Huocheng County is located on the western border of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, in the wide area of northwest Ili River Valley, 653 km (406 miles) from the regional capital city of Urumqi and 47 km (29 miles) from Yining City (the capital of the Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture).as one of the eight most renowned lavender production bases in the world and the largest lavender production base in China, accounts for 95% of the total lavender production and essential oil production in the country.
Huocheng County, as a key town of the world-famous ancient Silk Road, has a long history and beautiful scenery. It is rich in tourism resources, like Huiyuan ancient city (the political, military and cultural center of Xinjiang during the Qing Dynasty); Daxi Valley (the only wild plum production base in Asia); the Tukai Desert (a desert in oasis); Keda La Prairie; the tomb of Timur Khan, the seventh descendant of Genghis Khan (the ruler of the Mongol people in ancient China); the site of the Temple of Longevity Hill (commonly known as Daxi Valley Temple, the largest Taoist resort in the Qing Dynasty); the national lavender production base; Sayram Lake (the most famous mountainous lake in Xinjiang) and the long grape corridor (a modern agricultural tourist area).
At the same latitude, the climate is the same, and Xinjiang has a long sunshine, so it is famous for its lavender. The cost of travel in France and Japan is high, and the visa is more complicated. So go and see your country first.
The Huocheng County in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region held the 5th lavender Tourism Festival on June 13 and June 14. The two-day festival was a prelude to the upcoming blossom season of Yili Valley.
Owning a total area of over 1,300 hectares of lavender, the Huocheng County is nicknamed as the Lavender Town, which produces 97 percent of the country's lavender-related products. The purple lavender field connects to the snow mountain in the distance with intoxicating fragrance.
Lavender flowering period is only half a month. Ili only has lavender in June. It is not enough to bloom early. The flower has already started to harvest at night, so it is very important to take good time. When we go, it is close to the harvesting time. But fortunately, I saw a piece of lavender, and I can buy pure lavender essential oil.
In June, not only lavender, but also in the flowering period in Xinjiang from the end of the month to the beginning of July, what Tianshan safflower, spruce, and wildflowers are flourishing, so it is excellent to see flowers in Xinjiang this month.
