When is the best time to travel to Yili?

Yili is one of the most famous areas in Xinjiang, where there are very personalized scenic spots. Every spring, summer, autumn and winter, there will be different landscape pictures. However, due to the influence of geography, landform 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 this Yili milk? Ha ha! First of all, correct a mistake. Yili is not Yili. It can be said that Xinjiang is really big and rich in scenery and landforms. The scenery will definitely surpass the scenery you remember. I'm sure you can't read enough at once. 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 is one of the five autonomous prefectures in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and its resident is Yining City. It is the only autonomous prefecture in China that manages both prefecture-level and county-level administrative regions. It is located in the Ili Valley in the northern Tianshan Mountains in the west 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 Xiate, the ancient city of Wusun in Bandai Dun, the Gordon Monument, the grassland rock paintings and so on. Finally, about food, roast whole sheep, kebabs, saute spicy chicken, big belly, pepper chicken, cold rice noodles, pit meat, steamed stuffed bun, yellow noodle barbecue, Brzin grilled fish, Xibo pie and so on are all special foods in Xinjiang.

Although Kashgar has excellent cultural scenery, 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 and grassland can be seen at this time, which is also the most beautiful time. There are all kinds of flowers here, 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 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, 10, 1 1 Ili in autumn is still very beautiful. Why do you recommend traveling here in autumn?

No.65438 +0: The temperature is suitable. In Xinjiang in autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, cool and dry. There are few bad weather disturbances like sandstorms.

Second, the autumn 10 is also the time when all kinds of fresh fruits and dried fruits in Xinjiang, including Yining District, Yili Prefecture, northern Xinjiang, mature. Here, you can not only taste raisins and cantaloupes, but also have the opportunity to taste almonds here, which are delicious.

Third: you can appreciate the customs of ethnic minorities. Yining is the capital of Kazak Autonomous Prefecture in northern Xinjiang, inhabited by ethnic minorities including Kazak, Uygur and Kirgiz. I heard that there are many songs with Xinjiang folk songs, such as Erdaohezi in winter and the first snow in 2002.

Fourth: There are many tourist attractions in Yining, Yili, northern Xinjiang, which are very mysterious. Such as: people Xiao, etc. I don't know the size of China until Xinjiang, and I don't know the beauty of Xinjiang until 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 Swiss scenery characteristics. 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 scenic features. The ancient Silk Road traversed the whole state, leaving behind rich and precious cultural relics.

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

But aside from these, in Ma Xiao's view, what I yearn for most in Yili is the endless grassland customs. Of course, there is no shortage of flowers all over the mountain, among which lavender is the most distinctive.

3. What are the places worth visiting in Yili tourism? First of all, according to his own experience, Pony screened the places worth visiting in Yili, and some places not worth visiting were not recommended by Pony. Some formal scenic spots are recommended completely according to your own 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

Selam L.

Pony recommended reason:

Although Sailimu Lake actually belongs to Bole, in most people's minds, it is a must-see place to Ili. It can be said that this is one of the three most beautiful lakes in China that I have ever seen. The overall scale is a little worse than that of Qinghai Lake, but the advantage is that it is smaller and tourists are not as crowded as the Heima River and Erlangjian in Qinghai Lake, so I strongly recommend it.

The best season in Sailimu Lake:

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

Kalajun grassland

Pony recommended reason:

Many people say that "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 all kinds of wild flowers in midsummer, which is more stereoscopic and colorful than Hulunbeier.

Pony recommended play:

The public's way of playing is to take 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 a horse from Joan Kushitai village to Karajun, which takes about 5 hours. Although it has been 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.

Best season in karajan:

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

bayinbuluke

Pony recommended reason:

Similarly, this place does not belong to Yili, but most of them will choose to go to Yili. Generally, they will put their trip after Nalati, choose to take a single-library highway, and then go to 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 a nine-bend and eighteen-bend here, which is very distinctive.

The best season in Bayinbuluke:

Bayinbuluke belongs to the alpine grassland. You can only see the green grasslands from July to August in a year, and all other seasons are yellow, so July to August is the most beautiful, and of course the middle and late June is also very good.

Recommended scenic spots in Yili

Kazanci

This is probably the most amazing scenic spot I have ever encountered in the urban area of Yili. It is not so much a scenic spot as a place where ordinary people live. Here you can see the customs of Uighurs, for example, you can taste the rich Xinjiang flavor, you can also see many traditional handicrafts and jewelry stores, and of course, you can enjoy the life of local people here.

Six Star Street, a similar scenic spot, is also recommended 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 cable-stayed bridge with twin towers and double cable planes spans the valley and looks very spectacular.

The best season of Guozigou Bridge:

June-August is the best, because at this time, the full of green around Guozigou is lush and the background of the whole bridge looks very beautiful.

Recommended scenic spots can also be paid attention to: Princess You Jie Lavender Paradise, Horgos Port, Zhaosu Grassland, Nalati Grassland, etc.

Fourth, how to plan the tourist route of Yili? If you want to cover the routes of most scenic spots in Yili, it will take at least 5 days. If you have enough time, you can have a good time in Karajun.

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

Duku Highway > Bayinbuluke > Harqin > Sailimu Lake > Nalati > Harqin Banner > Guozigou Bridge > Horgos Port > You Jie Princess Lavender Amusement Park.

Day 1: Harqin Banner+Hanren Street+Liuxing Street

This day mainly focuses on punching in the scenic spots in the urban area of Yili, allowing you to experience the rich ethnic customs of Yili.

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

The next day: Guozigou+Sailimu Lake+Horgos Port+You Jie Princess Lavender.

Personally, I suggest that you 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. The general itinerary is to leave at eight o'clock in the morning, enjoy Guozigou+Sailimu Lake in the morning, and pack a lunch after the end. In the afternoon, visit Horgos Port+Princess Lavender of You Jie, and generally go to 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 carpool to 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 think you can choose according to your own preferences. Arrive downtown around 9 pm

Day 4-5; Nalatiduku Highway in Bayinbuluke Grassland

In order to save time, the best way is to choose carpooling. It takes about two days to visit these places, focusing on the scenery along Bayinbuluke Prairie and Duku Highway.

Matters needing attention

I suggest you try to choose a one-day tour or carpooling in Yili, because, like traveling in Xinjiang, many scenic spots in Yili have inconvenient transportation. If you want to save time and money, you should ride a pony. Of course, if you can drive by car, it is also a very good choice.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Yili cuisine recommendation Yili cuisine is very rich, most of which are full of Xinjiang flavor. The key points can be oily noodles, lung noodles, roasted buns, saute spicy chicken, milk tea, Xibo pie, Na Ren, finger food, Na Ren, lasagna, pepper chicken, minced meat noodles and naan.

The temperature in Ili will be much cooler than that in other places, so even if you come here in summer, you should take your coat.
