September 16, 2024 Day 26: Sailimu Lake-Guozigou Bridge-Horgos About 2 kilometers from the south gate of Sailimu Lake is the Guozigou Archway and Guozigou Bridge Observation Deck, the first sight in Ili. You can go down to the bottom of the valley along the road and look up at the entire bridge. Horgos Port is the starting and ending point of the Yiho Railway, the Lianhuo Expressway, the 312 National Highway and the China-Central Asia Natural Gas Pipeline. In the National Gate Cultural Exhibition Hall, you can learn about the design and changes of the National Gate over several generations; learn about the historical stories of the capital of Alimari, Princess Xijun, and Zeng Jize seeking food from a tiger's mouth. On the left hand side after exiting the museum, there is stone tablet No. 18 of the Qing Dynasty, the first national gate in the west - 324 (1) boundary monument. You can only view it from a distance in the direction of the boundary monument, and you cannot take pictures. The Central Asian Style Street Old Hui Braised Subs, Pickled Cabbage Vermicelli Pork, Dry Stir-fried Noodles, etc. are light and delicious, fragrant but not spicy. Day 27 (September 17): Horgos The China-Kazakhstan International Cooperation Center Scenic Area consists of the China-Kazakhstan Cooperation Center, the National Gate Scenic Area, and the Central Asian Style Street. Two bus stops from the entry-exit hall are the check-in points for the red and blue lines at the national gate, allowing you to travel to both countries with one foot. Crossing the red line is the border of Kazakhstan. The sightseeing bus will circle the Kazakh area to visit the boundary monument, Kazakh Bridge, mosques, the former Soviet Union gate and buildings and other landscapes to appreciate the exotic scenery. Tips 1. Navigate to the Guozigou Bridge Observation Deck, otherwise you will go directly to the bridge and cannot stop for viewing. 2. Cross the border directly with your passport and Mainland China ID card; if you don’t have a passport, you can apply for a pass with your Mainland China ID card, which costs 15 yuan per person. You can enter and leave the country once a day with your passport; the pass can only be used once and must be collected upon entry. 3. Sightseeing cars in scenic spots cost 10 yuan per person, and public buses cost 2 yuan per person.
