Introduction Horse Riding in Ili

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Yili, a shining pearl in Xinjiang, has become the first choice for countless horse riding enthusiasts with its unique natural scenery and rich horse riding experience.

Enjoy the grassland scenery: The grasslands of Yili are like green brocade, with wild flowers scattered like stars, contrasting with spruce forests and snow-capped mountains. The horses galloped on the rolling hills, overlooking the Koksu Grand Canyon, and the river meandering through the earth, showing its majestic grandeur.

Riding on the dreamy snowfield: In winter, Yili is covered in silver. Horses’ hooves tread on the snow, creating an ethereal rhythm. In the distance, smoke rises from the Kazakh yurts, creating an exotic atmosphere that makes you feel like you have entered a snowy fairy tale.

Complete safety guarantee: Most of the coaches in Yili are local Kazakh riders. They have been dependent on horses since childhood and are familiar with the temperament of horses. They patiently teach cold-proof techniques before riding, keep a close eye on the horses throughout the ride, and use their superb skills to ensure safety. The helmets and protective gear they are equipped with meet the standards of severe cold regions, and special personnel will assist in standard wearing. Let you move forward without fear.

Diverse supporting facilities: The Yili horse farm is equipped with dressing rooms, rest areas and dining areas,and serves special delicacies such as roasted whole lamb and mare's milk, where you can enjoy the flavor of Yili while feasting on them; there are also wonderful Kazakh equestrian performances regularly, with riders riding horses with vigorous postures and whipping them, and traditional horse-drawn sleighs to take you to enjoy the scenery and immerse yourself in the joy of Yili horse riding.

When you swing up onto a horse and set foot on the magical land of Yili, the snowflakes splashed up by the horse's hooves and the fragrant grass trampled underfoot will all turn into the most touching poems deep in your memory.

In Xinjiang | A sparsely populated little grassland

In Xinjiang | A sparsely populated little grassland

The forest hidden in dreams, when it's crowded during the summer vacation, I chose this early May to come to Xinjiang! Today I'm sharing a travel guide for Qiaxi, please see the details below: 1. Admission: 30/person (I think it's really worth it) 2. Self-driving: Driving the Qia Chat loop requires an SUV/off-road vehicle, sedans need to transfer to a shuttle bus, and all the beautiful scenery is on this stretch, very beautiful! 3. Photography location: Inside Gongliu County Qiaxi Forest Park 4. Opening hours: 9:00-20:00 It's recommended to go after 15:00, the light from 7-9 pm will be softer, and waiting for the sunset will be even more beautiful! However, you need to return the same way, and there are no street lights - Qiaxi Loop Attractions 1. Qiaxi Scroll: Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, valleys, waterfalls, cattle and sheep, it's like stepping into a Miyazaki Hayao manga 2. Tarim Grassland: There are grasslands and forest valleys, the spruce trees deep inside are taller and denser, giving a sense of depth 3. Observation Deck: From here you can overlook the entire panorama of Qiaxi 4. Shimen Waterfall: The scenery is nice, but the temperature is low, and there is no signal, so be prepared before you go 5. Swallow Bridge: The most beautiful mountain grassland stands at Swallow Bridge - Transportation Tips! 1. There is no public transportation here, you can only drive yourself, and the roads are not very good. 2. Qiaxi self-driving cars are limited to 1500 per day (according to the team leader) 3. Non-off-road vehicles cannot drive inside 4. You need to make a reservation in advance on the public account 5. The roads in Qiaxi are difficult to navigate, and it can be slippery when it rains! ✔️Photo Spots: The scenery is beautiful all the way, you can take pictures at any time, and the success rate for good photos is very high! The observation deck lives up to its name, it's like a scroll unfolding before your eyes, and it's also nice to take a few steps down the boardwalk to take pictures. A little further from the observation deck towards the Tarim Forest Park is the grassland and spruce forest, which is also very beautiful. ✔️Outfit Sharing: Light-colored dresses! For example, light blue, white, pink dresses all make for great photos, ethnic style, denim style! Martin boots, mid-calf boots, hats, sunglasses, horse-face skirts, etc. are all good choices.

🌟🌟Route planning There are two ways to hike the Kalajun route: √forward and √reverse. Forward means starting from Qiongkushitai and hiking all the way to the east to Kurdening to complete the entire hike; reverse means hiking in the opposite direction, which has a larger climb. Generally, gather in Urumqi or Yining, charter a car to Tekes County (the last supply point before entering the mountain), and then go to the village at the starting point of the hike. If you have other plans, you can choose to end in Yining, not return to Urumqi, and continue the next trip. ▉ Reference itinerary for the Kalajun Grand Loop DAY 1 From all over the country to Urumqi to Yining DAY 2 Yining City to Tekes to Qiongkushitai DAY 3 Qiongkushitai to West Kalajun Grassland DAY 4 West Kalajun Grassland to East Kalajun Grassland DAY 5 East Kalajun Grassland to Tarim Grassland DAY 6 Tarim Grassland to Qiaxi Grassland DAY 7 Qiaxi Grassland to Mohuer Grassland DAY 8 Mohuer Grassland to Kurdening to Yining City to Urumqi DAY 9 Urumqi to all over the country ▊ Reference itinerary for the Kalajun Small Loop DAY 1 From all over the country to Urumqi to Yining DAY 2 Yining City to Tekes to Qiongkushitai DAY 3 Qiongkushitai to West Kalajun Grassland DAY 4 West Kalajun Grassland to East Kalajun Grassland DAY 5 East Kalajun Grassland to Tarim Grassland DAY 6 Tarim Grassland to Yining City to Urumqi DAY 7 Urumqi to all over the country ▋ Reference itinerary for reverse DAY 1 From all over the country to Urumqi to Yining DAY 2 Yining City to Kurdening to Sukolen Grassland DAY 3 Sukolen Grassland to Qiaxi Grassland DAY 4 Qiaxi Grassland to East Tarim Grassland DAY 5 East Tarim Grassland to West Tarim Grassland DAY 6 West Tarim Grassland to East Kalajun Grassland DAY 7 East Kalajun Grassland to West Kalajun Grassland DAY 8 West Kalajun Grassland to Qiongkushitai to Yining City DAY 9 Yining City to Urumqi 🌟🌟Kalajun Grand Loop itinerary Here is a description of the 9-day Kalajun Grand Loop.

We chose to ride a horse to the viewing platform and then walk down. 🐎 The horse riding fee is CNY 80/hour. One way only costs CNY 80. 💰 Scenic spot ticket: CNY 60 ❤️ If you come in early May, remember to take a look at the apple flowers on the way.
