Yanqi Hui Autonomous County is located in the central part of Xinjiang, at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain and on the shore of Lake Bosten, which is an important station on the northern route of the ancient Silk Road, and has been known as the "lapel of the Western Regions". There are 13 ethnic groups, including Hui, Han, Uyghur and Mongolia, and their diverse cultures have blended and coexisted, forming unique folk customs. There are historical relics such as the ruins of Yanqi Ancient City and seven star Buddhist temples in the territory, witnessing the prosperity of the Silk Road for thousands of years.
