Yili is back! The must-visit summer retreat to escape into a 25°C paradise

The beauty of Yili is like a poetic painting—a fairyland beyond the Great Wall, reminiscent of the Jiangnan region. **Yili Travel Guide ✅** **Transportation**: You can fly directly to Yining Airport. If time allows, you can also first arrive in Urumqi and then transfer by car. Locally, self-driving or hiring a private car is more convenient. **Attractions** • **Nalati Scenic Area**: Features aerial grasslands, Panlong Valley, and river valley grasslands. Ride horses through the meadows and admire the layered pastures beneath snow-capped mountains. • **Karakoram Scenic Area**: Known for its undulating "human body" grasslands, where snow-capped peaks, forests, and wildflowers intertwine. The East and West Karakoram areas and Kuokesu Grand Canyon each have unique charm. • **Kuodengning Scenic Area**: Dense spruce forests make it a paradise for photographers. Stroll through the serene nature. • **Six-Star Street in Yining City**: Exudes exotic charm. Take a horse-drawn carriage, savor local delicacies, and experience the slow-paced life. **Food**: Try grilled lamb skewers, pilaf, naan bread, yogurt curds, and other local specialties. **Accommodation**: Options like Ctrip Resort Farmhouses and Tekes Tianyue Eco Hotel offer comfort and stunning views.
