In early spring, the grasslands of Xinyuan County in Xinjiang's Ili River Valley are transformed into a golden sea of wild tulips. Blooming at the northern slopes, the bright yellow flowers with reddish backs glow under the morning sun, stretching across rolling hills toward snow-capped mountains. Each slender stem bears a single flower, blooming briefly after April rains and fading within a week – drawing visitors to witness nature's fleeting romance.
