This photo taken on July 27, 2018 shows a view on one of the eight main streets in Tekes County in Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Established in the 1930s, Tekes is located deep in the Ili River Valley on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains. The county is renowned for its Bagua (or Eight Trigrams) layout: from the central Tai Chi Plaza, eight main streets extend outward in a progressive and radial pattern, while the roads are interconnected.

Tekes is now promoting the integrated development of its cultural and tourism industries, striving to create a "museum of landscapes" and a world-class tourist destination. (Photo by Zhao Fengshou/Xinhua)
