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.

Kuerdening | A beautiful grassland that you can't miss when traveling in Yili.

Kuerdening | A beautiful grassland that you can't miss when traveling in Yili.

| A beautiful grassland that you can't miss when traveling in Yili. If you travel to Xinjiang in early May, don't miss Kuerdening. The grassland here is greener earlier, with both the beauty of the vast grassland and the beautiful and charming poetic picture scroll. There are not as many tourists here as in Narati, so you can play more enjoyable. 🌟 Qimengde Viewing Platform A very good-looking viewing platform, don't miss it, you can walk up and down, or you can choose to ride a horse up and down. 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.

Xinjiang | Heidi and Grandpa's matching log cabin

Xinjiang | Heidi and Grandpa's matching log cabin

| Heidi and Grandpa's matching log cabin. The enchanting Kuerdening, as if stepping into the world of Heidi and Grandpa, and it's even more cost-effective than the Alps. There are two ways to enter the scenic area: The first is by self-driving, where you can stop and take photos in all parking areas. If you plan to go to the Nalati scenic area for a visit afterwards, self-driving is the most convenient! You can enter from Zhonggou and exit from Donggou, where there is a fork in the middle of Donggou that leads directly to Xinyuan County, so there's no need to return to the entrance of Kuerdening scenic area. The drive from Xinyuan to Nalati is only about 40 minutes. The second is by taking the scenic area shuttle bus, and here's the nanny-level strategy! First, after arriving at the entrance of the scenic area, enter the tourist service center to buy tickets. On the right hand side is the restroom, and on the left hand side, after checking tickets, you take the shuttle bus, which departs when it's full. The first stop is the Ten-Mile Gallery. The second stop is the Bee Fragrance Station (similar to the previous stop in scenery). The third stop is Qimengde, where a round-trip horse ride takes about 1.5 hours, and walking takes about 2 hours. On the left hand side is the scenic area's horse team, and you will be led if you choose to ride; on the right hand side, you can see the wooden walkway. Follow the wooden walkway up to the viewing platform to take photos, then return the same way. Heidi and Grandpa's matching log cabin is at this stop, and after climbing the wooden walkway for 10 minutes, you can see it on the left hand side. The fourth stop is Ayusai, where the small viewing platform is optional. If you're short on time, it's not recommended to waste time at the first and second stops, just visit the third and fourth stops. Finally, take the shuttle bus out from Donggou to return to the entrance of the scenic area, which takes about 60 minutes.

Xinjiang Kurdening|This is not the Alps, this is Xinjiang Kurdening, breathtakingly beautiful

"If you know Kurdening, why bother with the Alps" is the slogan on the Kurdening travel brochure❗️With such a confident slogan, how could the scenery disappoint~🌲Forests, snow-capped mountains🏔️, grasslands, log cabins... it has all the elements of a fairy tale world, and everywhere you look is a picture🖼️ 🚘Self-driving route: Visitor Center➡️Zhonggou Ticket Checkpoint➡️Ten Mile Gallery➡️Fengxiang Station➡️Kafeng Base Camp➡️Qimengde Viewing Platform (must visit)➡️Ayousai Viewing Platform➡️Heritage Center Parking Lot➡️After parking (hiking) Tianshan Sleeping Buddha➡️(hiking/sightseeing bus) Spruce King➡️(hiking) Grassland in the Clouds 📸Photo spots: 📍Ayousai Viewing Platform: You can capture the hairpin turns of the mountain road and see the snow-capped Kababay Peak. If you go in mid-June, you can still see a bit of the snow-capped mountain, but by July it should be gone. 📍Qimengde Viewing Platform: To get to Qimengde, you need to climb over 2000 steps, and along the way, there are some log cabins where you can see the same type of log cabin as in "Heidi and Grandpa". 📍Grassland in the Clouds: You can capture the combination of grasslands and snow-capped mountains. ❤ Tips: 1️⃣The entire Kurdening Scenic Area is a one-way road‼️You drive straight without a chance to turn back. So make sure to note the parking spots. 2️⃣When navigating to Qimengde Viewing Platform, there is a "Y"-shaped fork near Kafeng Base Camp, one way leads to Qimengde Viewing Platform, the other to Ayousai Viewing Platform. Important❗️Because it's a one-way road, you must go to Qimengde first, then Ayousai❗️ 3️⃣You must park at the Heritage Center Parking Lot‼️Only after parking can you visit the three spots behind it. Remember to park at the Heritage Center! If you miss it, you'll drive straight to the exit. 4️⃣For self-driving, enter from Zhonggou Ticket Checkpoint and exit from Donggou Ticket Checkpoint. Although there are some unpaved roads, it's easier to drive than the road to Chaxi. ⛩️Navigation: Kurdening Scenic Area Visitor Center 🚌Transportation: It takes 1.5 hours to drive from Gongliu County 🚌Bus: There are 2-3 direct buses from Gongliu County Bus Station daily (about 1 hour) 🎫Tickets: 90/person (including shuttle bus), 60/person (self-driving) 🐴Horse riding🐴, about 80 per person ⏰Visiting hours: 10:00-20:00
