When is the best time to travel to Yili?

Yili is one of the most famous areas in Xinjiang, where there are unique scenic spots, and different landscape pictures will appear every spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, due to the influence of geography and climate, Yili is recognized by most people as the most beautiful time. So when is the best time to travel to Yili?

Yili, is that Yili milk? Ha ha! First correct a mistake: Yili is not Yili. It can be said that Xinjiang is really big and rich in mountains and rivers, and the scenery inside will definitely exceed the scenery you remember. I believe that once is not enough. Pony has been to Xinjiang twice, once in southern Xinjiang and once in northern Xinjiang. My personal favorites are Yili and Kashgar.

Yili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, one of the five autonomous prefectures in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is located in Yining City. China is the only autonomous prefecture that manages both prefecture-level and county-level administrative regions. It is located in the Ili Valley in the western Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The main tourist destinations are Chaxi, Tamboura, Nalati and other grassland folk tourist areas. Cultural relics include the ancient city of Saudi Arabia, the ancient city of Usun in Bandai Dun, the Gordon Monument, grassland rock paintings and so on. As for the last food, roast whole sheep, mutton kebabs, saute spicy chicken, big belly, pepper chicken, cold rice noodles, nangkeng meat, steamed stuffed bun, yellow noodle barbecue, Brzin grilled fish, Xibo pie and so on. They are all Xinjiang specialties, which are very good.

Although Kashgar's cultural scenery is great, its natural scenery is slightly inferior, while Yili is different, with rich cultural customs and top natural scenery.

1. When is the best time to travel to Yili?

If you want to enjoy the natural scenery, you must come here from June to August. After all, this is the most beautiful season in Yili. Lavender can be seen at this time, and the grassland is also the most beautiful time. All kinds of flowers are in full bloom, which can satisfy your best imagination of Xinjiang scenery.

If you just want to come here to enjoy the cultural scenery, it is very suitable to come to Yili all year round. Although it is called Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, there are more than 13 ethnic groups living here. These ethnic groups have their own different languages, writing and living habits, so you can experience many unique cultural customs.

Of course, Yili in June 65438+ 10 and 165438+ 10 is still beautiful. Why do you recommend traveling here in autumn?

First, the temperature is suitable. In autumn in Xinjiang, the sky is high and the clouds are light, cool and dry. There are few bad weather like sandstorms.

2: October is Xinjiang, including Yining District, Yili Prefecture, northern Xinjiang. All kinds of fresh fruits and dried fruits are ripe. Here, you can not only taste raisins and cantaloupes, but also have the opportunity to taste almonds here, which are delicious.

Third, we can appreciate the customs of ethnic minorities. Yining, Yili Prefecture in northern Xinjiang, is the capital of Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, inhabited by ethnic minorities such as Kazak, Uygur and Kirgiz. Listen: Dong accompanied Erdaohezi, the first snow in 2002 and many other pieces of music with Xinjiang folk songs.

Fourthly, there are many mysterious tourist attractions in Yining, Yili, northern Xinjiang. Such as: Little Hong Na Shihai people. I didn't know how big China was until I arrived in Xinjiang, and I didn't know the beauty of Xinjiang until I arrived in Yili. Yili has unique scenic spots, historical relics and historic sites, and colorful multi-ethnic cultural landscapes. Kanas Lake, a famous scenic spot in China, has the characteristics of Swiss scenery. Brunto beach is full of water and sky, and the scenery is pleasant. Sailimu Lake, Guozigou, Nalati and Tianshan Mountain in Tamboura are rich in scenery. The ancient Silk Road runs through the whole state, leaving rich and precious cultural relics.

Second, a brief introduction to Ili tourism

Yili is located in the northwest of Xinjiang, bordering Kazakhstan in the west. It is located in the Ili Valley at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain in western Xinjiang, and is called "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall". In the Qing Dynasty, it was regarded as the economic and military center of Xinjiang. Many generals are stationed here and the natural conditions here are not bad in Xinjiang. So, if you made a mistake and were sent to Yili at that time, it would be a good future. From this point of view, Yili has been a land rich in sugar cane since ancient times.

However, in spite of this, in Ma Xiao's view, what I yearn for most in Yili is the endless grassland customs. Of course, there are flowers everywhere, and lavender is the most distinctive.

3. What are the places worth visiting in Yili tourism?

First of all, Pony selected the places worth visiting in Yili according to his own experience. Some potholes or places not worth going to are not recommended by Pony. (Some regular scenic spots are recommended completely according to personal wishes, which may be different from your preferences and are for reference only)

The most recommended scenic spots in Yili

Recommended index: four stars-four and a half stars

Seilam L.

Pony recommended reason:

Although Sailimu Lake actually belongs to Bole, in most people's minds, it is a must-see place to go to Yili. It can be said that this is one of the three most beautiful lakes in China that I have ever seen. The whole scale is almost smaller than Qinghai Lake, but it is better to be smaller. Tourists are not as crowded as Heima River and Erlangjian in Qinghai Lake, which is recommended by individuals.

The best season of Lake Limu:

Personally, June is the most beautiful season in Sailimu Lake. From morning till night, the golden lotus, dandelion and wild flowers on the side of Sailimu Lake will bloom one after another. July-August can be regarded as the second tourist season of Sailimu Lake. In other seasons, Sailimu Lake is generally covered with snow and ice, especially from June 165438+ 10 to March of the following year.

Kajun grassland

Pony recommended reason:

Many people say, "I didn't know what vastness was until Karajun." I believe everyone knows that Hulunbeier's prairie is endless and flat, but Harqin at the foot of Tianshan Mountain is completely different. The undulating grassland is full of wild flowers in midsummer, which is more colorful than Hulunbeier.

Pony game recommendation:

The popular way to play is to take the sightseeing bus from the scenic spot to the Flower Terrace, but personally, the most suitable way is to walk from Joan Kush Terrace to Karajun, which takes about 8 hours. You can also ride from Joan Kushitai village to Karajun, which takes about 5 hours. Although it takes a long time, the forests, lakes, snow-capped mountains, grasslands and the life of Kazakh herders along the way will definitely make you experience different scenery and customs.

Carl Joan's Best Season:

June-July-August is the most beautiful season to come here, especially in early June. Secondly, the scenery at other times is average, but if you experience cultural customs, it is suitable all year round.

bayinbuluke

Pony recommended reason:

It doesn't belong to Yili either, but most of them still choose to go to Yili. Generally, they put his trip after Nalati, take a section of Duku Highway, and then reach Bayinbuluke Prairie. It can be said that this grassland is much bigger than Harqin, and the whole scenery is a bit like Hulunbeier, but it is characterized by nine bends and eighteen bends.

The best season in Bayinbuluke:

Bayinbuluke belongs to the alpine grassland, and you can only see the green grassland in July and August a year. Other seasons are yellow, so July to August is the most beautiful. Of course, the middle and late June is also very good.

Recommended scenic spots in Yili

Kazanci

Perhaps this is the most amazing scenic spot I met in Yili City. It is not so much a scenic spot as a place where people live in the city. Here, you can see the customs of the Uighurs. For example, you can taste the rich flavor of Xinjiang, and you can also see many traditional handicrafts and jewelry stores. Of course, you can also enjoy the local life here.

There is also the same type of Six Star Street, which is also a recommended scenic spot in the urban area.

Guozigou bridge

Pony recommended reason:

This is the only place from Yining to Sailimu Lake, and it is also one of the most wonderful scenic spots. This steel truss cable-stayed bridge with twin towers and double cable planes spans the valley and is spectacular.

The best season of Guozigou Bridge:

June-August is the best, because at this time, the fruit ditch is full of green and lush scenery, and the background of the whole bridge looks very gorgeous.

You can also pay attention to the recommended attractions: Princess Yujie Lavender Paradise, Horgos Port, Zhaosu Grassland, Nalati Grassland, etc.

Fourth, how to plan the tourist route of Yili?

It takes at least 5 days to complete the route of most scenic spots in Yili. If you have enough time, you can have fun in Karajun.

According to Pony's own trip to Ili, the scenic spots here are sorted according to his own preferences as follows:

Ku Highway Bayinbuluke Karajun Sailimu Lake Nalatika Shanchi Gogol Bridge Horgos Port Princess You Jie Lavender Paradise

Day 1: Liuxing Street and Khan Street in Harqin Banner

On this day, we mainly punch in the scenic spots in the urban area of Yili, so that you can experience the rich ethnic customs of Yili.

In the morning, you can go to Harqin Banner and enjoy the ethnic customs here. After shopping, you can go to Hanren Street to eat local snacks, focusing on noodles, steamed buns, hand-grabbed rice, Xibo cakes, yogurt and so on. After visiting Han Street, you can also go to Liuxing Street to continue to experience ethnic customs.

The next day: Princess Lavender at Horgos Port, Sailimu Lake, Guozigou.

It is suggested that individuals choose to sign up for a one-day tour, which can save time and money better. Generally, the cost of a one-day tour is around 150 yuan, and sometimes it is lower. Generally, the trip starts at eight o'clock in the morning, and you can enjoy Sailimu Lake in Guozigou in the morning. After that, you should pack a lunch. In the afternoon, I visited Princess Gerawinde at Horgos Port, and usually arrived in the city around 6 pm.

Day 3: One-day tour of Karajun grassland

You can choose to sign up for a one-day tour, or you can carpool and choose the Karajun one-day tour route. Generally, it starts at seven or eight in the morning and arrives at the scenic spot in three hours. Then you will enjoy something, Karajun. You can experience horse riding and other projects in the scenic spot, but you have to pay extra. Personally, I feel average. Just choose according to your own preferences. Arrive in the city center around 9 pm.

Day 4-5; Nalatiduku Highway in Bayinbuluke Grassland

To save time, the best way is to choose carpooling. It takes two days to visit these places, and you can focus on the scenery along Bayinbuluke Prairie and Duku Highway.

Matters needing attention

I suggest you choose a day trip or carpooling when you are in Ili, because, like traveling in Xinjiang, the traffic in many scenic spots in Ili is inconvenient, and if you want to save time and money because of the long distance, you should ride a pony. Of course, if you can drive by car, it is also a very good choice.

From 20 10 to 20 10, there are many kinds of food in Yili, most of which have strong Xinjiang flavor. Focus can be placed on fried shredded pork noodles, shredded pork noodles with lung slices, roasted buns, saute spicy chicken, milk tea, Xibo pie, Na Ren, finger food, Na Ren, lasagna, pepper chicken, ground meat noodles and nang.

The temperature in Yili is much cooler than that in other places, so you should take your coat even when you come here in summer.
