I have been to and from Yili many times, and the time for each stay is not long. I came back from this holiday and looked at the museum. I always feel that it is not bad.

On June 26, 2022, I communicated with the staff in advance and got a reply that it was closed at 5:30, because the museum had no parking space and could only park in the small area of the opposite community, resulting in arriving at the museum gate at 5:10, but was told that the museum had been closed. After complaining to the mayor's hotline, it was answered on July 1, 2022 because a leader's visit led to the early closure of the museum, which concluded that the museum of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture is for some leaders and not for the people.
