Tulugou Apricot Blossom Gorge | A timeless exclusive romance

| A timeless exclusive romance. On the north bank of the Gongnaisi River, there are more than 30,000 acres of original wild apricot forests. The valley here blocks the cold air from the northwest and welcomes the warm sunshine from the southeast, creating a moist and mild climate here. Under the unique natural environment, this wild apricot forest has survived from the 14th century AD to the present. Curious about this gift of time, looking forward to the grand scene of apricot blossoms blooming all over the mountains, so I came. At the beginning, seeing the valley full of black branches, I was a little disappointed. Climbing up the valley, when I reached the middle of the valley, a group of enthusiastic Kazakh sisters were singing and dancing, the loud and clear singing and graceful dance infected everyone on the scene, and my mood became cheerful. After climbing to the top of the valley, looking far away, at the foot of the continuous mountains, a wisp of cooking smoke slowly rose in the crisscrossing fields, and my mood became clear and open. Then, following the route of the horse team, I explored the Apricot Blossom Gorge deeply. After crossing one valley after another, I finally saw the blooming apricot blossoms. Although they were not in groups, they were enough to soothe the fatigue of climbing. Unconsciously, the sun began to set, and the whole valley became particularly soft. Under the warm sunset, the originally white apricot blossoms became tender, the green edge of the valley added a touch of warm yellow, I saw the romance of flowers blooming like brocade. In the magic of light and shadow, a "human grassland" was formed in the gully. The originally somewhat lost mood has now been filled with surprises. 📍Location: Turgun Township, Xinyuan County, Yili, Xinjiang 💰Ticket: 30 yuan/person ⏰Opening hours: all day ⏳Playing time: about half a day 🗺Play method: hiking/horse riding.
