Tekes County in Xinjiang is famous for its Bagua layout. In 1996, relevant departments canceled the traffic lights on the roads, and Bagua City became a city without traffic lights. Legend has it that Tekes Bagua City was originally arranged by Qiu Chuji, one of the Seven Sons of Taoism in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, Qiu Chuji, a real Changchun real man, went to the Western Regions at the invitation of Genghis Khan. When he passed the Tekes River Valley, he was moved by the mountains and rivers here. So this eight trigrams city was arranged. Bagua City is radially circular, and the street layout is like a maze, with roads interlinked and streets connected. At the same time, Bagua City has strong folk customs, profound historical culture and beautiful natural scenery.

A very special place, there are no traffic lights on the street, but there are still moving traffic lights during rush hour. Riding a bicycle and wandering around Turks Bagua City, the colorful houses on the street feel like a foreign country in the depths!

The Ferris wheel is a landmark building in Tekes County. We arrived from Qiongkushitai Village at ten o’clock in the evening. The sky is still very bright. This small county is a must for transit to Kalajun and Qiongkushitai Village. place. The night market in the small town was very lively, and I drank the best kavas along the way.

A particularly interesting city. The layout is completely in accordance with the Eight Diagrams, starting from the Tai Chi Eye, and eight streets are laid out in sequence. The sidewalks are also particularly interesting. Then there are two rings and three rings around. It is said to be a city without traffic jams. There are delicious food in the city. I recommend Gulandam ice cream in Lijie Pedestrian Street, and the trading market on Kun Street. There are all kinds of baked buns, thin-skinned buns, wontons, etc., which are delicious. All kinds of dried fruit scented tea are definitely much cheaper than Urumqi, so take some back home as a gift. There are a lot of introductions to the nearby attractions such as the Kuokesu Grand Canyon, so I won't repeat them. In short, it is a city worth staying in.

We took a car from Yining City Bus Station to Tekes County (33 yuan/person), and it took about 2.5 hours to drive, but foreigners must undergo nucleic acid testing before entering Tekes. According to Baidu Encyclopedia: Tekes County in Xinjiang is famous for its gossip layout. Relevant departments canceled the traffic lights on the road in 1996, and Bagua City became a city without traffic lights. The city was first built in 1937, and was surveyed and designed by Qiu Zongjun, the Ili settlement envoy and garrison commander at that time. Legend has it that the Tekes Bagua City was first laid out by Qiu Chuji, one of the Quanzhen Seven Sons of Taoism in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, Qiu Chuji, a real person from Changchun, went to the Western Regions at the invitation of Genghis Khan. When he passed the Tekes River Valley, he was moved by the mountains and rivers here, so he arranged this Bagua City. The Bagua City is radially circular, and the street layout is like a magical maze, with roads interlinked and streets connected. At present, there are many items of the most in Turks: the largest and most complete Bagua city in the world; the only place in the world where Wusun culture and Yijing culture intertwine; the westernmost Bagua city in China and the seat of Yijing culture; Chinese Taoist culture The westernmost place of spread; the seat of Wusun Kingdom, the largest nomadic ancient country in the Western Regions of China, and so on. . . The mystery of Turks lies in its rich I Ching culture and Wusun culture. Before arriving in Tekes County, I had contacted the local B&B - Ligong Bieyuan, and the proprietress told me: Don’t come now, come after June, it will be beautiful then. What a simple person, just come here, we stayed in this homestay for four days in Tekes County, it was a good accommodation experience! Facts have proved that for Turks County, we did come early. I found that everything here seems to be still hibernating. There is the largest Tai Chi-themed Ferris wheel in the world's Guinness World Records --- Tai Chi Eye, sit Going up, you can overlook the whole picture of Bagua City, but as soon as you know it, it is closed for maintenance, and it will not open until May Day. After May 1st, you can take a helicopter or a hot air balloon to overlook the whole picture of Bagua City in the sky above Bagua City. The central Tai Chi altar in the Bagua Square in the center of the city is also closed for maintenance. Lijie is a concentration of homestays, and most of them are not open to welcome guests. Wherever he went, there were very few tourists. Therefore, the earliest time to travel to Turks is after May Day.
