The most recommended treasure ancient town around Urumqi

🏨 Daban City Ancient Town 🚉Transportation Guide: It takes about an hour to drive from Urumqi. Just navigate to 'Daban City Ancient Town' and you will arrive. The parking lot is quite large, enough for parking, and it's free. 💰Average Cost: Tickets can be bought in groups, 20 per person, children are free. ❤Recommended Reasons: The ancient town is not big. Bring some food and drinks, take a walk and take photos, bask in the sun, it's quite nice! 🌟Highlights: The ancient town originally had many small shops and scenes designed, but some were not open when we went. For example, on the right hand side when you enter the city wall, there is an embroidery building, which seems to be the kind where you throw an embroidered ball. 👍Most Recommended: In the town, follow the artificial river forward, there is a leather goods store, a general store (handicrafts, clothing, etc. of ethnic minorities), and a Wang Luobin Music Art Museum. At the end of the river, on the right hand side, there is an archery range. You can participate, and the cost is not expensive, 10 yuan for 10 arrows, it's all about the experience! In front of the archery range, there is also a pot throwing game, which is free and unattended, you can play by yourself. Further ahead, there is a camping site where you can rent tents. It's more suitable to play in summer. The site is quite beautiful, and there are little sheep that children can see. In front of the reed marsh, there is also a riding experience with horses and camels. 🍽Dining Recommendation: Opposite the archery range is the only place to eat in this small town. The dining place deserves special mention! Longmen Inn, the building looks very nice and has a great atmosphere! It offers a buffet with five or six dishes including stir-fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried wood ear mushrooms, and something similar to sweet and sour pork, plus rice. Next to it, you can eat the barbecue and pilaf made by a Uyghur uncle! The Uyghur uncle's barbecue and pilaf are very good! The vegetarian pilaf is 15 yuan per serving, the barbecue is 6 yuan, and the liver is 4 yuan, all in large skewers, and they are delicious! Highly recommended! 📝Attention Tips: Daban City is windy all year round, so check the weather forecast before traveling. Choose a time when the wind is not too strong for a better experience!
