After living in Xinjiang for more than a month, I saw all kinds of colorful colors in Yili in summer, such as the blue of Sailim Lake and Ili dwellings, the green of forests and grasslands, and the white of snow-capped mountains and clouds.
The most impressive thing is the lavender limited purple that is only two months a year!
Speaking of lavender, Provence, France can be said to be famous, but with the same latitude of Xinjiang Huocheng is not lost at all, and Provence, France, Hokkaido, Japan and Furano are known as the world's three major lavender planting bases!
Huocheng County, belonging to Xinjiang Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture and located in the northwest of the Ili River Valley, is the largest lavender planting base in China, one of the world's eight well-known varieties, and is known as the "hometown of Chinese lavender"!
Every year in June and July, it is the peak season here, the lavender all over the mountains blooms neatly, as if falling into a sea of purple flowers, and the air is filled with the fragrance of lavender, which is really super dreamy and romantic!
And what is surprising is that this small city surrounded by lavender has the longest lasting music festival in the country - Lavender Snow Mountain Music Festival, which lasts for a whole month from 6.18 to 7.18 this year, and it can still catch up now!
@芳香霍城
The most important thing is that the food here in Huocheng is amazing! It not only gathers all the flavors of Xinjiang, but also has local characteristics.
Golden and translucent pilaf, tender and oily grilled buns, classic and rich chicken, oily meat noodles, tender and juicy lamb skewers...

Not only that, but there are also literary villages that are not inferior to Dali, cozy cafes, restaurants surrounded by lavender, and farmhouses renovated from their homes...

The skewer restaurant recommended by the locals has many dishes, a full range of dishes, and a good price, which is definitely a good place for supper.
