Explore the Hidden Gems of Yili:In-depth Cultural Journey to Tekes Bagua City 🌿
I. In-Depth Revelation of Routes and Destinations
Tekes Bagua City, a mysterious city built according to the layout of the “I Ching” Bagua, is known as the ‘Frozen I Ching’. Recent data from 2026 shows that its urban streets form a radial circle, with eight main streets corresponding to ‘Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui’ respectively, and the太极坛 (Tai Chi Altar) at the center. Climbing up for an overview reveals a complete Bagua pattern. As a city in Xinjiang without traffic lights, it is not only recommended for its architectural wonders but also carries the history of ethnic integration—the carved doors and windows of people from various ethnic groups on both sides of the streets, the yurt-element decorations, and the fragrant Xibe flatbread stalls at street corners all showcase the unique charm of cultural integration.

Tai Chi Altar:City landmark with nightly light shows interpreting Bagua culture
