Ili River

The most beautiful scenery in Yining is the Yili River. There are not many people passing by every day, but not too few either. After going to Han Street that day and eating lamb chops and lamb legs, I headed to the Yili River. I went to the Yili River several times but never encountered good weather. As a result, the hard work paid off. The Yili River was completely dark at nearly 10 o'clock (in August). After watching the scenery, I took a taxi back with my friends at 10:30 or 11 o'clock. It was not expensive to take a taxi in Yining, which was quite cost-effective. However, it is difficult to get a taxi on the Yili River. You have to walk one kilometer to the intersection, or you can choose a small truck or tricycle.

The river water is clear and refreshing. It is very comfortable to step on the stones in the river. Xiao Yang picked up a beautiful stone. It feels smooth and translucent green. It may be a piece of jade!

The Ili River has a nice view and is a good place to watch the sunset. There are well-maintained roads and wooden plank roads along the river. The scenery is beautiful at dusk and many people walk and exercise here.

The Ili River, the mother river of Yining, is an international river spanning China and Kazakhstan.

The flowing Ili River is beautiful and peaceful, very nice

The Ili River is an inland river in central Asia and an international river that spans China and Kazakhstan.

It was almost 10 o'clock when we parked the car by the Yili River. The sun was still hanging in the sky and there seemed to be no sign of setting.

Standing on the bridge and looking at the Yili River, the water level of the river is already very low, with most of the riverbed exposed. There are many people standing by the bridge and in the park waiting for the sunset.

At 10:20, the sun began to slowly sink

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the sparkling water, which reminded me of the poem "Song of the Dusk River" by Bai Juyi: A ray of setting sun spreads across the water, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red... It seems to be quite vivid.

Compared to the brightness and hope brought by sunrise, the warmth and beauty brought by sunset are irresistible.

The Ili River is an inland river in central Asia and an international river that crosses China and Kazakhstan. So in a sense, this place is still commemorative! Especially when the sun sets at night, the photos taken are really great!

The sunset was quite beautiful. We went to the old place, which was behind an amusement park. The map navigation was a bit inaccurate, so we had to go nearby and ask the police for directions.

An inland river in Central Asia, an international river that crosses China and Kazakhstan. The main source of the Ili River, the Tekes River, originates from the north side of the Khan Tengri Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, flows eastward through the Zhaosu Basin and Tekes Valley in Xinjiang, China, and then flows northward through the Ishgelik Mountains. After merging with the right bank tributary Gongnaisi River, it is called the Ili River. It flows westward to the Khorgos River and enters Kazakhstan, flows through canyons and desert areas, and flows into Lake Balkhash in Central Asia. From the source of the river to the mouth of the lake, the total length is 1,236 kilometers, and the basin area is 151,000 square kilometers, of which the river is 442 kilometers long in China and the basin area is 5.6 square kilometers.

The road is shaded by green trees, and cattle and sheep are scattered like pearls in the woods and on the grass slopes.

The sunset over the Yili River is very stunning and indescribably beautiful.

I heard that this is an international river that flows from east to west, and will eventually flow to Kazakhstan and into Lake Balkhash. I got off the car to take a look, and it was indeed true.

There is a dense poplar forest beside the river, which must be beautiful in autumn.

Going further, you will find that the two sides of the river have two completely different appearances.

The riverside is shaded by green trees and dotted with flowers. Cars are coming and going on the Yili Bridge, which is an excellent place to take pictures of the sunset. "Yi Bridge Sunset" has become a good subject for photography enthusiasts. It has also become a place for many newlyweds to take wedding photos.

Following the trend of outdoor travel, we came to Xinjiang

Traveled through Inner Mongolia

Visited Arshan

Enjoy the scenery outside the Great Wall

Experience the grassland

The guide's explanation gave me a deeper understanding

Tasted many local specialties

Make many friends

It was a great trip.

At dusk on October 5, 2017, we were traveling on National Highway 218, passing by a field of sunflowers, which were bright yellow and dazzling. We saw some people driving by themselves, but unfortunately the tour guide said that it was getting late and we had to hurry into the city to stay overnight.

On the way, we passed the Ili River Valley and watched the clear river meandering around the meadow and flowing slowly to the north. This is the Ili River, which irrigates hundreds of acres of fertile fields nearby. Ili, as an important granary in Xinjiang, also benefits from this Ili River. It flows through Horgos to Kazakhstan.

The tour guide didn't want us to get off the bus at first, but because of the traffic jam, he made an exception and let us take a few photos. Unfortunately, it was dark and we didn't get to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.

There are pebbles on both sides of the river bank. If you are lucky, you can find jade. Unfortunately, our journey still has 10 days, so it is impossible to take these beautiful stones on the road. We can only leave some traces of them.

I always thought the water of the Yili River was very clear, but I was disappointed when I saw it there. The water was actually yellow, almost the same as the Yellow River. There was no beautiful scenery on the shore either.

There is construction going on near the bridge. Security is at its tightest at sunset.

It will be particularly beautiful to take pictures of the sunset. There are horses to ride. You can go to Yili, Xinjiang to see it.

It is a river in the city of Yili, which is especially suitable for watching the sunset. It is very beautiful.

Very beautiful! The air is very good. It is the city with the best air I have ever been to.

By the river, I met a group of Kazakh friends having a wedding party. Everyone was singing and dancing, it was very lively.

There are a lot of people in the summer, the mother river of the Yili people

I walked around Yining city, but it was already 12 o'clock. I thought that Yining city would have traffic restrictions from 1:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon, and I needed to drive out of the restricted area during this period. Fortunately, the scenic spot I wanted to visit - Yili River Scenic Area was outside the restricted area. I followed the navigation instructions and passed through the entire Yining city and came to Binhe Road.

But I was a little confused when I got there, because the place shown as a scenic spot was actually a large amusement park. It turned out that you had to pass through the amusement park to see the Yili River Scenic Area.

After passing through the playground, I found that it was indeed the Yili River. I don't know why, the river is not very big, and a large part of the beach is exposed. After going down the plank road on the riverside, I came to the riverside. There is actually a pier on the riverside, so there is a sign next to it to prevent people from swimming nearby. However, there are still many children playing on the riverside, and many children are soaking in the water. Children's happiness is always so simple.

The Ili River Bridge next to it looks very ordinary, but when it was first completed, it must have been a sensational event. However, as time passed, the star of that year gradually became silent and became a part of life.

There are horses and camels under the bridge for people to ride and take photos. There are also rocking chairs decorated with flowers on the plank road, but it costs 2 yuan to sit on them and take photos.

It’s a pity that the time was wrong. It might have been more beautiful if we had watched the sunset, but that’s how travel is, it’s impossible to be perfect.

I like to go to the scenic area after dinner. The surrounding scenery is quite nice.

The Ili River is still worth a visit. After all, it is not far from the city. It only costs 15 yuan to take a taxi. There is also a Ferris wheel next to it. Although new bridges are being built around it and there is not much water in the river, it is quite artistic to stand on the Ili Bridge and watch the sun slowly set. November 23, 2017

Next to it is a small amusement park, and there are local children swimming by the river. It's a little dirty, but it's nice to watch the sunset on the bridge.

I stayed in Yining for two days in late August. On the first day, I walked along the Ili River in the evening. The river seemed to be drying up. It was said that this year was the dry season. What a pity. There is an amusement park by the Ili River. The equipment looks very simple. The carriageway and sidewalk on the Ili River Bridge are also relatively narrow. There are 3 or 4 girls taking pictures of the sunset on the bridge. We didn't stay there for too long. There was really no scenery to speak of. On the second day, we set off from Yining in the afternoon and passed through the upper reaches of the Ili River. The scenery was beautiful. Many people took pictures on the viewing platform.

The main source of the Ili River, the Tekes River, originates from the north side of the Khan Tengri Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, flows eastward through the Zhaosu Basin and Tekes Valley in Xinjiang, China, and merges with the Gongnaisi River, a tributary on the right bank, to become the Ili River. The upper reaches of the Ili River are mountain rivers. Above the Ilihe Village, the river is winding and flows through a wide valley with many swamps and lakes. Below the Ili Village, it enters the rocky Kangchagai Gorge that crosses the Kaloy Highlands, and then enters the Kapchagai Gorge, where the famous Kapchagai Hydropower Station is built. The Ili River is beautiful at sunset and is worth a visit.

When you come to Yili, you must visit the Yili River, the scenery is especially beautiful at sunset!

The Ili River is the mother river of Yining, and the sunset over the Ili River is one of the most beautiful sights in Yining. It was already 9:30 when we arrived at the bridge, and the sun was still high in the sky, with no sign of sunset. There were many pedestrians on the bridge and on the shore, including many tourists like us who came from afar, and even more local citizens who came just to enjoy the beauty of the sunset. The speedboat under the bridge was running in the water, accelerating and turning sharply, which looked thrilling and exciting.

The Yile River originates from a cross-border river in my country. I have visited three of its tributaries, the Tekes River, the Gongnaisi River, and the Kashi River. The Yili region, nourished by the rivers, has naturally become a small Jiangnan. Rice is grown in this place.

Look at the yellow petals and purple stamens, their spirited glory; the green smoke and verdant mist, adding a touch of splendor.

The Ili River is much inferior to other places in Xinjiang, but it is still a very famous river. In fact, as long as the word "Ili" is mentioned, I will yearn for it very much in my heart.

The Ili River is located in the Ili region of Xinjiang. It originates from the Tianshan Mountains and flows westward out of the national border. It is a famous inland river in Xinjiang.

The Yili River is not the long and narrow river I imagined, but a broad and flat river with yellow and muddy water.

When you visit here in autumn, it should be golden and beautiful.

Going up the river, the scenery along the way is still very good

Because it was too cold, we didn't wait until sunset, but the scenery was great.

The Old Bridge is more ideal for watching the sunset than the New Bridge. It is said that you can often see Uyghur weddings on weekends.

Am I opening it the wrong way? Is the Ili River like this?

Before I came to Yili, I had heard about the spectacular beauty of the Yili River. Today, after dinner, I walked to the Second Bridge of the Yili River just in time for sunset. I have never seen such a beautiful sunset. Although there were no clouds covering it... I couldn't help but keep praising it.

I also chose to take pictures of the sunset over the Ili River based on the comments of bee friends online. Now parks have been built on the south and north banks of the Ili River with very good environments. It is also a good place for Ili people to take a walk after dinner. As for taking pictures of the sunset over the Ili River, we have seen many pictures of the sunset over the Ili River which are indeed very beautiful, but not every one of us can take pictures of it. One is that the weather has a certain influence. Second, the performance of the shooting equipment also depends on the generation of high-quality photos. Third, the professional and technical level, as well as the best time to shoot, are determined by many factors. The Ili River is not far from Yining City. The city buses No. 2 and No. 7 pass by and arrive at the Ili River Bridge. If you have time, it is still worth a visit to Ili.

The Ili River is an inland river in central Asia and an international river spanning China and Kazakhstan.

The desert is filled with smoke and the long river is filled with the setting sun. You must go and see the sunset by the Yili River.

It is right next to the bridge, with many vehicles and pedestrians passing by, so please pay attention to safety. The river view at sunset is very good and it is also a playground.

There are two bridges over the Yili River, the new bridge and the old bridge. The riverside park is crowded with people. The parking lot is far away.

It is suitable for watching the sunset on the Yili River Bridge. It is said to be the only river in China that flows from east to west. Other places are generally fun.

The Ili River is an inland river in central Asia and an international river that crosses China and Kazakhstan. It is a great place to watch the sunset. With the government's attention, the green landscape along the river is becoming more and more complete. If you have the leisure time, you can stroll along the river, eat handmade ice cream, take a speedboat, etc.

It is such a wonderful thing to wait for the sunset by the Yili River

The embankment is a bit long, so you can take a sightseeing bus. It would be really tiring to walk by yourself, but you can carefully appreciate the scenery along the way.

There are green apple trees along the way, you can eat whatever you want; eat the special 3 yuan ice cream, and take pictures of the sunset over the Ili River flowing westward at 22:00, perfect!

I passed by on the way to Zhaosu. I saw a lot of people, but because I passed by in the afternoon, I felt it was average. It is said that it is good to watch the sunrise.

After returning from Sailimu Lake, we drove directly to Yining. At 10 o'clock in the evening, we found that the sun was still high in the sky, so we prepared to go to the Yili River to watch the sunset.

The Ili River Bridge has a particularly high status in the hearts of Yining people. Every evening, ethnic minority men and women hold weddings here. We did not encounter any weddings on the day we arrived, but there were more special police than people, and more people taking pictures than cars on the bridge.

Although the scenery is nice, it is not a must-go. I bought an ice cream nearby and ate it while watching the sunset. It was a good atmosphere.

The Yili River Bridge is the first modern bridge in Yili. I have seen many photographers standing here to take pictures of the sunset, with the whole sky swept by orange. It's a pity that we were unlucky on the day we went there, and the weather was not good, so we didn't appreciate the stunning and beautiful picture.

On one side of the river is a park and riverside trail, and on the other side is an amusement park. For the city, this is a good place to relax, but to say it is "the most beautiful sunset in China" is a bit of an exaggeration. The bridge is not majestic, and the stunning index of the sunset also needs to be evaluated in combination with the weather and mood. Lower your expectations, hold a normal mind, and come to the bridge to relax for a while if you are lucky.

The sunrise and sunset in Yili are extremely beautiful, and Sailimu Lake and Tangbula are also good attractions.

I haven't seen my old Ma since we graduated. I went to visit her last year and she was so happy with her big white teeth, haha..............

We went to the Yili Bridge. The sun was shining, the weather was not hot, and the roadside was beautiful.

Walk there at night. Living by the Ili River, you don't have to worry about taking a taxi back after sunset. The cute little loli next door

The youth hostel nearby told me that the sunset time was 9:12. I walked over and just caught it. The sunset over the Yili River was magnificent and beautiful. The sunset glow after sunset was also very charming.

The Ili River is very popular among the locals. When we went there, we saw many people playing. It was the first time I saw so many people at the same time in Xinjiang. It is said that the Ili River is the traditional holy place for marrying brides and holding wedding ceremonies. Unfortunately, I didn't see it at that time.

Perhaps it is the rushing waters of the Ili River that gave birth to the simple and kind-hearted Ili people... I didn't catch the magnificent sunset over the Ili River, but when the weather is good, you can enjoy the beauty from any angle!

The Ili River in winter has a special flavor. The withered reeds are particularly beautiful against the backdrop of white snow. The sky is still blue and white! The ice on the river is thick enough to walk freely. The scenery is picturesque.

Many Uyghurs are playing by the river, it's generally OK

I took a photo of the Ferris wheel on the Ili River Bridge. There were a lot of people.

1. Tour experience: Relatively speaking, the scenery of the Ili River is not the most amazing place in Ili, but Ili has become beautiful and full of legends because of the Ili River. When we went there to play, many newlyweds would take their commemorative photos here. Later, I heard that the old man told the love story here. In the hearts of Ili people, this is the birthplace of love. The Ili Bridge crosses the Ili River. The trees on both sides of the Ili River are really lush and beautiful. You can see the sparkling waves on the Ili River. It is not the big rivers in the north of the north, nor the quaint and elegant small towns in the south, but a kind of quiet and peacefulness unique to the northern frontier, neither noisy nor silent.

2. Recommended time to visit: It is best to come to the Yili River at sunset. The sunset scenery here is absolutely beautiful and stunning. I still remember the first time I came to see the sunset. Looking at the light on the lake and the scene at sunset, I was amazed and shed tears. It is true that only nature can bring such beauty.

You can also rent a bicycle nearby and ride along the entire Ili River. What you want here is not a hurried but a peaceful trip.
