Tuergen Apricot Valley, located in Tuergen Township, Xinyuan County, Yili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, is a primitive wild apricot forest left over from the Middle Ages. Every early April, tens of thousands of acres of wild apricot trees bloom in succession along the hillsides, creating a layered three-dimensional painting with pink and white flower seas, distant snow-capped mountains, and nearby grasslands. The core area of the scenic spot is divided into two major regions: Xingfang Valley and Xinghong Valley, connected by wooden plank roads and shuttle buses, allowing visitors to hike or ride horses deep into the valley. In 2026, the scenic spot implements a real-name registration system, with opening hours from 9:00 to 20:00 daily. The combined ticket for admission and shuttle bus is 40 yuan per person, and ticket holders can enter the Nalati National Wetland Park for free before June 30.
