Xinjiang Yili Zhaosu not only has celestial horses but also horses stepping on flying snow

Zhaosu is rich in Pegasus horses and nomadic culture is popular here. Emperor Wu of Han was so happy after obtaining the Pegasus that he gave the horse, which originally had no name, the reputation of Pegasus.
This is also the birthplace of the idiom "unconstrained imagination".
⭕️Tour guide:
The Tianma Imperial River is very spectacular in summer, and you can also see Tianma walking on the snow in winter.
If you want to watch Pegasus stepping on the snow, you need to make a reservation 2-3 days in advance. Generally, only groups can enjoy this treatment. You can see the spectacular scene of several or even hundreds of horses rushing out.
⭕️There is no food and accommodation in the scenic area in winter, mainly because winter is the off-season and there are not many tourists.
⭕️There are no toilets along the way from Tekes County to Tianma Cultural Park (many service areas are closed in winter), and there is a restroom only at Baima Service Area (almost at the scenic spot). It is recommended to go to the restroom in the morning before departure. There are also toilets in the scenic area.
⭕️When watching the horses stepping on the snow, people can only stand outside the fence, so it is very safe.
