Photos of Huocheng Lavender Fields

Huocheng County in Ili, Xinjiang is a veritable city of lavender, where the largest and denser lavender fields in the country are planted. Every June-August, lavender blooms in the farmland on both sides of the road near Huocheng. The countryside is very romantic, and it also attracts a large number of tourists to come and visit for photography. Most of the lavenders in Huocheng come by self-driving or chartered car. After passing the farmland by the road, when you see your favorite flower field, you can get off the car to take pictures and visit at any time. However, it is generally necessary to pay a small fee to the local farmers, usually 5-10 yuan per person to enter the flower field to take pictures. If you want to learn more about lavender and essential oils, you can visit the Princess Jieyou Lavender Garden in Qingshuihe Development Zone, where there is a lavender museum. In addition, there are colorful flower fields and purple lavender fields combined with various flowers, which are also good places for shooting. If you don’t go to the lavender garden, you can only shoot in the farmhouse. The most popular shooting location is near the 65 group field (between Huocheng County and Qingshuihe Town, next to the G218 highway). There are many farmhouses planting lavender, which is also taken by tourists. In places with more lavender, there are also many places near the 70th and 71st regiments, and you can go to shoot. In the past two years, the lavender planted near Lucaogou in the northeast of Qingshui River (that is, 65 groups and 8 companies) has gradually become known. The lavender here is dense and large, and there are not many tourists. It is better to enjoy the lavender field alone. Location, here you need to travel more than ten kilometers northeast along the 312 National Road from Qingshui River, if you are interested, you can go there.
