The beautiful Ili Valley is located in Tianshan Mountain? Between the cracks? In fact, the cracks in Tianshan Mountain are very wide, and the width from north to south is trumpet-shaped from east to west, which is getting wider and wider. Why is it called here Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall? ? The reason can only be understood if you have been there.
The Ili Valley is named after the Ili River, which is a famous inland river. It nourishes millions of people in the Ili Valley and half of Kazakhstan. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a great mother river.
Ili Valley is the region with the richest precipitation and the highest vegetation coverage in Xinjiang. Due to the rivers such as Yili River and Kashi River, which are moistened by the melting water of Tianshan Mountain, and the supply of Atlantic airflow, Xinjiang is the least water-deficient place.
In addition, it is far from the desert, and there are almost no sandstorms all year round. Therefore, compared with southern Xinjiang, the air in Yili is fresh, and compared with other areas in northern Xinjiang, Yili has natural environmental advantages. Therefore, the Ili Valley is unique, which is different from the Gobi customs in northern Xinjiang and does not belong to the desert oasis in southern Xinjiang. It is more like a paradise in Tao Yuanming's works.
Spring comes to Xinghua Village, but Yining is beautiful.
With the news of spring flowers spreading all over the country, Xinjiang is unwilling to be lonely. Who says the spring breeze doesn't pass through Yumenguan, and the spring in Yili Valley comes earlier than many cold areas in the mainland? There are few winter jasmine flowers here, but apricot flowers can be seen everywhere. Yining County, known as the hometown of apricot in China, is the earliest place to hold the apricot blossom festival in northern Xinjiang. For a time, tourists swarmed in, and hundreds of thousands of people flocked to this small county. Many of them are go on road trip fans from Urumqi and Shihezi, not far from Wan Li.
Although there are many places where apricot blossoms bloom, including Tulgen, Daxigou and Xinghua Valley, apricot blossoms in Yining County bloom early and flourish. It can be said that it takes advantage. Therefore, the annual apricot blossom festival brings a lot of tourism income to the local area. I personally went to the 9th Apricot Blossom Festival, which was my first time. It feels really beautiful, the scene is very lively, and there is a dreamy feeling. Apricot trees are almost decades old, and their shapes are beautiful.
Apricot blossoms smell delicious.
It is not uncommon to see large tracts of apricot flowers in the Ili Valley in spring. Because this land itself is an ocean of flowers. However, what attracts tourists most is the colorful food at the apricot blossom festival. Unfortunately, I went to Xianghe Apricot Garden, the venue of the Apricot Festival, but I didn't go to the food street in People's Square. It is said that many people don't go for apricot flowers, but want to taste authentic Xinjiang cuisine. After all, people eat food for the sky, and everyone knows the world of eating goods.
Because I didn't go either, I ate kebabs and bean jelly in Xianghe Apricot Garden and drank kawas unique to Xinjiang. It's really good, too Since you are traveling, you should eat, drink and be merry, so that your body and soul are on the road. ?
Beauty lies beyond the Great Wall, and occasionally in Xinglin.
There are three or four lighting stages in the Apricot Blossom Festival. One is the main venue, and the opening ceremony is held on that stage. In addition, there is a wedding theme and a children's theme stage, and the wonderful performances are dazzling. Xinjiang Jiali, dressed in national costumes and performing in Xingyuan, has become a beautiful landscape. Many people stopped to watch and lost track of time.
Even the volunteers are young and beautiful women, smiling, gentle and elegant. Let tourists experience the intimate service and leave us the best memories. It is said that there were crazy electronic syllables in the evening, but we didn't go because we were too far away from the venue. However, as a good singer and dancer in Xinjiang, the atmosphere at the scene can be imagined.
