Going to Yili is definitely not just about enjoying flowers. There are many scenic spots to see here. In addition, there are many scenic spots to see. When you go to Yili, you can taste the local food. I suggest you go to a place where flowers are in full bloom, then you can see more beautiful scenery.

Optimal travel time

The tourist season in Yili begins in April and ends at 10. The peak period is from May to August. May and June are the seasons when wild flowers and lavender bloom. From July to August, melons and fruits are fragrant and delicious food can be tasted everywhere, but the flowers on the grassland began to disappear in August.

From September, valleys and forests enter autumn. People who like hiking should catch up with this safer season. After 10, Yili entered the winter. Although many scenic spots and hotels are closed, it is fun to enjoy the snow alone.

Although Ili was covered with snow and ice in April, the apricot flowers here have bloomed in the cold valley, welcoming the flower season for half a year.

The spring in May is the peak season for safflower blooming in Tianshan Mountain, which lasts until the end of June and the beginning of summer. It is also the most spectacular season of lavender in the valley, hence the name "Provence, China".

Not just Provence, China. After July, under the snow line in Tianshan Mountain, rape, perilla and wild flowers are everywhere in Tekes Valley. In vineyards and watermelon fields around the valley, you can also see dazzling sunflowers.

What does Ili eat

Yining, the capital of Yili, is a place that people can't stop. The dishes of Uygur and Hui people are mouth-watering. You can choose to go to Hanren Street, where there are all kinds of snacks and delicious food, such as barbecue, pilaf, cold noodles, noodles, noodles, toast and so on. The taste is not particularly strong, but it is better than the whole. When it comes to specialty restaurants and snacks, you should still go to Jiefang South Road, south of Baitullah Mosque, where you can think of all kinds of Uygur food.

From luxuriously decorated hotels to steamed stuffed bun shops, ice cream shops, noodle shops, barbecue shops, pigeon soup shops and modern hamburger shops, there are also Turkish-style modern hamburger shops and western food shops, and some even open 24 hours a day. There are also many elegant Uighur restaurants in Harqin Banner and Liuxing Street. Many people go in to order noodles and juice, usually at reasonable prices.

In early spring, people were awakened by the apricot flowers in Yili. Apricot blossoms bloom in the cold valley, welcoming Yili's half-year flowering period. Over time, wild apricot flowers will blossom everywhere. From Hami and Shanshan to Korla, Kuqa to Yining and Kashgar, you can see a sea of apricot flowers like clouds.

In the hometown of Kazak people near Nalati grassland, there is a huge wild apricot forest in Class 4 of Tulgen Township, Xinyuan, which has become the new favorite of photographers in recent years. Apricot flowers usually bloom around April 20.

It is worth noting that the blooming apricot flowers are not the most beautiful. When it is in bud, the pink flower and the white flower set each other off into a dream. The best shooting time is around 8: 00 Beijing time, one and a half hours after sunrise.

Red flowers in the mountains in May

The spring of apricot blossoms can't wait, and the blooming of Tianshan safflower means that the warm summer in Tianshan is officially coming. As long as there is plenty of spring rain, we can see Tianshan safflower in May and June in Daxigou Township and Salbulak Town of Huocheng County in the east, Yuzi Township and Awulia Township of Moluo Tohti in Yining County, Musi Township of Nilek County and Zeketai Town of xinyuan county.

Interestingly, as early as the 1960s, the scenic spot was put on camera by filmmakers and reported by the masses as "a large number of poppies were planted in Xinjiang". After collecting samples, researchers from Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences found that safflower is indeed a wild relative of poppy-black poppy, but it does not contain morphine toxin.

June Ili Lavender

After the red flower season in Tianshan Mountain, the contestants who took over Ili became artificially planted lavender. If you just want to look around, don't take it too seriously. If you go to Horgos Port or Chaxian County in June, you will often see lavender fields on the roadside.

As early as 1964, Xinjiang introduced three lavender varieties from Provence, France for trial planting. The planting area has not expanded for decades. With the development of tourism, lavender has become one of the main "ecological products" in Yili.

On the way to Horgos Port, you can stop by the grain depot of the 65th regiment, where the lavender fields are the best in Qingshui River. But if you just want to shoot people, those toll parks are more suitable for tourists.

Compared with the lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Sailimu Lake has clear water and sky blue, rich aquatic plants and lush trees. Sleeping in Mongolian herdsmen's yurts or Kazakh herdsmen's yurts seems to be an indispensable ceremony, so that you won't miss the West Sea grassland at sunset and the swans roaming in the swamp before sunrise.

Summer canyon

Summer canyons may be the best hiking route in Central Asia. Flowers bloom on the soft grass paved with pine needles. You can choose to ride a horse or walk to the huge glacier under the Khan Tengger Peak. If you have better foot strength and experience, follow the tour guide and a horse across the vast Tianshan Mountains to the edge of Taklimakan, it will be a replica of a trip two thousand years ago.

Life in no other place is closer to Tianshan Mountain than here.
