The 伊犁河 (Yili River) is a significant river located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. It flows through the picturesque 伊犁哈萨克自治州 (Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture) and is known for its beautiful landscapes and rich biodiversity. The river is approximately 600 kilometers long and plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and agriculture. The 伊犁河 originates from the Tianshan Mountains and eventually merges with the larger 赛里木湖 (Sayram Lake). It is an important water source for the surrounding areas, supporting both farming and livestock. The river also holds cultural significance for the local 哈萨克族 (Kazakh people), who have lived in the region for centuries.
