Kazakh Folk Culture Museum in Zhaosu County

The Kazakh Folk Culture Museum in Zhaosu County is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

The Kazakh Folk Culture Museum in Kaxgar Town was reconstructed from the former factory building of the Third People's Commune Agricultural Machinery Management Station in the county, with a total construction area of over 1,000 square meters and an indoor area of 860 square meters. In December 2013, with strong support from the county party committee and government, Kaxgar Town fully explored the architectural value of this industrial heritage site from the 1980s, preserving the shared historical memories of the local multi-ethnic people. While protecting the existing historical and cultural legacy, the original industrial plant was redefined, redesigned, and transformed, turning the vacant factory into a spiritual pasture for experiencing traditional Kazakh folk culture. The Kazakh Folk Culture Museum includes exhibitions on the overview of the Kazakh people, the Grassland Civilization Exhibition Hall, a series of exhibition halls showcasing Kazakh food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the Falconry Culture Exhibition Hall, the Woodcarving Art Exhibition Hall, the Handicrafts Exhibition Hall, the Ethnic Musical Instruments Exhibition Hall, the Kazakh Calligraphy Art Exhibition, the Historical Figures Oil Painting Exhibition, the Star Culture Exhibition, and the Kaxgar Rare Stones Resources Exhibition, all of which fully showcase the unique charm of the grassland culture in Zhaosu.

In December 2014, the Kazakh Folk Culture Museum in Kaxgar Town, Zhaosu County, was officially designated as a Red Tourism and Patriotic Education Base, becoming a highlight of rural cultural tourism.
