Riding on the dreamy snowfield: In winter, Tekes is covered in silver. The sound of horses' hooves treading the snow creates a rustling rhythm. Galloping on the vast snowfield, the mountains in the distance are silvery white, and the curling smoke from cooking nearby blends with the white snow. This is the unique snow poetry of Tekes.

Yili, Xinjiang | Qingtian Jiyi Homestay, a haven in a fairyland.

Yili, Xinjiang | Qingtian Jiyi Homestay, a haven in a fairyland.

| Qingtian Jiyi Homestay, a haven in a fairyland. ✨Wow, guys! Today, I'm going to share the amazing Qingtian Jiyi Homestay with you! 📍It's hidden in Qiongkushitai Village, Tekes County, Yili, Xinjiang. This is a treasure trove of nomadic villages at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and one of the 100 historical and cultural villages in China! The natural landscape brought by the unique geographical location is simply amazing, and it is known as the last secret place in Yili. 🌟 🌄The design is very ingenious: The designer combed the site and determined the landscape orientation and light trajectory. While retaining the original appearance of the Kazakh log cabin, the way and position of the windows were cleverly changed, and various forms of windows brought the beautiful scenery into the room. The boundary between the interior and exterior was blurred. No matter which corner of the room you are in, you can see the beautiful scenery, like a flowing picture that changes with the seasons, so beautiful that it takes your breath away! 🛏The room layout is great: Although the four 360㎡ log cabins cannot be expanded or rebuilt, a reception hall and 12 rooms are planned, and almost all beds face the scenery. The transparent windows extend the view, and the cramped feeling disappears, as if you are living in the scenery. 🎨The interior is simple and elegant: There is no extra decoration, mainly wood and paint, with a small number of arches echoing the local characteristics. There is no headboard or bed design, which is close to the way Kazakh nomads sleep on the ground. 💡Energy saving is very considerate: All outdoor lighting uses solar lamps. At night, the log cabins on the grassland are lit under the stars, which is very atmospheric, like a warm fire giving travelers a sense of belonging.

Xinjiang Grassland 🌿 and Lavender Hillside 🪻at Qiongkushitai

#grassland Qiongkush Terrace or Qiongkushitai is a place I accidentally heard about when I was driving on the Duku Highway last year. After searching online, this place is not on most tour groups or group tour routes. It is also a "niche secret" that has only been discovered in the past few years. Compared with Nalati and Kalajun, the ticket-free Qiongkush Terrace is not so commercialized. The name of this destination is very special. Friends who are not familiar with it may miss a few words. A secret place that few people go to. #chinatrip #xinjiang

Xinjiang Yili's seven-day and six-night free trip | The thing I regret the most

Xinjiang Yili's seven-day and six-night free trip | The thing I regret the most

I didn't rent a DSLR to take with me The phone can't capture such a vast grassland and snow-capped mountains, the scenery is really too stunning! 📍Attached is our travel strategy: There were four of us in a chartered car, from 6.3 to 6.10 D1: Departure-Urumqi-Changji D2: Sayram Lake-Guozigou Bridge D3: Huocheng Qingshui River Lavender-Kalajun D4: Horse riding in Kalajun-Tekes Bagua City D5: Kuerdening-Narat D6: Tangbula Hundred Mile Gallery-Bulong Hot Spring D7: Dushanzi Grand Canyon-Return trip The Duku Highway took the northern section, Bayinbuluke was not open yet, please remember to take turns sitting in the co-pilot seat to enjoy the scenery~ ⚠️Xinjiang is too big, and each scenic spot is very scattered, be careful not to schedule too many trips~ It is recommended to arrange the most stunning scenic spots in the first two days, because you will gradually become aesthetically tired later on😂 ❤️My three favorite places 1️⃣ Sayram Lake: The clouds roll and the sea and sky are one color, be sure to pick a sunny day to go! 2️⃣ Kalajun Scenic Area: The Falcon Terrace is really shocking, we rode horses for eight hours, marveling at the beautiful scenery all the way, and on a clear night, you can see the starry sky and the Big Dipper for the first time~ So you must stay in the grassland! 3️⃣ Tangbula Grassland Hundred Mile Gallery: Although I was a bit tired of the grassland in the last two days, Tangbula is really beautiful, and the scenery along the way is the best! ⚡️Personal lightning protection Dushanzi Grand Canyon is a bit like a canyon version of Happy Valley, with mostly entertainment projects inside, which are quite average, but the main thing is that it's too sunny 👗Dressing and skincare advice🧴 1️⃣No need to say more about the white dress, it fits well in any environment, the yellow dress will attract a lot of insects, please be cautious😐Red clothes are quite stunning, even saw several red aunt travel groups 2️⃣Three-in-one is the most worn clothing in Xinjiang, because you can experience four seasons in one day, every day is a layering method, when the sun is strong, it is very hot, especially after seven or eight o'clock in the evening, especially on the grassland by the lake, the temperature will drop sharply and it is very cold, and the wind is also very strong, it is also good to bring a thin down jacket👍 3️⃣Rain boots saved my life! Because there is really a lot of horse manure on the grassland, wearing boots will be very convenient👢 4️⃣No need to wear makeup but must wear sunscreen, and need to reapply often, and moisturizing is very important, mixed dry skin went to Xinjiang and directly became a Loulan mummy... 💰Total cost Didn't calculate in detail, it should be around 8k The whole journey into the scenic area was self-driving so it was very comfortable! The hotel averages about one to two hundred per person per night~ 🥳Final feelings The clouds on the lake that seem to be within reach, the stars on the grassland, the Kazakh songs on horseback, singing loudly on the Duku Highway, these memories will become the fuel fragments for continuing to work hard in life, will definitely come back in the future🤣First earn enough money and then talk... Next time I want to check in the autumn scenery of Kanas in North Xinjiang🍂

Qiongkushitai, this homestay surrounded by the grasslands, has an amazing view from the window!

Qiongkushitai The most comfortable thing about summer is the lazy idleness. On the grasslands, you can do nothing at all, just feel the breeze, watch the sky, and experience the relaxation that the pure natural summer brings. Wandering in the natural scenery, empty your mind, stretch out your tired body and soul. A more passionate and fleeting summer is about to begin, though the days here are long, it's like falling into a midsummer night's dream. Everything about the Qiongkushitai Wanqing Collection Homestay, is beautiful yet surreal.
