Six Star Street Travel Guide
The Hexagonal Zither Sound of Yining
Six-Star Street is woven into a hexagonal shape by radiating alleys, with Russian-style wooden houses, orchard walls, and the sound of accordions mingling together. Walking into Alexander's accordion collection museum, hundreds of accordions will tell you the history of this street.

Destination Details
In the 1930s, Six-Star Street was planned in a hexagonal radiating pattern, where Russians, Kazakhs, Uyghurs, Huis, and Hans lived together, with orchards and birch wooden houses standing side by side. The aroma of rye bread from handmade bakeries, apple trees in the courtyards, and the accordions on street corners reflect the gentlest side of Yining.
Walking Route
- Alexander Accordion Collection Museum: A private collection of hundreds of accordions, often with a live performance
- Russian-style Wooden Houses and Painted Courtyard Walls: Densest around Liguan Street
- Rye Bread Shops and Ice Cream: Freshly baked rye bread paired with local cream ice cream
From Six-Star Street to Kazanqi, west to east, you can walk and take short rides to form a one-day tour of Yining Old Town. At night, the street lights are soft, and the sound of accordions often leaks from some courtyards.
