Scenic spot introduction:

Hanren Street is a street full of ethnic minority customs. It is located at the junction of Xinhua East Road and Shengli Road in Yining City. There is a saying in Yili that "you have not visited Yili without visiting Hanren Street." Hanren Street was originally an alley about two kilometers long. The road was winding and lined with shops on both sides. It was a prosperous time for merchants to come and go. At that time, there were about 3,000 "Han people" gathered here, most of whom were from Yangliuqing, Tianjin. There were more than 400 shops on one street. During the "Three District Revolution", many Han people in "Han Street" were killed, so most of the current "Han Street" are inhabited by Uyghurs, Hui, Tatars, Uzbeks and other ethnic groups. Today's "Hanren Street" is a lively place, with people coming and going every day, bustling with people, especially many doing small businesses. From food to clothing, from clothing to use, everything is available, and everything is very cheap.
