Yining City, located in the middle of the Ili River Valley, is an ideal transit point to attractions like Sayram Lake, Nalati, and Kalajun. In the city, the blue-and-white buildings of the Kazanqi Folk Area, the artistic shops of Liuxing Street, and the sunset at the Ili River Bridge are all suitable for a slow-paced experience.

Altay to Urumqi is about 700 km, via G216 or G3014 expressway, taking 8–10 hours;
Urumqi to Yining is about 700 km, via Lianhuo Expressway (G30), taking 8–9 hours;
