"Kazanqi" in Uyghur means "a person who makes a living by casting pots". The Kazanqi Folk Customs Tourist Area is located in the south of Yining City, and it is a large-scale original ecological cultural scenic area that mainly reflects the Uyghur folk customs of Ili. It is also the image window of Yining. Some households are specially open to tourists, and you can visit their homes with permission. The locals are very hospitable, and if you encounter a scene you want to photograph, you just need to greet them proactively. We met a few lovely little girls who were generous and elegant in front of the camera. Every household has a small chair at the door for sunbathing, and after walking around, we saw all kinds of combinations. Luxurious homes have outdoor courtyards, ordinary people might place an old sofa, and the simplest is just a piece of wood with a cloth laid over it. We merely passed through the ordinary lives of others, but it broadened our own inner world.

An old city cherished by time. Kazanqi in Uighur means 'people who make pots'. When the Uighurs migrated here from southern Xinjiang in the early days, most of them made a living from traditional handicrafts, with pot making being the majority. Although pot making was later replaced by mechanized production, many traditional crafts such as saddles, ironwork, and woodcarving are still preserved here. The sound of crisp bells can be heard from time to time on the streets of Kazanqi, which is the sound of horse-drawn carriages passing by. The horse-drawn carriage is an important means of transportation here, providing convenience for residents' travel, and has now become one of the ways for tourists to experience local life. The ding-ding-ding sound makes the old city young and lively. Blue is the first business card that most people know about Kazanqi. The buildings here still retain a relatively complete traditional style and pattern, and the main color is mostly blue. In a sea of blue, you will occasionally encounter different colors at the next corner. Bold and bright colors make people intoxicated in the charm of Kazanqi. Most of the houses here have flowers or trees in front of them. Under the careful care of the homeowners, the plants are full of vitality. Some houses have courtyards with large grape racks. Although it is not the season for grapes during the visit, you can almost see the fruitful summer. How can such a small city not move people's hearts, even time has stopped here, preserving the past handicrafts, horse-drawn carriages, and buildings to this day, people then infuse it with love for life, making it a paradise outside of concrete. 📍Location: Kazanqi Folk Tourism Area, Yining City, Yili, Xinjiang 💰Ticket: Free ⏰Opening hours: All day ⏳Play time: about 2.5 hours 【Suggestion】 🌟If you have time, you can go to Hanren Street to taste Xinjiang special delicacies. I recommend roasted buns and roasted chicken, which are very delicious 🌟The ultraviolet rays are strong, remember to do sun protection 🌟Respect local folk culture, if you want to visit local people's homes, greet them first 🌟The temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, it is recommended to prepare cold-proof clothing 🌟There are no walls here, it is an open area, you can choose to ride a horse-drawn carriage or walk, remember to prepare a pair of comfortable shoes for walking

In the Khorgas folk village of the old town in Yining, Xinjiang, take a seat on a beautiful and exquisite carriage, listen to the clip-clop of horse hooves and the crisp ringing of bells, and everything you see in the old town is as clear and elegant as the azure sky. Khorgas folk village is more of a living multi-ethnic lifestyle sample area than a tourist attraction. The variety of residential houses and folk customs dazzle the eyes, but blue seems to be a common belief, with exterior walls and windows mostly painted in highly saturated blue, matched with other colorful decorations, occasionally exaggerated but not lacking in aesthetics. European architecture, Sino-Western style houses, ethnic minority courtyards, and traditional buildings with a hundred years of history... all shine together here, no wonder Khorgas is also known as a natural 'residential museum'.
