Located on the Nalati Grassland in Xinyuan County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Wusun Culture Golden Summit Tent, also known as the No.1 Tent in Northwest China, stands as a landmark showcasing the glorious history of the ancient Wusun nomadic kingdom. Dating back over 2,000 years, the Wusun tribes once thrived across the Ili River Valley and maintained close diplomatic ties with the Western Han Dynasty via the ancient Silk Road, laying the cultural foundation for today’s Kazakh ethnic groups.
The grand golden-topped royal tent replicates the court of the ancient Wusun king, paired with the princess tent and prince tent to fully restore the living scenes of Wusun royal families. Inside, delicate traditional handicrafts, nomadic hunting tools and historical displays vividly tell stories of ethnic integration and frontier civilization. Visitors can enjoy Kazakh folk singing and dancing, taste classic local feasts of roasted mutton and dairy delicacies, and immerse themselves in immersive performances recreating the marriage between Han princesses and Wusun nobles.
Surrounded by rolling alpine meadows and snow-capped Tianshan peaks, this cultural attraction perfectly combines spectacular natural scenery with profound nomadic heritage, offering you an unforgettable journey back to the prosperous era of the ancient Wusun Kingdom.
