Known as the hometown of one of the best horse breeds in China and a land of "heavenly horses," Zhaosu County, in Kazak Autonomous Prefecture of Ili, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has turned itself into an equine tourism area with breathtaking views of galloping horses and equestrian performances.
With abundant resources of ice and snow, Zhaosu has also made great efforts to develop popular winter activities, helping the locals increase their income.
"Heavenly horses" refer to Ili horses, whose ancestors were the Wusun horses introduced in China during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24).
