Find most beautiful lavender in Yining, Xinjiang

To most of people, Lavender is related to dreaming place, romantic, sea of purple, and France. Actually except for world renowned Provence Lavender Fields, tourists could also find dreamy beautiful lavender fields in the mysterious Yili Valley in China. Yili Valley is located in Yining, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region which lies in the northwestern part of China. It takes about 1 hour to fly to Yining from Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang with splendid natural and cultural tourism resource.

Almost every young girl has ever dreamt of strolling in the lavender field. It's such an enjoyment to imagine walking in the fields of bright purple and delicate mauve under a deep blue sky. Take a deep breath, experience the true scent and color of lavender, and feel lost in the stunning sight of the Plateau…

Besides dreamy beautiful lavender field, Yining will never disappoint those who are also interested to explore marvelous natural scenery. Attractions nearby include Guozi Valley (the gate to Central Asia and Europe on the ancient North Silk Road), Sayram Lake (with a romantic story about the teardrop of a maiden), Nalati Grasslands (one of the best grassland in the world), and Huiyuan Ancient Town (political, military and economic center of ancient Xinjiang). As Yining is situated to the North to Kashgar, Kanas Lake with several legends and magnificent scenery is obviously a good choice to go.

Lavender only blooms at summer around mid-June to August, the full-bloom time is around mid-July. For the holidaymakers who love to have a comfortable lavender tour, early summer is a good choice because it is warm but not at its hottest. After late July famers will begin to harvest lavender.
