2026 Ili Travel Photography Picks | Tekesi Wusun Mountain · Yijia Wild Luxury Hotel

Heading to Ili in 2026, I sincerely recommend the Yijia Wild Luxury Hotel at the foot of Wusun Mountain. It doesn’t have flashy decorations; the houses made of natural wood and stone are nestled among pine forests and meadows. Just open the window to see the morning light and sunset over Wusun Mountain. You don’t need to find a special angle—every shot naturally captures the wild luxury vibe. The hotel’s rooftop and courtyard are perfect for photos. In the early morning, the sea of clouds flows over the ridges. Standing on the terrace to shoot a back view, with the breeze brushing your clothes, even the air feels leisurely. In the evening, sitting around the bonfire with warm light reflecting off the distant snow-capped mountains, holding a hot milk tea in your hands, the scene is gentle and healing. From the hotel, it’s 30 minutes to Kalajun Grassland to see the sea of flowers, 1 hour to explore Tekesi Bagua City, 2 hours to Shata Tourist Area to see glaciers, and 3 hours to Sayram Lake to chase the blue lake. The owner thoughtfully shares insider photo spots and flower season tips. Staying here, you don’t have to rush your travel photography schedule; it’s comfortable and relaxed, truly a memorable good time in Ili.
