New Choice for One-Day Tour in Ili:Unlock In-Depth Short Trips Around the City
🌄 【Route Highlights:Lesser-Known Secret Spots Away from the Crowds】
The tourism market in Ili will see new changes in 2026, with more and more tourists opting for short trips that feature “small groups, light outdoor activities, and immersive experiences.” The “One-Day Tour Around Ili City” launched by Xinjiang Trailblazer International Travel Agency focuses on “in-depth exploration + flexible adjustments” and connects three distinctive areas:
Sayram Lake West Coast Loop
Avoid the crowded east gate entrance where regular tour groups gather and enter from Huocheng County direction to the west coast. Along the way, you can enjoy ecological landscapes such as “Swans Enjoying Water” and “Kele Yongzhu.” In 2026, the scenic area will add three bird-watching platforms equipped with professional binocular rental services (20 yuan/hour), suitable for photography enthusiasts to capture the movements of swans, ruddy shelducks, and other waterfowl.
Upgraded Fruit Gorge Bridge Viewing Platform
The “Cloud Viewing Platform,” completed in May 2026, features a full glass walkway design, offering a 360-degree view of the magnificent sight of the bridge traversing through the Songshutou Mountains. The platform is staffed with professional guides who provide a循环 (recurring) introduction to the bridge’s construction story and the architectural wisdom of various ethnic groups every 30 minutes.
Huocheng Lavender Farm Experience
The peak blooming period is from late June to mid-July. The travel agency has partnered with local farmers to open “private flower fields” where tourists can participate in lavender harvesting, dried flower making, and other agricultural activities (including a material fee of 50 yuan/person). A 100g homemade sachet is gifted upon completion.
