Located in the Ili River Valley of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Zhaosu County is known as the "land of heavenly horses." Inside Zhaosu Wetland Park, visitors can enjoy a special performance, "Heavenly Horses Bathing in the River," where herds of Ili horses dash through the waterways in a stunning scene.

Home to the famous Ili horse since ancient times, Zhaosu County has long been a cradle of China's equestrian culture. Today, the county is integrating this heritage into a thriving tourism industry, bringing new vitality to local life and offering travelers an unforgettable glimpse of living traditions.
