Exploring Xiata in Yili:An in-depth travel experience blending nature and culture
Detailed Introduction to Itinerary and Destinations
Xiata, located in Zhaosu County, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, was one of the most perilous passages on the ancient Silk Road. Today, it has become a nature reserve integrating snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, and rivers. With the backdrop of “Father of the Tianshan Mountains”—Khan Tengri Peak, the Xiata River meanders through, and the primitive spruce forests thrive, rich in naturally growing flora and fauna. It is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts and photographers.
Core attractions of Xiata include:
Xiata Ancient Trail:Once a vital passage connecting northern and southern Xinjiang, it now retains ruins of ancient post stations and traces of plank roads. Hiking here allows you to feel the weight of history.
Muzart Glacier:One of the largest glaciers in the Tianshan Mountains, with towering ice peaks and ice towers. In summer, you can closely observe waterfalls formed by glacial meltwater.
Flower Terrace:From June to July each year, wildflowers blanket the grasslands. Asters, globeflowers, and wild poppies bloom in competition, creating a vibrant sea of flowers.
Hot Spring Baths:The natural hot springs have a comfortable water temperature. Soaking after hiking can relieve fatigue and is one of Xiata’s unique experiences.

The scenic area is open from April to October each year, with June to August being the prime travel season when the grasslands are lush, the glaciers are active, and the weather is most stable.
