Why is Yili, Xinjiang called Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall?

Located in Tianshan Mountain? Cracks? Exclusive? Xanadu

The beautiful Ili Valley is located in Tianshan Mountain? Between the cracks? In fact, the cracks in Tianshan Mountain are very wide, and the width from north to south is trumpet-shaped from east to west, which is getting wider and wider. Why is it called here Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall? ? Only those who have been there can understand the reason.

The Ili Valley is named after the Ili River, which is a famous inland river. It nourishes millions of people in the Ili Valley and half of Kazakhstan. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a great mother river.

Ili Valley is the region with the richest precipitation and the highest vegetation coverage in Xinjiang. Due to the rivers such as Yili River and Kashi River, which are moistened by the melting water of Tianshan Mountain, and the supply of Atlantic airflow, Xinjiang is the least water-deficient place.

And far away from the desert, there are almost no sandstorms all year round, so compared with southern Xinjiang, Yili has fresh air and natural environmental advantages compared with other areas in northern Xinjiang. Therefore, the Ili Valley is unique, which is different from the Gobi customs in northern Xinjiang and does not belong to the desert oasis in southern Xinjiang. More like Tao Yuanming's paradise.

I go to Xinghua Village in spring, but Yining is beautiful.

With the news of spring flowers spreading all over the country, Xinjiang is unwilling to be lonely. Who said that the spring breeze is only the Yumenguan Pass, and the spring in the Ili Valley comes earlier than many cold areas in the mainland? There are few winter jasmine flowers here, and apricot flowers are everywhere. Yining County, known as the hometown of apricot trees in China, is the earliest place to hold the apricot blossom festival in northern Xinjiang. For a time, tourists swarmed in, and hundreds of thousands of people flocked to this small county. Among them, there are many road trip fans who came from Urumqi and Shihezi thousands of miles away.

Although there are many places where apricot blossoms bloom, including Turken, Daxigou and Xinghua Valley, the apricot blossoms in Yining County bloom early and develop vigorously. It can be said that it has taken advantage of it. Therefore, the annual apricot blossom festival brings a lot of tourism income to the local area. I personally went to the 9th Apricot Blossom Festival, which was my first time. It feels really beautiful, and the scene is lively, with a dreamlike feeling. Apricot trees are almost decades old and have beautiful shapes.

Apricot blossoms smell delicious.

It is not uncommon to see large tracts of apricot flowers in the Ili Valley in spring. Because this land itself is an ocean of flowers. However, what attracts tourists most is the colorful food at the apricot blossom festival. Unfortunately, I went to Xianghe Apricot Garden, the venue of Apricot Festival, instead of the food street in People's Square. It is said that many people don't go for apricot flowers, but want to taste authentic Xinjiang cuisine. After all, people eat food for the sky, and everyone knows the world of eating goods.

Because I didn't go either, I ate mutton kebabs and cold rice noodles in Xianghe Xingyuan and drank kawas unique to Xinjiang. It's really good, too Since it is a trip, we should eat, drink and be merry, so that our body and soul are on the road. ?

Beauty lies beyond the Great Wall, and it happens to be in Xinglin.

There are three or four lighting stages in the Apricot Blossom Festival. One is the main venue, and the opening ceremony is held on that stage. In addition, there are wedding theme and children's theme stage, and the wonderful performances are dazzling. Xinjiang beauties dressed in national costumes performing in the apricot garden have become a beautiful scenery. Many people stopped to watch and lost track of time.

Even the volunteers are young and beautiful women, smiling, gentle and elegant. Let tourists experience the intimate service and leave us the best memories. It is said that there were crazy electronic syllables in the evening, but we didn't go because it was too far from the venue. But as a singing and dancing Xinjiang, the atmosphere at the scene can be imagined.
