Huocheng

Huocheng is a beautiful and romantic place located in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. It has the largest lavender production base in China and the largest spice production base in Asia, and its output accounts for more than 95% of the country's total. Therefore, Yili, Xinjiang, the “Hometown of Lavender in China”, has long been recognized by its true name.

As early as 1960, the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in western Xinjiang began to introduce lavender. Since the Huocheng lavender producing area is at the same latitude as Provence, France, and has similar climate and soil conditions, it is very suitable for growing lavender. After years of hard work by Yili people, China's Xinjiang, together with France's Provence and Japan's Hokkaido, has become the world's three largest lavender planting bases and the largest lavender planting base in China.

The flower language of lavender is waiting for love. Its grass-leaf-shaped flowers are beautiful and elegant, the blue-purple inflorescences are long and beautiful, and its special aroma is mellow and rich. It is known as an "aromatic herb".

Enjoy the blue sky and beautiful scenery of Sailimu Lake. We stepped on the gas and came to Huocheng for a walk. In Huocheng at the end of July, it is already the last flowering period of lavender. Even the last beauty is always exuding a charming fragrance.

Yili is surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains on three sides. Not only does it have abundant sunshine, a humid climate, a large temperature difference between day and night, but also fertile grass, sweet water, and unique resources, which creates such a favorable growing environment for lavender. Moreover, lavender can be grown as a potted plant and has medicinal, edible and beauty effects!

The legendary history, ancient culture, rich national customs, and pure natural and pollution-free ecological environment outline beautiful pictures everywhere. Almost every household here is planting lavender, and during the flowering season there is an endless sea of ??lavender.

The best viewing time for lavender is June to July every year. By the end of July, most of the lavender has been harvested, leaving only a dozen acres of land for tourists to enjoy and take photos. Some lavender has entered the withering period, but Even if you just seize the last flowering period of lavender, you must also seize the beauty.

In the flower season, there is a large purple lavender manor. The most beautiful color when taking pictures is white. Wearing a long skirt, it looks very fairy and beautiful when taking pictures.

The last flowering period of lavender is about to usher in the harvest season of wheat fields. Ili, known as "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall", is colorfully decorated with yellow wheat fields.

After smelling the aroma of lavender and experiencing the tranquility of the lavender manor, we are now going to Nalati Prairie in Xinyuan County to enjoy a different scenery.
