Introduction Horse Riding in Ili

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Yili, a shining pearl in Xinjiang, has become the first choice for countless horse riding enthusiasts with its unique natural scenery and rich horse riding experience.

Enjoy the grassland scenery: The grasslands of Yili are like green brocade, with wild flowers scattered like stars, contrasting with spruce forests and snow-capped mountains. The horses galloped on the rolling hills, overlooking the Koksu Grand Canyon, and the river meandering through the earth, showing its majestic grandeur.

Riding on the dreamy snowfield: In winter, Yili is covered in silver. Horses’ hooves tread on the snow, creating an ethereal rhythm. In the distance, smoke rises from the Kazakh yurts, creating an exotic atmosphere that makes you feel like you have entered a snowy fairy tale.

Complete safety guarantee: Most of the coaches in Yili are local Kazakh riders. They have been dependent on horses since childhood and are familiar with the temperament of horses. They patiently teach cold-proof techniques before riding, keep a close eye on the horses throughout the ride, and use their superb skills to ensure safety. The helmets and protective gear they are equipped with meet the standards of severe cold regions, and special personnel will assist in standard wearing. Let you move forward without fear.

Diverse supporting facilities: The Yili horse farm is equipped with dressing rooms, rest areas and dining areas,and serves special delicacies such as roasted whole lamb and mare's milk, where you can enjoy the flavor of Yili while feasting on them; there are also wonderful Kazakh equestrian performances regularly, with riders riding horses with vigorous postures and whipping them, and traditional horse-drawn sleighs to take you to enjoy the scenery and immerse yourself in the joy of Yili horse riding.

https://nephele.ctrip.com/target/0105s12000hs20dw65609_W_10000_1200.png?proc=autoorient

When you swing up onto a horse and set foot on the magical land of Yili, the snowflakes splashed up by the horse's hooves and the fragrant grass trampled underfoot will all turn into the most touching poems deep in your memory.

Kuerdening | A beautiful grassland that you can't miss when traveling in Yili.

Kuerdening | A beautiful grassland that you can't miss when traveling in Yili.

| A beautiful grassland that you can't miss when traveling in Yili. If you travel to Xinjiang in early May, don't miss Kuerdening. The grassland here is greener earlier, with both the beauty of the vast grassland and the beautiful and charming poetic picture scroll. There are not as many tourists here as in Narati, so you can play more enjoyable. 🌟 Qimengde Viewing Platform A very good-looking viewing platform, don't miss it, you can walk up and down, or you can choose to ride a horse up and down. We chose to ride a horse to the viewing platform and then walk down. 🐎 The horse riding fee is CNY 80/hour. One way only costs CNY 80. 💰 Scenic spot ticket: CNY 60 ❤️ If you come in early May, remember to take a look at the apple flowers on the way.

Xinjiang Kurdening|This is not the Alps, this is Xinjiang Kurdening, breathtakingly beautiful

"If you know Kurdening, why bother with the Alps" is the slogan on the Kurdening travel brochure❗️With such a confident slogan, how could the scenery disappoint~🌲Forests, snow-capped mountains🏔️, grasslands, log cabins... it has all the elements of a fairy tale world, and everywhere you look is a picture🖼️ 🚘Self-driving route: Visitor Center➡️Zhonggou Ticket Checkpoint➡️Ten Mile Gallery➡️Fengxiang Station➡️Kafeng Base Camp➡️Qimengde Viewing Platform (must visit)➡️Ayousai Viewing Platform➡️Heritage Center Parking Lot➡️After parking (hiking) Tianshan Sleeping Buddha➡️(hiking/sightseeing bus) Spruce King➡️(hiking) Grassland in the Clouds 📸Photo spots: 📍Ayousai Viewing Platform: You can capture the hairpin turns of the mountain road and see the snow-capped Kababay Peak. If you go in mid-June, you can still see a bit of the snow-capped mountain, but by July it should be gone. 📍Qimengde Viewing Platform: To get to Qimengde, you need to climb over 2000 steps, and along the way, there are some log cabins where you can see the same type of log cabin as in "Heidi and Grandpa". 📍Grassland in the Clouds: You can capture the combination of grasslands and snow-capped mountains. ❤ Tips: 1️⃣The entire Kurdening Scenic Area is a one-way road‼️You drive straight without a chance to turn back. So make sure to note the parking spots. 2️⃣When navigating to Qimengde Viewing Platform, there is a "Y"-shaped fork near Kafeng Base Camp, one way leads to Qimengde Viewing Platform, the other to Ayousai Viewing Platform. Important❗️Because it's a one-way road, you must go to Qimengde first, then Ayousai❗️ 3️⃣You must park at the Heritage Center Parking Lot‼️Only after parking can you visit the three spots behind it. Remember to park at the Heritage Center! If you miss it, you'll drive straight to the exit. 4️⃣For self-driving, enter from Zhonggou Ticket Checkpoint and exit from Donggou Ticket Checkpoint. Although there are some unpaved roads, it's easier to drive than the road to Chaxi. ⛩️Navigation: Kurdening Scenic Area Visitor Center 🚌Transportation: It takes 1.5 hours to drive from Gongliu County 🚌Bus: There are 2-3 direct buses from Gongliu County Bus Station daily (about 1 hour) 🎫Tickets: 90/person (including shuttle bus), 60/person (self-driving) 🐴Horse riding🐴, about 80 per person ⏰Visiting hours: 10:00-20:00

Ili + Duku Highway Pure Play 8-Day Tour Itinerary

Ili + Duku Highway Pure Play 8-Day Tour Itinerary

From May to July in Ili, it is an ocean of flowers and a paradise of colors. At this time, when you go to Ili, you can see the fresh green of the grasslands, the pristine white of the snow-capped mountains, and various colored flowers competing to bloom. …………………Attraction Strategy…………… Sayram Lake: The lake water is clear and blue, and the lakeside is a vast grassland. Grassland Journey Nalati Grassland: Experience the thrill of galloping across the grassland and admire the magnificent grassland scenery. Kalajun Grassland: Rich in species, the grassland is winding and rugged, with a sense of beauty. Qiongkushitai: Here you can find the primitive life of herders and snow mountain pastures —————— Day 1: Warm Home—Urumqi Day 2: Urumqi—S101 National Defense Highway—Dushanzi Grand Canyon—Kuitun/Wusu Day 3: Kuitun/Wusu—Tour around Sayram Lake—Guozigou Bridge—Manxin Forget Sorrow Valley—Liuxing Street Dopamine—Yining Day 4: Yining—Izhao Highway—Xiaota Ancient Trail—Bagua City—Tekes (Due to Xiaota road construction: Day 4: Yining—Kurdening—Tekes) Day 5: Tekes—Qiongkushitai Ancient Village—Xinyuan Day 6: Xinyuan—Nalati Sky Grassland—Bayanbulak Grassland—Bayanbulak Town Day 7: Bayanbulak Town—Through Duku Highway—Urumqi Day 8—Urumqi—Warm Home ——————— Outfit Suggestions: In mid-June, when there is sun, you can wear little dresses and tank tops, but the temperature difference between day and night is significant, so you need a three-in-one storm coat. For example, in Xiaota, it's hot at 9 am at the service area, but by 11 am at General's Bridge, the wind is strong and you need to change into a thick coat. After climbing for a while, you switch to a thin coat, but at the mountain top, you need the three-in-one again because the wind is so strong. Going down, it gets hot again, and it starts raining at 3:30 pm, getting heavier and heavier, making the road very muddy. Mud covers the shoes, and at General's Bridge, you wait for the electric car for 3 hours under an umbrella, but the wind is too strong for the umbrella to be effective, and you end up freezing numb.
