In spring, Xinjiang surprises travelers with its stunning display of apricot and wild cherry blossoms—especially in regions like Yili (Ili) and Tekes Valley. Unlike the cultivated parks of eastern China, blossoms here bloom across sweeping grasslands, hillsides, and traditional Uyghur villages, creating a breathtaking contrast with snow-capped Tianshan Mountains. The natural, untamed beauty of Xinjiang’s blossoms feels otherworldly, offering a serene and culturally rich experience along the ancient Silk Road. #cherryblossom25
