谢黄味小笼包🍡Strolling through the hexagonal streets, the melody of an accordion drifts from between the blue walls and colorful windows. Taking a bite of traditional ice cream, one can feel the vibrant atmosphere of a multi-ethnic community.
"Does the sound of the bayan still echo in Liuxing Street?" When this lyric went viral on short video platforms, I finally stepped into this colorful neighborhood, known as the "Little Bagua of the East," on a bright September morning, encountering a fairytale Xinjiang.
🌟 Ten Years of Transformation: From Historic District to Model of Happiness
Liuxing Street was built between 1934 and 1936, planned and designed by the German engineer Wassley. From an aerial view, six main streets radiate outwards from the center, forming a unique hexagonal street layout, affectionately known by locals as the "Little Bagua City."
As the *Yili Daily* stated in its series of reports on "Yili in the Past Ten Years": "The transformation of Liuxing Street is a beautiful and harmonious scroll of happiness."
This is not only an ancient neighborhood, but also a place where multiple ethnic groups live together and diverse cultures converge. The neighborhood is home to people from 13 ethnic groups, including Han, Uyghur, and Kazakh. The unique blend of their cultures creates a distinctive cultural landscape.
🔍 Escape the Mold and Experience Authentic Liuxing Street
1. Discover Hidden Music Corners
• Besides the famous accordion museum, keep an eye out for impromptu performances by folk artists in the streets and alleys. In Liuxing Street, you can listen to multi-ethnic bands or visit the "Music Courtyard," where folk artists often play traditional instruments.
• Tip: Head to the "Music Courtyard" on Friday evenings for special Russian folk dance performances with interactive elements.
2. Explore Undiscovered Shops
• In addition to the popular ice cream shops, Liuxing Street also boasts unique shops like the King of Thorn Fruit Ice Cream Shop and Mary's Art Cafe, waiting to be discovered.
• Tip: Strolling into those charmingly decorated courtyards without prominent signs often leads to delightful surprises. For example, at No. 25 Liguang Street, Ma Jianjun has transformed his home into a popular café and afternoon tea restaurant.
3. Experience Hands-on Activities of Intangible Cultural Heritage
• The intangible cultural heritage experience center in the area is particularly lively. Here, visitors can make jam by hand, experience making dombra (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), and prepare balm, among other activities.
• Tip: Gulenar Yimiremizi, a representative inheritor of the Yining municipal-level intangible cultural heritage projects of fruit leather and jam making, is in charge of the jam making project in the experience center. Here, each intangible cultural heritage project has a manager and instructor; you can experience the skills and buy the finished products.
4. Discover the Best Time and Angle for Taking Photos
• Best time to shoot: Early morning or evening. Liuxing Street is tranquil in the early morning, with people enjoying a pleasant time accompanied by the sound of accordions. The soft light in the evening is perfect for taking photos.
• Tip: Don't just focus on the main street. Side alleys and courtyards often have a more lived-in feel and are easier to capture unique photos. The vibrant colors of Liuxing Street act as a natural filter, making it perfect for travel photography.
⚠️ Important Tips to Avoid
• Closure Information: The Accordion Museum is closed every Monday. Please keep this in mind when planning your trip.
• Accommodation Booking: During peak season, guesthouses in the area are almost always fully booked. It is recommended to book 7-15 days in advance.
• Itinerary: The liveliness of Liuxing Street extends from day to night. At night, Liuxing Street is brightly lit and even more romantic. It is recommended to experience the night view at least once.
• Local Etiquette: Please respect the customs and traditions of the local ethnic minorities and dress and behave appropriately in public places.
✨ Travel Reflections
During my day in Liuxing Street, I strolled from dawn till dusk, watching the sunlight move across the colorful walls, listening to laughter in different languages, and tasting the unique flavors of various ethnic cuisines. Here, there are no hurried tourists, only travelers who slow down.
"Everything here is just right." As a local elder said, "The charm of Liuxing Street isn't in any particular attraction, but in the atmosphere of the entire area."
If you also want to escape the hustle and bustle for a while, why not stay in Liuxing Street for a few days? Here, every corner holds a surprise, and every encounter is a story.

The smell of toasted bread is so tempting, but it doesn't taste as good as it smells. I bought a pumpkin cheese bread for 28 yuan, which is really big. The next day, I went on a one-day tour of Nalati Grassland and relied on this bread to survive the whole day. I was given a paper bag and a plastic packaging bag, but I didn't put the bread in the plastic bag, I just wrapped it up and gave it to you.
