When you take the steaming pasta brought by the Uighur guys, you will feel the enthusiasm of the Six Star Street and the brother nation; When you stand in front of the city carvings of three black copper horse carriages, you seem to appreciate the exotic atmosphere; When you are close to the half-circle lantern door of Liuxing Street, you will not help but walk forward to the city pool; When you step on the lanterns of "I am waiting for you in Liuxing Street", maybe you really look forward to that warm encounter; Nature when "Apple Incense" comes quietly, your feet seem to move, that is not only the song but also the sweet Ili Apple 🍎 and so on. The magic sucks you.
Yining Liuxing Street is located in the central area of Yining City. It has a long history and rich ethnic culture. Liuxing Street was built in the 1930s and was designed by German designer Wassily. The entire block is hexagonal in plan. Liguang Street, Gongren Street and Sailimu Street intersect and lead directly to the central square. Six main streets radiate outward, dividing the block into six fan-shaped areas. The center is public buildings such as schools, shops, and mosques, and the periphery is a residential area.
Eight ethnic groups, including Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Russians and Han, live in the block. Nearly a hundred years of cultural accumulation has made Liuxing Street unique in the integration of Chinese and Western cultures and multi-ethnic cultures.
Liuxing Street is distributed with buildings with ethnic characteristics and Russian style. In the Langge courtyard, you can watch dance performances while eating and listen to Langge songs such as Apple Fragrance. There is also the Liuxing Street Folk Culture Exhibition Hall and the Alexander Accordion Collection Hall.
At the Liuxing Street Cultural Tourism Market, you can buy some cultural and creative products, ethnic handicrafts and authentic Xinjiang specialties.

Kazanqi is worth visiting. I didn't know there was a kind of blue called Ili blue until I got there. I took a horse-drawn carriage to visit the local open houses. Each house has a different style, which is really full of Western style.
This is a large neighborhood with very rich ethnic characteristics, located in the center of Yining, adjacent to the famous Six Star Street, convenient transportation, the building here is mainly blue, with a strong Islamic style, free to tourists.

In 2025, the Yizhao Highway was opened very early. On May 15, the whole line was opened. We drove to Zhaosu on the 16th. The scenery was very beautiful. There were also many parking spots on the road to take pictures. There were many detours and climbs, but it was not difficult to open as long as you were careful.
Yizhao Highway, known as the Little Duku Highway, is so beautiful. It is so majestic.
Transportation:
To get to Zhaosu County, you can take Yizhao Highway, cross Baishi Peak, cross mountains and turn countless mountain roads, and you will reach Zhaosu County. Yizhao Highway is opened around June every year and is open to traffic at 9 am. The mountain road is very dangerous and the scenery is so beautiful.
Reason for recommendation:
The mountain road is winding and steep, the distant mountains are steep and the mountain is quiet, surrounded by mountains and pine forests, and occasionally you will encounter ethnic minority singers singing here.
I didn't stop to appreciate it properly, but fortunately there was a photographer who took pictures to keep as a souvenir.
