Guozigou is known as "the first scenery in Ili". The ancients wrote poems praising it as "the wonder of mountains and rivers is comparable to Guilin, and the wonder of cliffs and rocks is better than Yanyan".

It is said that before the Yuan Dynasty, Guozigou was still an ancient pastoral road without a pulley. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, when Genghis Khan sent his troops to the West on the fourth route, in order to speed up the pace of the army, his second prince Chagatai led his troops to "chisel the stone to manage the road and publish the wood as the 48 bridge" in the territory of Guozigou, and finally dug through the natural danger of Guozigou. At that time, it not only accelerated the pace of war and made contributions to Genghis Khan's military victory, but also opened the jiel road from the Central Plains to the Ili River Basin, and found a shortcut for the new North Road of the ancient Silk Road. Before the natural danger of Guozigou was dug out, the new North Road of the ancient Silk Road was the broken leaves and other places that entered the Chu River Basin from Tacheng and Bortala. After the natural danger of Guozigou was dug out, the road of Guozigou was taken by Chinese and Western business travelers and friendly envoys. After that, the yuan and Qing governments stationed troops in Guozigou and set up post stations to serve the officers, soldiers and business travelers. In particular, after Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty calmed down the rebellion of the Junggar nobles in the Yili River Valley, set up the political and military center of Xinjiang in Huiyuan city on the Bank of the Yili River, and established the Yili general's office to govern the vast areas to the south of the east of Balkhash Lake and the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, the Qing government set up two post stations, Toutai and ertai, in this valley to deliver the imperial decrees and orders Border defense information. Since then, the fruit ditch is more noisy, showing its outstanding importance.
