Wusun Mountain

Wusun Mountain is a branch of the Tianshan Mountains, stretching from Yeshikeli Mountain in the east, through Aktas Mountain, Aentao Mountain, and Akeqiao Mountain in the middle, to Saertao Mountain in the west.　　

Also known as Temurlik Mountain and Alakar Mountain, Wusun Mountain has an elevation of 2,000–3,500 meters and serves as the boundary mountain between Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County and Tekes and Zhaosu counties. Since ancient times, it has been revered by the Kazakh herders, who followed water and grass, as a sacred mountain for "observing celestial signs, sensing the earth’s spirit, predicting weather, and forecasting harvests." Today, Wusun Mountain is one of Xinjiang’s top ten tourist scenic areas, attracting large numbers of domestic and international visitors every year.

From the low mountain hills at an altitude of 1,100 meters to the mid-high mountain zones at 3,000 meters, the valleys are filled with a rich variety of brightly colored wildflowers. Many rare birds and animals rest here. Among them, Xiaobole Valley is called the “Garden in the Mountains,” where flowers bloom all year round, offering extremely beautiful scenery.
