Yili River Ethnic Culture & Tourism Village

　　Yili River Ethnic Culture & Tourism Village is situated on the north bank of the Yili River along the New Ring Road in Yining City. Formerly called the orchard of Tashiku'ergan Township, it covers an area of over 80 acres. At the center of the park stands a 5-meter-high pavilion that can accommodate 200 people, serving as a primary venue for locals to host weddings, circumcisions, and other folk events. In addition, there are 16 smaller ethnic-style pavilions and 5 larger ones, including a music greenhouse that can host up to 400 visitors at once. Professional ethnic song and dance performers put on daily shows here, allowing both domestic and international tourists to enjoy distinctive performances showcasing Yili’s ethnic culture. The village also offers nearly 200 varieties of traditional cuisine from the Uyghur, Kazakh, Hui, and Uzbek communities.

　　The orchard's fruit trees provide shade from the summer heat. Here, visitors can not only admire the majestic sight of the westward-flowing Yili River but also experience Uyghur orchard culture. Upon entering Yili River Ethnic Culture & Tourism Village, you’ll be greeted by a paradise-like scenery, treated to unique ethnic songs and dances, and indulged with distinctive local flavors—all of which will make you linger and never want to leave.
