Yining’s charm lies in its rich natural scenery and diverse cultural experiences.

Six-Star Street:A colorful neighborhood full of life. You can hear accordion music and taste freshly baked samsas, pilaf, and handmade ice cream.
Kazanqi Folk Culture Village:Blue-and-white buildings are its hallmark. Ride a ‘Hadike’ (local horse-drawn carriage) through the alleys, or try making small embroidered hats in workshops to experience traditional lifestyles.
2. Sayram Lake: The ‘Blue Eye’ of Yili
Beautiful in All Seasons:In summer, the lake is azure, contrasting with snow-capped mountains; in winter, the lake freezes, creating spectacular ‘blue ice’ and ‘ice bubble’ wonders.
Lakeside Experience:The ring road offers wide views, perfect for photos by the lake and watching sunrises and sunsets. Winter sunsets are late, giving ample photo time.
3. Nalati Grassland: ‘Sky Prairie’ Scenery
Diverse Landscapes:Combining snow mountains, meadows, forests, and streams, it’s an ideal place to experience the poetic ‘wind blows grass low, revealing cattle and sheep.’
Seasonal Activities:Wildflowers bloom in summer, autumn leaves paint the landscape, and winter offers skiing. The scenic area has trails of varying difficulty.
