Yining People's Park

　　Yining People's Park is situated in the middle section of Aheymatjiang Street and the western end of Stalin Street in Yining. Also known as "West Park," it was established in 1937 and covers an area of 18 hectares. The park features ancient trees, lush flowers and grass, a tranquil environment, and a full range of recreational facilities, making it a great destination for visitors to relax and have fun.

　　Right in front of the park gate stands a large circular flower bed, where colorful blossoms vie for attention, seemingly welcoming every visitor. Surrounding the flower bed is a horseshoe-shaped woodland area dozens of meters wide. The tall, graceful trees set off the flower bed with waves of lush green, enhancing its beauty. Winding paths crisscross through the woods, inviting visitors to stroll at leisure. Following the two circular paths beside the flower bed and passing through the shaded woodland, you’ll cross a small bridge to find four straight parallel paths extending forward. Between the middle two paths lies a velvety green lawn, enclosed by hedges and dotted with evergreen pines and cypresses. The other two paths are lined with towering ancient trees on their inner sides, where benches offer a place for visitors to rest. At the end of the four paths is a circular fountain, whose rockery features several playful children — one of them cradling a big carp, symbolizing the happy life of the people of Yining and the wish for abundance year after year. Graceful weeping willows surround the fountain, some dancing like maidens, others shyly gazing like lovesick partners, creating a poetic atmosphere.

　　In the eastern part of the park, there is a large Ferris wheel. As visitors ride in the cabins, they gradually ascend, and when reaching the top, they can enjoy nearly panoramic views of Yining’s beautiful scenery — a truly delightful experience. In the middle section, there’s a simulated spaceship that gives riders the thrilling sensation of actually being in space. There's also the "Crazy Mouse" ride, which delivers genuine excitement and adrenaline. To the west lies a modern swimming pool — the perfect way to beat the summer heat. Further west is the zoo and a botanical garden covering over 100 acres, featuring greenhouses and hothouses. Here, exotic plants and flowers from around the world bloom in vibrant competition, especially the beloved roses of Ili, with over 100 varieties. During spring, summer, and autumn, the flower houses and fields burst into bloom — some pure white as jade, some bright red as fire, some golden as crystal, and others deep green as ink... Each flower displays its own charm in diverse poses: graceful, upright, elegant, carefree, proud, shy, contemplative... A sight that inspires endless admiration and makes visitors linger without wanting to leave.
