Step into a living painting this summer as northwest China’s Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture transforms into a sea of lavender purple. From the endless blooms of Huocheng County to Yining City’s pastel-perfect streets, Xinjiang’s Uygur culture meets Insta-worthy scenery. 📸
Imagine strolling through lavender fields so vast they rival Provence – but with snow-capped Tianshan peaks as your backdrop. Locals say the fragrance alone is worth the trip, blending with the aroma of Uygur spices wafting from nearby markets. 🌄✨
Don’t miss Kazanqi’s courtyards, where traditional woodcarvings get a modern twist with lavender-themed decor. Pro tip: Visit Liuxing Street at golden hour for that perfect purple-to-pink gradient sky. Who needs filters?
