Exploring the Hidden Gems of Ili: In-Depth Exploration of Tekes Bagua City + Comprehensive Guide to Aerial Photography Hotspots
🌿 [Key Highlights:Discover the World’s Bagua City]
As the world’s most intact Bagua-patterned city, Tekes Bagua City is designed based on the “acquired diagram” of the I Ching (Book of Changes), with eight main streets radiating outward and a Taiji Altar observation deck at its center. This ancient city without traffic lights transforms into a unique geometric aesthetic landscape at night when the lights illuminate, with streets intertwining like a galaxy. Recent aerial photography data from 2026 reveals three new observation platforms around the city, offering more complete views of the Bagua outline alongside snow-capped mountain reflections.
