Tourists enjoy artistic performances in Tekes County, Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, July 23, 2021.

Established in the 1930s, Tekes is located deep in the Ili River Valley on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains. The county is renowned for its Bagua (or Eight Trigrams) layout: from the central Tai Chi Plaza, eight main streets extend outward in a progressive and radial pattern, while the roads are interconnected.

Tekes is now promoting the integrated development of its cultural and tourism industries, striving to create a "museum of landscapes" and a world-class tourist destination. (Photo by Tang Yong/Xinhua)
