggest advantage for the cattle industry. Because only the most natural and purest food can raise the healthiest cattle, produce the most delicious meat, and squeeze the most nutritious milk. In addition, the climate conditions of the Ili River Valley are also very suitable for cattle raising. The four seasons here are distinct, and spring, summer, autumn and winter each have their own characteristics. The abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall, lush and delicious pastures. Such climatic conditions make the cattle in the Ili River Valley eat fresh and high-quality pastures all year round. The Ili River Valley, with its natural and pollution-free environment, high-quality and diverse pastures, and pure and abundant water sources, has become the most suitable place for cattle raising in Xinjiang. The beef here is not only a delicacy in Xinjiang, but also the pride of Xinjiang. The milk here is not only famous nationwide, but also loved by consumers. On the vast Ili grassland, herds of cattle freely walk, rest, drink water, and eat grass without any restraint.

I thought Nalati was already beautiful, until I went to Kuerdening

I thought Nalati was already beautiful, until I went to Kuerdening

If you ask me whether to choose Nalati or Kuerdening for a trip to Yili, Xinjiang during the May Day holiday, I can only tell you that it's a tough choice, because I find both places nice. Kuerdening is a small but exquisite beauty, and during this time, it's really beautiful. Kuerdening means 'horizontal ditch' in Kazakh, and it's a niche attraction in Xinjiang that has become popular in the last two years. I did some research online before and discovered its advantages 'few people, suitable for self-driving' plus the online pictures were very tempting! So I set off, and I really don't regret it. 📍 Navigation location: Kuerdening Zhonggou Ticket Check Currently, the West Gou and East Gou are closed, and you can only visit Kuerdening Zhonggou. After driving to the scenic area, follow the wooden plank road for a light hike. Zhonggou is at a low altitude, with streams, and the scenic spot is on the opposite side of the river in the forward direction, with parking spaces and a cable bridge to cross, suitable for wild dining and camping. There are also many beautiful sceneries along the way, and of course, hiking is tiring, but it's all worth it. I really like one of the spots here, the Qimengde Observation Deck. This is the highest observation deck in Kuerdening. Walking up along the wooden plank road, you can see the same kind of little wooden house as in the movie 'Heidi and Grandfather', and because I really like this movie, I feel it's really worth it. Note: Currently, you cannot drive to Qimengde. You can only park at the 'Kafeng Campsite' parking lot at the intersection of Zhonggou and Donggou, and then walk or ride a horse in. The road should be repaired soon. If anyone knows any updates, please let me know. The entrance fee is 30 yuan per person, no other fees are required when driving in, and the indoor parking is free. Horse riding is also available, 80 yuan for 1 hour of fun. The opening hours are from 9 am to 7 pm, so pay attention if you're planning to go. You can also refer to my route Ten-Mile Gallery—Bee Fragrance Station—Kafeng Base Camp—Qimengde Observation Deck—Ayusai Observation Deck—King of Spruce—Cloud-top Grassland Pay attention to the following 1. There are many places on the mountain without signal, so it's better to download an offline map in advance. 2. Prepare food and water in advance, so you can replenish energy if you get hungry on the mountain. 3. There are no hotels in the scenic area, but there are camping and wooden houses, felt tents of the herdsmen, and you can also stay in Kuerdening town, so there are more choices. 4. It is recommended to go here either in the morning or after 7 pm for better light and shadow, which is key for good photos. If you go at noon, the sun is very strong, and the photos taken with a mobile phone are gray and not very good.

It's not that you can't afford to go to Hemu, Xinjiang

It's not that you can't afford to go to Hemu, Xinjiang

but that Qiaxi, Yili is more cost-effective❤️ When people think of Yili, they often think of its charming summer scenery, but in fact, Yili in winter also has breathtaking scenery. The snow-covered landscape and the evergreen spruce forest complement each other, and its beauty is no less than that of Hemu. In winter, the cost of flights and accommodation to Hemu often rises, while Yili, also located in northern Xinjiang, offers a more affordable option. ✈️: You can fly directly from Chengdu to Yining. 📍: We recommend you visit Qiaxi Forest Park. 🎫: During the off-season, the park is open for free, and you can even drive in.
