The "Most Mysterious" City in China - It Has to Be This One!

The "Most Mysterious" City in China - It Has to Be This One! In the vast expanse of northwest China, there is a unique city laid out like a giant Bagua formation. There are almost no traffic lights in the urban area, yet traffic flows smoothly. This hidden gem, located in the Ili River Valley at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, is Tekes County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. From the air, Tekes County resembles a giant spiderweb. Looking across the country and even the world, it is undoubtedly a city with extremely high recognition. It is said that the layout of the county was designed by Qiu Chuji, a Taoist master, based on the Bagua diagram from the I Ching. The center of the city represents the Taiji Yin and Yang, extending outwards according to the eight directions of the Bagua. Notably, in 1996, Tekes removed all traffic lights, becoming a city without them. The most famous attraction in the county must be the Kalajun Grassland, known as "China's most beautiful three-dimensional grassland landscape belt." Kalajun boasts a variety of natural landscapes, including green grass, flowers, rivers, forests, snow-capped peaks, glaciers, canyons, hot springs, waterfalls, stone forests, and karst caves, as well as cultural relics such as rock paintings, ancient roads, grassland stone figures, and ancient tombs. Kalajun Grassland is not only a paradise for nature lovers but also an ideal destination for photographers and tourists! When spring arrives and flowers bloom, embark on a journey to experience the unique charm of Tekes!
