I. Itinerary Highlights: Two Core IPs + Niche Experiences
[Sayram Lake:The Last Tear of the Atlantic Ocean]
As Xinjiang’s highest and largest alpine lake, Sayram Lake is famous for its “blue” hues—the water shifts through shades of Tiffany blue and sapphire blue depending on the light. Along its 92-kilometer shoreline, there are 12 scenic viewpoints, including Jinhua Zihui, Songshu Tou, and Swan’s Delight. In 2026, the scenic area will be open daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, supporting self-driving tours (vehicle entry fee: 150 yuan per car) or shuttle bus rides (75 yuan per person). For those wanting to photograph the starry sky or sunrise, camping spots like Santai Grassland and Qingshuitan within the scenic area are available (advance reservation required).
[Guozigou Bridge:An Engineering Marvel in the Clouds]
This 700-meter-long cable-stayed bridge, with its deck 200 meters above the valley floor, is a milestone in Xinjiang’s highway construction. Standing at the Guozigou Viewpoint, you can overlook the bridge as it coils like a dragon between snow-capped mountains and pine forests. Especially at sunrise, the interplay of morning mist and light creates a magical scene of the “Bridge in the Clouds.” The scenic area is free to enter, but accessing the bridge viewpoint requires a fee of 50 yuan per person.
[Hidden Gems:Huocheng Lavender + Kazanqi Folk Village]
From June to July, the purple lavender fields of Huocheng’s Jieyou Princess Lavender Garden contrast beautifully with the snow-capped mountains; recommended ticket price is 35 yuan per person. The Kazanqi Folk Village in Yining City offers free admission, where you can take a horse-drawn carriage through traditional homes of various ethnic groups, taste handmade ice cream, and experience the folk customs of the “Oriental Morocco.”
