After visiting Xinjiang, I no longer want to go anywhere else

Extreme three-day Xinjiang tour! Day1 Arriving in Urumqi, Xinjiang Wuhan➡️Urumqi➡️s101 highway➡️Jinghe County On the first day, we arrived in Urumqi and settled in Changji, where we had a Xinjiang local barbecue! The pace of life in Changji is much slower than in Urumqi, people are so leisurely! Although it's only over 30 kilometers away, the lifestyle is completely different! After the barbecue, we headed straight for the s101, known as the 'Little Duku' mountain road, to appreciate the Xinjiang landscape! Then we went straight to Jinghe County! ❗️Day 2 Sayram Lake Jinghe County➡️Sayram Lake➡️Liuxing Street➡️Qingshuihe Town The second day's itinerary was mainly to see Sayram Lake. Some people like the Heavenly Lake of Tianshan, but I think Sayram Lake is even more breathtaking! The scenes from your phone's wallpaper come to life right before your eyes! The sky is blue, the water is blue, it's stunning! After that, we went to Liuxing Street to experience the snack street and had the famous ice cream! Finally, we stayed in Qingshuihe Town. ❗️Day 3 Anjihai Grand Canyon Qingshuihe➡️Anjihai Grand Canyon➡️Grand Bazaar➡️Hotel stay Anjihai Grand Canyon is truly a grand canyon, I can't describe it with just 'stunning' anymore! Finally, we went to the commercial street Grand Bazaar, which is completely commercialized, but it's undeniable, this is the Uyghur people's big market! ❗Day 4 Return to Wuhan Urumqi➡️Return to Wuhan Heading home I will come back again!

When traveling to Yili, don't miss Liuxing Street

If you travel to Yili, be sure not to miss Liuxing Street. To facilitate the use of public transportation, we stayed near the bus station, which is very close to Liuxing Street, about a 20-minute walk according to the navigation. About Liuxing Street This is an ancient neighborhood, Liuxing Street was established in the mid-1930s, and it has a history of about 90 years. It was planned and designed by the German engineer Wasili. The entire neighborhood is formed by the intersection of Li Guang Street, Worker Street, and Sailimu Street, which radiate from the center outwards. Its buildings are mostly in the traditional Uyghur architectural style, with bright colors. On the old street, there are many themed shops with different decorations, each with its own style. The Gulandanmu century-old handmade ice cream shop, the Russian-style log cabin bar, the handmade bread (leba) shop, the drink bar, and so on, are all star shops of Liuxing Street. You can not only taste delicious food but also take photos and check in, which is very photogenic. The old street of Yili has the local atmosphere, food, and beautiful scenery. In the alleys, the afternoon sun sprinkles on the walls and doors and windows, giving you a strong visual impact with these colorful surfaces and the mottled shadows scattered all over. For two consecutive days, my teammates and I went to Liuxing Street twice, loving the ancient and simple, authentic atmosphere of the streets and alleys, feeling like a European town. The next morning at 8 o'clock, we went to the alley again, feeling that the whole alley had just woken up. At that moment, just my teammate and I were there, feeling like we had the whole place to ourselves~

Special Street

Planned and constructed in 1934, Liuxing Street is the core area of Yining City, which has been approved as a national historical and cultural city, and it is also a historical and cultural block at the autonomous region level. It is not only a unique cultural vein of Ili, but also a historical heritage of cultural exchange between Chinese and Western urban planning and construction, with unique historical and cultural values. The scenic area covers an area of 0.7 square kilometers, with 3 roads intersecting at the center and radiating out 6 main roads, forming a hexagonal block, hence it is called Liuxing Street. The unique planning texture of Liuxing Street is rare in the world and only exists in China. Relying on the unique pastoral city pattern and the cultural resources advantage of rich Russian style and multicultural convergence, it carefully creates a multi-element and integrated cultural leisure feature rich in Russian national style, integrating 'food, accommodation, shopping, travel, entertainment', and other functions into one. It is a high-quality leisure and cultural tourism block, and has initially cultivated the 'night tourism' brand, becoming a tourist area where 'Ili people love to go, and outsiders must go'. In 2020, it was rated as a national 4A level tourist attraction and a national minority characteristic village. In 2021, it was awarded the Chinese Folk Culture and Art Village (Russian Bayan Art) and the National Tourism and Leisure Block. It is synchronously shaping the tourism image of 'Pastoral City', 'Small Town of Flowers', and 'Music Town', and is committed to becoming a beautiful business card of 'Silk Road Heaven, Colorful Yining'.

Yining City, Xinjiang | Eating and drinking guide is here!

Yining has an airport, friends coming to Xinjiang can play and turn around in this colorful and delicious place~😍 1⃣️Kazanqi Folk Scenic Area: You can take a horse-drawn carriage🐎 for a ride inside, remember to bargain! There are many delicious foods in the alley, barbecue noodles ice cream... and various blue ethnic style small houses. There are also small pigeons at the door to take pictures, very beautiful~ 2⃣️Six Star Street: This is a relatively new attraction, and it is also some ethnic style buildings, with more shops. Gulandum ice cream🍦 must be tasted, with any small ingredients. There is also a Russian large leba bakery🍞, after eating Xinjiang cuisine, you can also taste Russian cuisine. Six Star Street is larger and there are some specialty shops, cafes and even vintage to visit. 3⃣️Yili River Lantern Festival: It seems to be the first lantern exhibition🏮, until March. It's quite big and well done, free entry. It's nice to go for a walk and take pictures at night. It's just a long way to go out. 4⃣️Zhuque Lake Park: Not far from Yining City, the lake is now frozen and you can play on the ice, rent a tire sled haha it's so fun, just tired😅 Of course, Xinjiang cuisine doesn't need to say much, noodles, big plate chicken, roast lamb, pilaf, fried rice noodles... No, I'm going to be greedy if I say it again, I can't eat enough, I can't eat enough!

The must-visit Kazanqi Folk Street in Yining!

⭕Kazanqi⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are many blue houses, which are very distinctive. Inside, there are some shops selling yogurt, as well as some teahouses and shops renting ethnic costumes. ⭕Six Star Street⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall, it is cleaner than Kazanqi, and cars are not allowed to enter after 7 o'clock. There are also many places to take pictures. ⭕Food ❶Gulandam Ice Cream: Many people buy the classic original flavor for 9.9, and then add various small ingredients. The internet-famous shop is super crowded, but the queue is quite fast. The ice cream is more delicious than that in Urumqi and Tian Er Street. Zaxiangzi Noodle Soup: It won't step on the thunder, but it's not particularly delicious. It's mediocre, 26 for a serving, with side dishes, noodle soup (cabbage, cold noodle pieces, mutton), oil cake, and flower rolls. ❷Hazina Pastry: Because I went late, there are not many pastries left. I bought the very windy apricot jam and yogurt bread. Because I was quite full, I tasted a bite of apricot jam bread, I didn't like it, it was too sweet... I will comment on the yogurt bread after eating. ⚠️A restaurant I really like: Mijiti Fast Food Restaurant The pilaf and oily meat noodles inside are super delicious (not in Kazanqi and Six Star Street) I feel that there is no need to deliberately check in at Kazanqi and Six Star Street. If you come to take ethnic photos, you can. There are many shops, choose carefully...

Star Street Church

Yining|Six Star Street Attractions: Yining Six Star Street Location: 200 meters west of the intersection of Jiangsu Road and Worker Street in Yining City Tickets: Free Travel notes: The moon is on the top of the willow, and the people are after the dusk. The wind blows through the streets, the lights are on, emitting a warm orange light, like a girl's tender, gently stroking the streets, plants, flower shadows... Six Star Street is a relatively complete tourist area, where you can visit the streets of Six Star Street; visit the residences of Uighurs, Russians, and Tatars; watch Russian bread workshops; visit Orthodox churches; enjoy ethnic songs and dances; visit Russian accordion museums. The most recommended is the Gulandam Ice Cream Shop, the lamps, walls, flowers are all aged, with a kind of ancient charm and ethnic style, as a century-old shop, it offers various flavors of handmade ice cream, supplemented with raisins, dried blueberries, crushed peanuts, jam and other condiments, order a ice cream, find a quiet place, taste a sweet... Six Star Street, covering an area of 47 hectares, as its name suggests, the street is circular in plan, with six main roads radiating from the center, dividing the street into six fan-shaped areas, the center is schools, shops, mosques and other public buildings, the periphery is residential areas, inhabited by Han, Kazakh, Hui, Uighur, Russian, Tatar and other ethnic residents, forming a unique residential pattern. It was built in the mid-1930s (1934-1936) and was planned and designed by German engineer Vasily. According to research, the layout of the Six Star Street is extremely similar to the Garden City theory (1898) proposed by Ebenezer Howard, the pioneer of modern city planning at the end of the 19th century.

【Xinjiang·Yining·Liuxing Street】I come to that blue city three times a year

Xinjiang·Yining·Liuxing Street Xinjiang is a mysterious and distant place. Yining is an indispensable part of the story in the Western Regions. Many people say that Liuxing Street is overly commercialized. It's undeniable. But walking down, it's not without feelings. If you have seen the off-season of Liuxing Street, it fully satisfies all imaginations of feelings. Those exotic cultures are all in it. Slow is the only rhythm. Next year's peak season is another scene. Love, what you love.
