Glowing Yining:2026 Comprehensive Guide to In-Depth Cultural Exploration of Ili’s Liuxing Street
🌸 [Route Highlights:A Colorful Maze Through Time and Space]
Liuxing Street, known as the ‘urban living room’ of the Ili River Valley, is famous for its unique hexagonal radial street layout. It is not only a living fossil of architectural art but also a microcosm of ethnic integration. Strolling through the neighborhood, the carved doorways of various ethnic groups, the wrought iron balconies of the Russian ethnic group, and the brick-carved shadow walls of various ethnic groups complement each other. Thirty-seven historical buildings and twelve cultural exhibition halls connect centuries of history. The newly upgraded ‘Soundscape Guide System’ in 2026 allows you to listen to stories of the streets and alleys told by old craftsmen by scanning a QR code with your mobile phone, while the nighttime light show transforms the colorful walls into a flowing canvas.
