Admire the stunning Tianma River Valley in Xinjiang

#AdventurousTraveler

Zhaosu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, located in a river valley, was once a nomadic area of ​​the ancient Wusun Kingdom. It has unique geographical advantages - the unique beauty of the Tianshan hinterland and the profound grassland history and culture. One of the unique horse breeds here is the Ili horse, which can be regarded as the finest horse among the "celestial horses", and thus it is praised as the "hometown of celestial horses".

Every early summer, Ili horses would come to the river to drink water, bathe, play and fight at the urging of herdsmen, with groups of horses running on the waves. The changes of light and shadow are intertwined, and the water and horses are shaking with strength to attract the attention of tourists, as if watching a visual feast on the Milky Way - "Heavenly Horse Bathing in the River".

The sunlight at dusk on the banks of Tekes River and the herds of Pegasus complement each other. The endless beauty is refreshing and the scene is very shocking. It is definitely worth your visit.
