A Hundred-Mile Gallery is like an ink painting stretched between heaven and earth. Streams meander, mountains overlap with lush greenery, and the scenery along the way is naturally fresh. It has the tranquility of the countryside and the dynamic charm of landscapes. Each season offers different views: spring is adorned with blooming flowers, summer is lush and green, autumn is painted with red leaves, and winter is wrapped in a silver coat. The beauty of each season is endless. Visitors feel as if they have stepped into a painting, becoming one with nature. Small bridges and flowing streams, along with local homes, add to the rich rural atmosphere. The Hundred-Mile Gallery is not only a great place to visit but also a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle, where one can savor a poetic life, making it hard to leave.

Stepping into Xinjiang's Hundred-Mile Gallery feels like entering a vibrant world. Here, nature's most proud artwork is on display, with every corner showcasing stunning scenery. At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the grasslands are lush, trees provide ample shade, and the distant snow-capped mountains create a picturesque contrast. As vehicles slowly move forward, the scenery continuously changes—sometimes golden wheat fields, sometimes brilliant flower seas, and sometimes serene lakes—offering a visual feast of colors. The landscape is so richly painted, it feels as if nature has spilled its palette, decorating the area into a dreamlike wonderland. While marveling at nature's craftsmanship, one also feels the diversity and beauty of life.

Why not head to Baili Gallery this weekend to enjoy the autumn vibes? On your way back to Beijing, you might be surprised to find a vast maple forest where red and yellow leaves intertwine to create a spectacular scene. Here's the latest update on the maple forest: The yellow maple forest has completely turned golden, and some leaves have already started to fall. This beautiful scene is expected to last for about 6 days. The red maple forest has just started to show its vibrant red color, and the best viewing period is expected to be around 8 days. ❓How to find this maple forest: Use a navigation system 🧭 and set your destination to "Yongxinbao Village." Drive along the road, and you'll see the maple forest on the roadside. The maple forest is located at the intersection of Changchixin Road and Liuyan Road. When driving, navigate to Yongxinbao Village, but don't enter the village. Continue along the road for a few minutes, and you'll find the forest by the roadside. Additionally, you can drive 🚗 into the forest, which is also a great place for camping 🏕️.

Ili, known as the most humid city in Xinjiang, is also called the 'Apple City'. Here is a nine-day travel guide for Ili: • Day 1: After arriving in Yining, stay in Yining. You can stroll around Kazanqi or Liuxing Street, and don't miss the Yining handmade ice cream that rivals Häagen-Dazs. In the evening, head to the Ili River to watch the sunset, and at night, go to Hanren Street to taste roasted lamb skewers and drink kvass. • Day 2: Rent a car in the early morning to head to Tangbula, passing through the Hundred Mile Gallery on the way. Arrange accommodation in the felt tent area closest to Fairy Lake, drop off your luggage, and then ride a horse to Fairy Lake. The round-trip cost is about 200 yuan per person, and it takes about 2 - 3 hours. Enjoy lamb or big plate chicken for dinner at your accommodation. • Day 3: In the morning, depart from Tangbula to Nalati. It is recommended to buy a self-driving ticket to enter. The aerial grassland is stunningly beautiful, and many online videos and photos are taken here. If time is limited, you can skip Xuelian Valley (as it's not accessible by self-driving). Stay overnight in Nalati town. • Day 4: If you're up for it in the morning, continue to walk on the Panlong Ancient Trail in Nalati (the ticket is valid for two days), then head from Nalati to Qiaxi. Reach the top of the mountain at the deepest part of the scenic area to admire the beauty of the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. If you prefer leisure, find a hilltop to sit quietly and daydream, or take a walk in the forest. If there's still time, continue to Kuerdening or Tarim. Stay overnight in Qiaxi. • Day 5: Depart from Qiaxi in the morning to Kalajun. Arrive at the Human Body Grassland before sunset, when the light is best. Stay overnight in Tekes, where there are several famous places for roasted lamb skewers and lamb rib noodles. It's worth trying. • Day 6: Depart from Tekes in the morning to Qiongkushitai. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can stop to take photos. It is recommended to stay in a guesthouse on the mountain behind the village, where the scenery is the best and more peaceful. The cost for a felt tent is about 100 yuan per person, and a better-conditioned standard room starts at 300 yuan. The sunset on the mountain is breathtaking, and at night, you can watch the dazzling starry sky. • Day 7: If you have enough time, you can ride a horse or hike from Qiongkushitai along the Wusun Ancient Trail to Kalajun. If time is limited, continue to Shata. Stay in the scenic area, where there are felt tent areas and wooden house areas (Note: You cannot self-drive into the scenic area, so arrange accommodation in advance to have them transport your luggage. After buying tickets, tourists take a sightseeing bus to enter). In the afternoon, you can first stroll on the plank road, with beautiful snow mountains and flower seas. • Day 8: Take the shuttle bus directly to the end point in the morning, and then start hiking. Along the way, you will pass rivers, forests, flower seas, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains, with stunning scenery and close encounters with snow-capped mountains (you must hike in Shata, as the essence is in this hiking section). Stay overnight in Zhaosu County. • Day 9: Return to Yining from Zhaosu, ending the pleasant journey. If you have one or two more days, you can continue to Sailimu Lake. Drive along the lake, with blue skies, white clouds, flower seas, snow-capped mountains, and lakes, which are refreshing. You can return to Yining for accommodation at night, or stay at Sailimu Lake. Please note that there is a large temperature difference between day and night in Ili. The nights in May can be a bit cold, so remember to bring a windbreaker or a medium-thick coat.

The rule of the wilderness is to never look back. Hundred Mile Gallery The waters of the Ili River are crystal clear, with a faint blue sheen, flowing through snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and forests. It truly lives up to its name as the Hundred Mile Gallery, with every frame looking like an oil painting! It's a healing experience by nature! In my eyes, the most beautiful place is still the Tangbula Hundred Mile Gallery in Nileke County, with grasslands, mountains, rivers, lakes, and hills full of wildflowers, herds of horses and sheep, campsites, and all kinds of scenery along the way. Driving through it is such a delight, how can the word 'beautiful' alone suffice to describe it! The Hundred Mile Gallery, in my opinion, is the best route for self-driving in Ili, with scenery at every step, rivaling the landscapes of Switzerland.
