🌙Night Tour Guide
✅ Yima Lane Food Tour
Head to "Eli's BBQ" at 7pm for the first batch of grilled meat. The lamb skewers with nang (a type of flatbread) are so good you'll want to lick your fingers.
✅ Runmin River Light Chasing Plan
Head to Runmin River Ecological Park at 8pm sharp! The evening breeze in May gently brushes the lake, and the sparkling waves are like crushed diamonds. Wear a light-colored long dress and stand sideways by the lake. Use a 5x zoom to capture the reflection, and your hair will be gilded with golden light, instantly turning you into a movie heroine~ The lights of the Rainbow Bridge are in the same frame as the sunset. Use long exposure to capture the streaks of light, and your social media will be instantly legendary.
Hotel location: Lavande Hotel (Kuitun Government)
It just opened and is already on my list of must-stay hotels in Xinjiang! The wood design extends from the lobby to the rooms. The warm colors are matched with geometric lines, and the smart home system can switch to vacation mode with one click (voice-controlled lights/curtains are amazing). The gym is open 24 hours a day, and the laundry room saves the "three outfits a day" photo-takers. The key is that it is only 10 seconds downstairs to Yima Lane, and 8 minutes by car from the high-speed train station, which is a joy for lazy people!
💡Travel Hacks
✅ High-speed train seat selection metaphysics: Urumqi → Kuitun, choose seat F by the window to capture the Tianshan snow peaks along the way.
✅ Sun protection is essential: The ultraviolet rays in Xinjiang are still online at 8pm. Ice sleeves + sun hat are more effective than sunscreen.
✅ Avoid the crowds: There are fewer people in Yima Lane before 6pm, making it easier to take empty shots.
✅ Prop rental: There are many clothing stores around the hotel where you can rent clothes. The atmosphere for taking pictures at the night market and by the lake is amazing.
📸Photo-taking tips
Take a side view by the lake, half-covering your face + lake reflection = lazy, cinematic nine-grid photos
