Kazanqi Folk-custom Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Most of the walls and doors are painted blue by the locals. I feel like that I arrive at another city, such as Chefchaouen in Morocco. You should never miss the fruits in Xinjiang which are sweet and big.
"Xinjiang Traveling - Kazanqi": Exploring the most exotic native areas in Xinjiang
"Recommended": [Fu 5]
"Coordinates": Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture Kazanqi Folk Customs Area, Yixiang Street, Yining City
"Features":
1The number of Uighurs in Kazanqili is the largest. This ethnic minority may live in a romantic soul. In this mysterious colorful alley, there are full of surprises everywhere.
2The few ethnic celebrities here like colorful colors, and blue is the main color of the houses they built for hundreds of years, so a household here has a different blue color. Although the blue is amazing, it is not dazzling, but with a fresh and quiet.
3In the early morning, a group of people started to sweep the street, just a wall, or a door, is the best setting. There are fewer laughs in the alleys, seeing the courtyards that you like, pushing open the door, asking if you can take a photo, the hosts are enthusiastic, and then they have these photos.
4 Finally ended the journey of this colorful alley in the arms of a very polite twin baby.
"Attention": The residents here are also very friendly, but it does not mean that you can enter the courtyard of other people at will. It is best to get the owner's answer before you take a photo.

Liuxing Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
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'.

Sayram Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I waited a year just for the Xinjiang of May to July, here's an ultra-detailed guide!
Life is a wilderness, not a track, hearing a thousand times is not as good as seeing once. Here's a route reference
D1: From various places, arrive in Urumqi
D2: Urumqi—Sayram Lake—Guozigou Bridge—Ili
D3: Ili—Xia'ta—Tekes Hexagonal Town

D9: Turpan—Kumtag Desert—Urumqi
Precautions:
Remember to rent a car in advance on Ctrip or other reliable platforms before departure, it is recommended to place an order on the platform for security. (Insurance is a must because the distances between each scenic spot in Xinjiang are far, and the driving distance is long, in case of emergency)
Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, prepare 1-2 pieces of thick clothing.!
For the long self-driving journey, remember to go to the supermarket to purchase some food for when you get hungry on the road and to replenish energy.
Remember to bring your ID card and student ID, if you go to southern Xinjiang or some scenic spots in Kanas, you need to apply for a border pass, which can be done at a nearby police station.
Travel tips and outfit suggestions:
1. Remember to wear brightly colored clothes on the grasslands for better photos (such as yellow, pink, purple, etc.).
2. You must visit the pine trees at Sayram Lake, although it's tiring and you may want to give up many times, as long as you persist to the top you will find it's all worth it as you can overlook the entire panorama of Sayram Lake and Guozigou Bridge.
3. Bring some sunglasses and hats for sun protection and also as a fashionable item for better photos (girls can buy a triangular scarf to wear on their head for amazing photos).
ps: 'Northern Xinjiang for scenery, Southern Xinjiang for culture', the moment you arrive in Xinjiang, your story begins. Every moment is like a movie playing, the beauty of Xinjiang, no words in this world are enough to describe it.

The most beautiful and comfortable place is Sailimu Lake
The recent sunset time of Sailimu Lake is 19:15, the sunrise time is 10:10, the highest temperature is -5, the lowest is -14, and the recent weather of Sailimu Lake is very good.
Moreover, the weather forecast of Sailimu Lake is not very accurate. Several times the forecast is cloudy or overcast, but when I arrive at Sailimu Lake, it is sunny. So I always tell tourists that Sailimu Lake really depends on luck!
It is suggested to drive by oneself or pack a small group for free travel to Sailimu Lake, which is very convenient. I have prepared a hot pot for the snow field. It's really comfortable to eat hot pot while watching the sunset! The ice pushing of Sailimu Lake is about to start.
Sayram Lake
Sayram Lake is a pearl at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, China. It is the largest alpine moraine lake in China and one of the most famous attractions in the Tianshan Mountains. Here are some experiences you can try when visiting Sayram Lake:

The homestay has not been open for long, and the decoration style is very unique, with a strong exotic atmosphere.
The owner seems to be very smart as well, setting up a camping site nearby. When we arrived, we saw many local ethnic minority youths gathering, creating a great atmosphere~
The only downside is that it's too lively at night, hahaha.
They naturally go to bed later than us, and last night there were still people playing music and chatting after midnight, but we were so tired that we fell asleep quickly~
