Yining (Chinese: 伊宁 Yíníng; Uyghur: غۇلجا Ghulja; Kazakh: قۇلجا Qulja) is a city in the Xinjiang Province in China. Though the official Chinese name is Yining, the city is almost never referred to by that name even by the Chinese who live there. Local people call it Ghulja, Kulja or Yili. Yining, this small border city located in the Yili River Valley of Xinjiang, is no longer just a stopover on the journey but has become a relaxing and multi-ethnic treasure destination.
