More beautiful than Japanese cherry blossoms! Featured on 'China National Geographic' for its stunning beauty

During March and April, as we enjoy the warmth of spring, the Ili River Valley enters its most romantic season. Here, apricot blossoms blanket the hills, and horses graze leisurely, creating a beautiful paradise on earth, known as the most beautiful April days in the world~ The vast apricot blossom forests in Turgene cover tens of thousands of acres, presenting a spectacular and majestic sea of flowers. Its frequent features in 'China National Geographic' are a testament to the breathtaking beauty of its spring. Best viewing times: Turgene Apricot Valley: Early to mid-April Daxigou: Blooms later, around late April The apricot blossom season is incredibly short, lasting less than a month.

Turgene Apricot Valley: Location: Turgene Township, Xinyuan County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Admission: 30 RMB Introduction: The Ili Apricot Valley is a vast primitive wild apricot forest dating back to the 14th century, concentrated on the north bank of the Gongnaisi River, covering over 30,000 acres. In mid-April, the apricot blossoms on the sunlit slopes of Turgene Township begin to bud and bloom. Visitors gather in Ili Apricot Valley to enjoy the blossoms and the spring, and indeed, the Ili apricot blossoms are peerlessly enchanting.
