Six-Star Street Travel Introduction
Located in Yining City, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang, Six-Star Street is a well-known historical and cultural block famous for its unique hexagonal layout. Designed by a German engineer in the 1930s, six main roads radiate from the central square, dividing the area into six fan-shaped zones, hence its vivid name.
This living cultural museum gathers multiple ethnic groups including Uygur, Kazakh, Russian and Han, where diverse folk customs blend perfectly. Wandering along the lanes, you will be fascinated by bright courtyards painted in iconic Ili blue, delicate wooden carvings and European-style roofs, ideal for photography lovers.
The street is also a paradise for food and music. You can taste freshly baked nang, handcrafted ice cream and local milk tea. Folk accordion melodies and traditional dance performances often fill the air. Open to visitors for free all day, Six-Star Street lets you experience the authentic, warm multicultural charm of western Xinjiang.
