Visiting Ili during the May Day holiday is feasible, but it may not be the best time.?
During the May Day holiday, some of the grasslands in Ili have started to turn green, such as Qiaxi and Kurding, which are the first grasslands in the Ili River Valley to turn green. They are suitable for travel in May, with few people, many flowers, beautiful scenery, and a good experience.?
. However, during the May Day holiday, Ili’s scenic spots may be crowded, accommodation may be difficult to book, and ticket queues may be long, causing inconvenience to travelers.?
. Additionally, during the May Day holiday, only some of the grasslands in Ili are green, such as Nalati, so options are relatively limited, and the snow on the Qiata Ring Road is thick, which may make it impassable.?
If conditions permit, the best time to visit Ili is from late May to mid-June. During this period, airfare is cheap, accommodation costs are reasonable, there are many scenic spots to choose from, tourist flow is low, wildflowers are in bloom, the snow line is low, and you can even see snow-capped mountains.?
. But if you only have the May Day holiday, you can also consider visiting places like Sayram Lake, Nalati, Qiaxi, Zhaosu, and Qiongkushitai, where the scenery is equally beautiful.?
In summary, visiting Ili during the May Day holiday is feasible, but attention should be paid to issues such as tourist flow at scenic spots and accommodation reservations, and travel plans should be made in advance. For a better travel experience, consider visiting between late May and mid-June.?
