E22***58Gulandam Ice Cream Shop is a star shop in Liuxing Street, a famous tourist attraction in Yining City, Xinjiang. The shop is a century-old shop that specializes in handmade ice cream of various flavors. The ice cream in the shop is not very sweet, a bit like sorbet, but with a richer taste and flavor. The biggest feature is that there are many different self-service ingredients that can be added to the ice cream yourself.

To be honest, the environment is nice and the taste is acceptable, but I think the price is a bit high. Some small alleys have the same taste of ice cream as this one, and you can enjoy it for only two or three yuan. The most important thing is that the employees' faces are full of "tired! tired! tired!" The employees I saw late on Sunday night can still be seen early on Monday morning. I asked around and rested for three or four hours!
⭕Kazanqi⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are many blue houses, which are very distinctive. There are some yogurt sellers, teahouses and shops renting ethnic costumes. ⭕Liuxing Street⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is generally cleaner than Kazanqi, and cars are not allowed to enter after 7 o'clock. There are also many places to take pictures. ⭕Food ❶Gulandam Ice Cream: Many people buy the classic original flavor of 9.9, and then add various small ingredients by themselves. There are super many people in the Internet celebrity store, but the queue is quite fast. The ice cream is better than that of Hotan Second Street in Urumqi. Zaxiangzi Noodle Soup: It is not particularly delicious but not thunder. It is quite standard. 26 per serving, with side dishes, noodle soup (cabbage, jelly blocks, mutton), oil cakes, and flower rolls. ❷Hazina Pastry: Because we went late, there were not many pastries. I bought apricot jam and yogurt bread with a strong wind. Because I was full, I tried a bite of apricot jam bread and didn’t like it. It was too sweet... I will comment after eating the yogurt bread. ⚠️A restaurant I really like: Mijiti Fast Food Restaurant The pilaf and fried meat noodles there are super delicious (not in Kazanqi and Liuxing Street) I feel that there is no need to deliberately check in at Kazanqi and Liuxing Street. If you come here to take ethnic photos, then you can. There are many restaurants, so you have to choose carefully...
Ok, this little red book style Yining December travel guide is here, help you turn the "sin experience" into a practical pit + real play sharing ~ Yining December pit avoidance & real experience guide | Don't rush blindly! sisters! Just returned from Yining "frozen", I really have to be mentally prepared to go in December! I sorted out the super complete avoidance pit + play method, and then decided whether to rush ~ 🔴 Let’s talk about the point of "suffering" first (must see the pit). 1. The weather is cold enough to suspect that Yining is basically in -10 ℃ to -20 ℃ in December. The wind blows like a knife to shave your face. The lashes will frost for 10 minutes when you go out. It is common for the mobile phone to freeze until the automatic shutdown. The warm baby should be covered. 2. Many attractions "half dormant" Kazanqi's blue house some shops closed, six star street drum shop, cafe opened very little, lavender fields only bare poles, Sailimu Lake basically frozen into ice, want to shoot "the last tear in the Atlantic" sisters will be disappointed. 3. The traffic is not very convenient. Some scenic spots can only be parked by direct trains. Going to Guozigou and Nalati can only be chartered. The price is 20% more expensive than the peak season. It may be closed in the snow, which will delay a lot of time on the road. 4. Many specialty shops will close in advance if you want to find roasted buns and noodles. You may have to run several places. There is basically no night market. If you want to eat supper at night, you can only rely on hotel takeaways. 🟢 But Yining also had "surprise" in December (reason worth rushing) 1. There are few people to contract the whole scenery of Kazanqi street. No tourists are crowded to take pictures, and they can slowly stroll around the blue alleys and chat with locals; there are few people in the accordion museum on Six Star Street, and they can quietly listen to a free play. 2. The sunset of the romantic Yili River Bridge in winter will dye the ice orange, and the snow in Kazanqi falls on the blue wall like a fairy tale. At night, you can see super bright stars, which is much less light pollution than the peak season. 3. Food is more "fireworks" can eat the old restaurants that locals often go to, mutton soup, lamb chops are cooked warmer than summer, the boss will give you double the meat, the skin of the roasted buns is crispy to the slag, the price is cheaper than the peak season. 📍 December Yining must-play list (avoid minefield version) 1. Kazanqi folk tourist area - play: go after 10 am, the sun shines on the blue house is the best, find a tea house open to drink milk tea, and learn to make Uighur flower hats with the boss. - Avoid the pit: Don't take the carriage in the scenic spot. December is too cold and it is more comfortable to walk. You don't need to buy a "pass". Most of the alleys are free to visit. 2. Six Star Street - Play: In the afternoon, go to the accordion museum, listen to an impromptu performance, and then go to the "Gulandam ice cream shop" to eat hot chocolate, warm your heart. - Avoid pits: Don't buy "handmade carpets" on the side of the road, many are mass-produced, you can buy handmade jam if you want to bring a souvenir. 3. Yili River Scenic Area - Play: Go to wait for the sunset at 4 pm, you can step on the snow on the ice (pay attention to safety), and take a "ice sunset" more atmospheric than the river view in summer. - Avoid pits: don't get close to the edge of the ice surface. The thickness of the ice layer in December is not enough, and it is easy to step on the empty. 4. Hanren Street Food Street- Play: Go to eat "rice intestines, noodles, lungs", "mutton soup" at noon, buy "peng pit meat" as a snack in the afternoon, and eat "Kazakh milk tea" with Baoersack in the evening. - Avoid pits: Don't buy "sky-priced fruit", there are fewer local fruits in December, and the price is more expensive than the mainland. 🔧 December to Yining must-have list - clothes: down jacket (more than 200g of down), plush punch pants, Leifeng hat, plush gloves, snow boots (non-slip + plush) - items: warm baby (sticking mobile phone, sticking body), charging treasure (more than 20,000 milliamp), thermos cup (loading hot milk tea), Anti-freeze cream - Other: cash (some small shops do not charge mobile phone payment), cold medicine (prevent cold cold) 💡 Last shreds of December Yining is not "not worth it", it is necessary to "play"! If you want to avoid the crowds and experience the quietness of winter, you can reap different happiness by keeping warm. ~ If you want to take pictures of the sea of flowers and visit lively attractions, you should wait for 6-8 to come back in the month! #Yining Travel #December Travel #Avoid pits #Xinjiang Tourism #Xinjiang Yining #Yining Tourism #Where to go in December #Yili Yining Six Star Street
