Epic stories and falconry
The Kyrgyz Heritage Town (柯尔克孜非遗小镇) stands in the western section of Jialangqi New Town (佳朗奇新城). Its Manas Epic Hall (玛纳斯史诗馆) introduces the epic, which is also presented through performance. In Ahetala Village (阿合塔拉村), Sumutash Township (苏木塔什乡), a falconry ground presents demonstrations of trained birds and describes experiences involving holding birds of prey and riding horses.

Kuoketuohai Campsite (阔克托海露营基地), also in Ahetala Village, has yurts, tents, outdoor tables and play equipment.
