[Look at China along the highway] Xinjiang folk custom tourism is popular, tourists "fast forward and slow travel" to experience ethnic customs

  [Explanation] Play the accordion for hundreds of years and take a look at the Uyghur homestays full of carpets. Folklore tours have become a characteristic tour of Yining, a small border town.

  Located in Liuxing Street, Yining City, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, it is a local area where the Russian ethnic group live, and the accordion culture has been inherited from this.

The Alexandria Accordion Museum located here has become an online celebrity check-in point. The museum houses more than 800 antique-grade accordions from 27 countries, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists.

Visitors can not only listen to the live performances of performers, but also play these accordions in person.

  Gu Li Nisha, the person in charge of the scenic spot, told reporters that during the just-concluded May 1st holiday, the Six Star Street scenic spot received more than 20,000 tourists, and the tourism income was about 1.8 million yuan (RMB, the same below), far exceeding the same period last year.

  Then we also use music as the medium and scenic spots as the introduction.

Our Accordion Hall is a cultural business card of Yining City. It is also a highlight of our Six-Star Street. We interact with tourists and play the accordion. Our tourists and friends from all over the world have also felt our culture. Charm.

  [Explanation] The tourist Li Yijiang was stunned by the 800 accordions in front of him. He told reporters excitedly that he felt that Xinjiang was more suitable for traveling by car. The highways extending in all directions connected many famous scenic spots. He and his friends must come to Xinjiang again next year. Self-driving tour.

  The overall feeling is indeed that the whole Xinjiang scenery is more magnificent, and it feels more shocking.

Whether it is transportation facilities (facilities) or tourism facilities (facilities) as a whole, I think it is now relatively complete, and the overall play experience feels very good.

  [Explanation] In recent years, with the construction of Xinjiang’s “rail, land, and air” three-dimensional transportation network, tourists’ travel to Xinjiang has gradually realized “fast forward and slow travel”, and Xinjiang tourism has gradually emerged from the predicament of “long trips and short trips”.

Xinjiang currently has 22 general aviation airports, which is the province with the largest number of airports in China.

During the "May 1st" holiday, airports in Xinjiang have added a number of domestic and foreign air routes to meet the travel needs of tourists.

  At the same time, the high-speed rail in and out of Xinjiang is also speeding up.

In 2020, the Urumqi-Xi'an North EMU train of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway will run for the first time, and the whole journey will run for about 13 hours. Urumqi to Xi'an will arrive at the same time.

  In another famous folk custom experience spot in Yining City—Kazanqi Folk Custom Tourist Area, the reporter saw that the colorful traditional houses have their own characteristics, the laneways are full of tourists, and the cars on the streets are rubbed with the local characteristic horse-drawn carriages. Across the shoulders, each other is interesting.

  Heliman Awuti, the person in charge of the scenic spot, told reporters that according to preliminary statistics, during the May 1st holiday this year, the Kazanqi Folk Custom Tourism Zone received nearly 30,000 tourists every day, and the single-day tourism revenue has exceeded the highest value in previous years.

  There are really too many tourists, especially self-driving tours.

The income of one day during May 1st has exceeded the highest peak of previous years, and the income of the highest month in July and August has exceeded that.

  [Commentary] Heliman Awuti introduced that the tourist area will start the core area upgrading and renovation project in 2020, build a new tourist reception hall, expand the parking lot, and brighten the streetscape on the basis of maintaining the architectural style of the local residential buildings. A number of characteristic homestays and shops to meet the needs of tourists for food, lodging, play, fun and shopping.

  Ajiam Yizizi, who has lived in Kazanqi for more than 30 years, turned his courtyard into a guest house in 2009, with tall grape trellis, Uyghur flower hats, and unique blue walls in Yili. Visitors greeted the eyes and took pictures one after another, and Ajiyam Yizizi also enthusiastically explained the characteristics of Uyghur homestays to tourists.

  In the past few years, there have been more and more people year by year, our financial resources have also improved year by year, and our economic conditions have also improved.

  [Explanation] Agia Mu said that she looks forward to whether it is tourists who drive along the highway or those who come by plane or train, they can come to her homestay to stay.
