It's very sunny! Be sure to wear sunscreen. If you don't collect stones, the entire tour takes about forty minutes. One ride on the little train is enough.

A round trip to Urumqi is worth the trip, taking about an hour or two. Looking back, I shouldn't have gone last, but on the first day. The last day can be a bit tiring, while the first day is perfect for freshness. There are so many snacks, it's hard to eat them all. There are also some unique restaurants with great ambiance. It was okay on a weekday before National Day, avoiding the peak crowds. There was a line for the baked naan, though.

Kashgar Old City preserves historical buildings. Rainbow Lane, Oil Painting Street, and Cloth Bag Street are all unique. The small streets and alleys each have their own characteristics, making people feel relaxed and happy. The night view is even more beautiful.

The Jiaohe Ancient City Scenic Area is the world's largest, oldest, and best-preserved site of a "mud city." Named a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit in 1961, it is known as the "Pompeii of the East" and a key Silk Road city. It was the site of the earliest Tang Dynasty Anxi Protectorate. Located in Yarzigou (Yar Township), approximately 6 km west of Turpan City in Xinjiang, it is built on a 30-meter-high willow-shaped island terrace. Its ancient name, "Jiaohe," stems from the way the river flows around the city. The former Cheshi State established its capital here in the 2nd century BC. It reached its peak from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, serving as a political, military, and cultural center in the Western Regions. However, due to the infighting of Mongol nobles in the second half of the 13th century, the city was completely abandoned in 1383, leaving it in ruins. Site Features: No city walls: The cliffs surrounding the terrace serve as a natural defense. Raw earth construction: Houses, streets, government offices, and temples were all built from the loess excavated from the site, standing for thousands of years. Clearance: A 350-meter-long central avenue divides the city into east and west sections. The northern end houses the temple area, the southern area houses residences and workshops, and the eastern side houses military camps, storage trenches, and a parade ground, providing clear functional divisions. Main Highlights: South Gate Entrance: The only remaining main access point. Central avenue and flanking high walls: The site's most impressive "central axis." Big Buddha Temple, Northwest Buddhist Temple, and Northeast Buddhist Temple: Remains of clay Buddha statues, pagoda columns, and wing room remains can be seen. Pagoda Forest: A cluster of 101 stupas housing the remains of Buddhist monks. Government Area: A square, underground courtyard with a skylight, presumably the headquarters of the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate. Workshops, residential buildings, and an ancient well: Insights into the daily lives of the ancient Cheshi people. Opening Hours: 9:30 AM - 7:30 PM. Admission: 70 RMB.

It's very hot here. They should provide more shaded areas, as it's difficult to find shelter while waiting for the performance. There are cold drink shops, but you can't sit in them forever. Everything else is great. The performers are very friendly, the performance is excellent, and the environment is beautiful. I really like it.

Strolling along Yining's Liuxing Street, sunlight bathes the streets in an exotic atmosphere. Century-old alleys wind like poems, their blue walls and stained glass windows telling the story of time. Uyghur artisans strike bronze instruments, their clinking echoing through time. The aroma of baked buns fills the street corners, and the rhythm of hand drums awakens the dormant bricks and tiles. Every tile here is engraved with a story, and behind every carved wooden door lies a warm smile. The hexagonal streets and alleys, like blooming flowers, quietly embrace diverse cultures.

Baguacheng is well worth a visit. Riding an electric donkey in the nighttime breeze was so relaxing. We had the breakfast recommended by the B&B owner, but unfortunately, we arrived late and missed out on the delicious pancakes. However, the owner ordered all the street food for us: delicious lamb skewers, dumplings, cold noodles, pepper chicken, and sauerkraut noodles... He even made milk tea for us. I wasn't used to it, but it was so touching. Afterward, we checked out at every shop and even had crayfish. Hahaha. I ate so many skewers and big plate chicken that I thought crayfish was even better. 🔴Xiwei Fast Food Restaurant. Xibe flatbread is a Xibe specialty, only found in Yili. Freshly made white pancakes are served with cauliflower, chive chili sauce, milk tea, and a delicious jerk. 🔴Ruyan Farmhouse Courtyard👍🏻 This Hui-style stir-fry restaurant is also quite good. The spicy pork and Kazakh potato chips are excellent. 🔴 Ma Bai Kailai's lamb chops and sliced ​​​​pork slices are a Xinjiang specialty, and Dingjia Private Kitchen is also quite good, a Xinjiang specialty. 🔴The next morning, I went to Apa's milk tea house and had baolsak. It's delicious, with jam or cheese. It's absolutely delicious. I also had a lot of noodles, but they were still very tasty. 🔴Recommended things to do in the county town: 1. Li Street, a street with ethnic minority characteristics, perfect for taking photos and pictures. There's Gulai Dam ice cream there that you must try. It's open day or night, free of charge. 2. Tai Chi Altar, similar to the Tekes Museum, learn about the city's history and I Ching culture. You can see the eight streets of the Bagua City. Admission is 20 yuan per person, and it's open day or night. 3. The City That Never Sleeps, with ethnic minority song and dance performances, bonfires, mermaids, and more, is perfect for evenings. Free of charge. 4. The I Ching Cultural Park, where you can learn about I Ching culture, the Eight Trigrams, and other things. There's a fee, about 20 yuan per person, so it's best to go during the day. 5. The Tai Chi Eye Ferris Wheel, perfect for nighttime viewing. At night, you can visit Tai Chi Altar, the City That Never Sleeps, and another great place to check out: the Apa Grand Bazaar.

The Xinjiang Grand Theatre is located in Changji, 33 kilometers from Urimqi. A half-hour taxi ride away, the large-scale performance "Return to the Western Regions" is worth seeing. The theatre's building, resembling a golden snow lotus, is a beautiful sight.

Shuimogou (Water Mill Gully) gets its name from the watermill built here by Qing Dynasty troops. The park boasts numerous historical sites, and poems left by literati such as Ji Xiaolan add to its cultural significance. The scenic area comprises five mountains and one river, including Qingquan Mountain and Hongqiao Mountain. The Shuimo River flows through it, its course dotted with springs, streams, waterfalls, and emerald pools, offering diverse scenery in each season: spring for flowers, summer for escaping the heat, autumn for red leaves, and winter for snowscapes, the latter being particularly delightful. The area is known as a "natural oxygen bar in the city." Admission is free.
