Garden spot in Xinjiang lures visitors

Yumin county of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region is known as "the garden at the Eurasian heart".

The flowers in Turjialiao steppe form a delightful contrast with the snowy mountains in the distance. They blossom from April and last for more than 120 days. Fragrant flowers, tall trees and green grass in Tarst Scenic Area make this site a good option for an outing.

This year, Yumin county has attracted more than 294,000 tourists and its tourism revenue has reached 190 million yuan ($27 million).
