Most of the walls and doors are painted blue by the locals. I feel like that I arrive at another city, such as Chefchaouen in Morocco. You should never miss the fruits in Xinjiang which are sweet and big.

"Xinjiang Traveling - Kazanqi": Exploring the most exotic native areas in Xinjiang "Recommended": [Fu 5] "Coordinates": Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture Kazanqi Folk Customs Area, Yixiang Street, Yining City "Features": 1The number of Uighurs in Kazanqili is the largest. This ethnic minority may live in a romantic soul. In this mysterious colorful alley, there are full of surprises everywhere. 2The few ethnic celebrities here like colorful colors, and blue is the main color of the houses they built for hundreds of years, so a household here has a different blue color. Although the blue is amazing, it is not dazzling, but with a fresh and quiet. 3In the early morning, a group of people started to sweep the street, just a wall, or a door, is the best setting. There are fewer laughs in the alleys, seeing the courtyards that you like, pushing open the door, asking if you can take a photo, the hosts are enthusiastic, and then they have these photos. 4 Finally ended the journey of this colorful alley in the arms of a very polite twin baby. "Attention": The residents here are also very friendly, but it does not mean that you can enter the courtyard of other people at will. It is best to get the owner's answer before you take a photo.

Travel to Xinjiang's Kazanqi | A village brimming with exotic folk customs

"Kazanqi" in Uyghur means "a person who makes a living by casting pots". The Kazanqi Folk Customs Tourist Area is located in the south of Yining City, and it is a large-scale original ecological cultural scenic area that mainly reflects the Uyghur folk customs of Ili. It is also the image window of Yining. Some households are specially open to tourists, and you can visit their homes with permission. The locals are very hospitable, and if you encounter a scene you want to photograph, you just need to greet them proactively. We met a few lovely little girls who were generous and elegant in front of the camera. Every household has a small chair at the door for sunbathing, and after walking around, we saw all kinds of combinations. Luxurious homes have outdoor courtyards, ordinary people might place an old sofa, and the simplest is just a piece of wood with a cloth laid over it. We merely passed through the ordinary lives of others, but it broadened our own inner world.

Yining City, Xinjiang | Eating and drinking guide is here!

Yining has an airport, friends coming to Xinjiang can play and turn around in this colorful and delicious place~😍 1⃣️Kazanqi Folk Scenic Area: You can take a horse-drawn carriage🐎 for a ride inside, remember to bargain! There are many delicious foods in the alley, barbecue noodles ice cream... and various blue ethnic style small houses. There are also small pigeons at the door to take pictures, very beautiful~ 2⃣️Six Star Street: This is a relatively new attraction, and it is also some ethnic style buildings, with more shops. Gulandum ice cream🍦 must be tasted, with any small ingredients. There is also a Russian large leba bakery🍞, after eating Xinjiang cuisine, you can also taste Russian cuisine. Six Star Street is larger and there are some specialty shops, cafes and even vintage to visit. 3⃣️Yili River Lantern Festival: It seems to be the first lantern exhibition🏮, until March. It's quite big and well done, free entry. It's nice to go for a walk and take pictures at night. It's just a long way to go out. 4⃣️Zhuque Lake Park: Not far from Yining City, the lake is now frozen and you can play on the ice, rent a tire sled haha it's so fun, just tired😅 Of course, Xinjiang cuisine doesn't need to say much, noodles, big plate chicken, roast lamb, pilaf, fried rice noodles... No, I'm going to be greedy if I say it again, I can't eat enough, I can't eat enough!

The must-visit Kazanqi Folk Street in Yining!

⭕Kazanqi⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are many blue houses, which are very distinctive. Inside, there are some shops selling yogurt, as well as some teahouses and shops renting ethnic costumes. ⭕Six Star Street⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall, it is cleaner than Kazanqi, and cars are not allowed to enter after 7 o'clock. There are also many places to take pictures. ⭕Food ❶Gulandam Ice Cream: Many people buy the classic original flavor for 9.9, and then add various small ingredients. The internet-famous shop is super crowded, but the queue is quite fast. The ice cream is more delicious than that in Urumqi and Tian Er Street. Zaxiangzi Noodle Soup: It won't step on the thunder, but it's not particularly delicious. It's mediocre, 26 for a serving, with side dishes, noodle soup (cabbage, cold noodle pieces, mutton), oil cake, and flower rolls. ❷Hazina Pastry: Because I went late, there are not many pastries left. I bought the very windy apricot jam and yogurt bread. Because I was quite full, I tasted a bite of apricot jam bread, I didn't like it, it was too sweet... I will comment on the yogurt bread after eating. ⚠️A restaurant I really like: Mijiti Fast Food Restaurant The pilaf and oily meat noodles inside are super delicious (not in Kazanqi and Six Star Street) I feel that there is no need to deliberately check in at Kazanqi and Six Star Street. If you come to take ethnic photos, you can. There are many shops, choose carefully...

It's not Beijing, it's Xinjiang

Yining·Kazan The old street where residents live, every household's door and courtyard wall are pleasing to the eye In winter after the snow, there are few tourists, walking in the alley, occasionally meeting children playing in the snow, workers returning from shoveling snow, and the century-old shop at the end of the alley Time is slow, steps are slow...

Kazanqi | An old city cherished by time

An old city cherished by time. Kazanqi in Uighur means 'people who make pots'. When the Uighurs migrated here from southern Xinjiang in the early days, most of them made a living from traditional handicrafts, with pot making being the majority. Although pot making was later replaced by mechanized production, many traditional crafts such as saddles, ironwork, and woodcarving are still preserved here. The sound of crisp bells can be heard from time to time on the streets of Kazanqi, which is the sound of horse-drawn carriages passing by. The horse-drawn carriage is an important means of transportation here, providing convenience for residents' travel, and has now become one of the ways for tourists to experience local life. The ding-ding-ding sound makes the old city young and lively. Blue is the first business card that most people know about Kazanqi. The buildings here still retain a relatively complete traditional style and pattern, and the main color is mostly blue. In a sea of blue, you will occasionally encounter different colors at the next corner. Bold and bright colors make people intoxicated in the charm of Kazanqi. Most of the houses here have flowers or trees in front of them. Under the careful care of the homeowners, the plants are full of vitality. Some houses have courtyards with large grape racks. Although it is not the season for grapes during the visit, you can almost see the fruitful summer. How can such a small city not move people's hearts, even time has stopped here, preserving the past handicrafts, horse-drawn carriages, and buildings to this day, people then infuse it with love for life, making it a paradise outside of concrete. 📍Location: Kazanqi Folk Tourism Area, Yining City, Yili, Xinjiang 💰Ticket: Free ⏰Opening hours: All day ⏳Play time: about 2.5 hours 【Suggestion】 🌟If you have time, you can go to Hanren Street to taste Xinjiang special delicacies. I recommend roasted buns and roasted chicken, which are very delicious 🌟The ultraviolet rays are strong, remember to do sun protection 🌟Respect local folk culture, if you want to visit local people's homes, greet them first 🌟The temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, it is recommended to prepare cold-proof clothing 🌟There are no walls here, it is an open area, you can choose to ride a horse-drawn carriage or walk, remember to prepare a pair of comfortable shoes for walking

Kazanqi is an original large-scale humanistic scenic spot that reflects the folk customs of Yili, but in fact, there are not many tourists coming here, but it is a place I like here. Because the houses here have been painted in pink-blue tones, and the doors and windows here are quite ethnic, and they are in the streets, occasionally having the illusion of being in Chefchaouen, Morocco.

"Kazanqi", Uyghur means "casting pot for the industry". Kazanqi is located in the southern part of Yining City, the capital of Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. It is close to Hanren Street and People's Square. It is an original large-scale humanistic scenic spot reflecting the folk customs of Yili Uygur. It is the image window of Yining and the national 3A level tourism. Scenic spots, where you can eat, travel, travel, buy, and entertain, you can experience the rich "Xinjiang taste." The blue wall that I saw in a friend's travels, like the Chefchaouen, was originally from the Folklore Garden. Many dwellings have been painted with colored paint, and I like the blue wall most, and I want to take a picture everywhere. This street is not long, there are some special shops along the street, but we have come a lot early and have not opened the door. Visitors can take a horse-drawn carriage ride and it looks very interesting. Yining hand-made ice cream is very good, because the ingredients are pure, no flavor and other additives, so there will be a little bit of milky taste, this taste will be very delicious. I like this place very much. It would be a shame not to take the photos I wanted, but those beautiful pictures are already hidden in my memory.

In Yining City, there is the only Uyghur-style cultural area in northern Xinjiang, the Kazanqi Folk Customs Area, where you can see colorful walls and Uighur-style houses, as well as very nice to wear. Uighur girl. There is a traditional roasting buns at the street, and the Uighur brother skillfully mixes a large pot of meat, and the buns that are being baked in the steamer are smelling. The doors and windows of the streets and lanes in the folk village are mostly blue, and the sky is blue and pure. So there will be a feeling in Chefchaouen in Morocco. The appearance of the people here is generally different from South Asia and the Middle East. It does not look the same as the Han people. The children here can't help but want to call them holle, hahaha.

When I came to Yining, the Kazanqi Folk Village must be taken to see it. Kazan was originally a Uighur settlement with a cast pot. Nowadays, the faces of Uighurs are coming here. The buildings in the folk villages are mostly blue, sky blue and pure. The gorgeous architectural color will give people a visual impact, while the blue of Kazan is a kind of blue that makes people feel quiet. Wooden doors of various colors are always able to attract my shots. If you want to learn about the lifestyles of today's Uighurs, it is indeed a rewarding travel experience to come here. Early morning or evening is the best time to visit. At this time, there are few tourists, so you can swim in this lane. A kind old grandmother came out of the doorway and looked at our camera and smiled at us. Kazan has a lot of manned carriages, the carriage is long and a horse can carry 6-8 people. The carriage is also a means of transportation for the locals, and the exotic scenes always surprise you here. Figure 9 is bigger than my face. Its really too real. We didnt finish eating all the way.
