“2026 In-Depth Travel Guide to Xinjiang:Dual-Route Exploration: Kanas in Northern Xinjiang + Ili River Valley”
(Icon at the beginning)✨
[Route Highlights:Unlock the Year-Round Beauty of Xinjiang with Dual Routes]
In 2026, Xinjiang tourism will showcase a differentiated pattern of “natural beauty in Northern Xinjiang and cultural heritage in Southern Xinjiang.” According to recent tourism data, the Kanas-Hemu route in Northern Xinjiang and the Ili River Valley-Sayram Lake route have become the most popular combined routes among tourists, accounting for 42% and 38% of Xinjiang’s annual tourist volume, respectively.
Kanas Route in Northern Xinjiang:Centered around Kanas Lake, this route connects attractions such as Hemu Village, Khaba Village, and Colorful Beach. In 2026, the scenic area will implement a “three entries, three exits” policy, allowing tourists to enter the core area multiple times within 48 hours. Recent monitoring shows that during the autumn foliage viewing period from mid-September to early October, the scenic area will limit daily admissions to 12,000 people, a 20% increase from 2025.
Ili River Valley Route:The core summer attractions include Nalati Grassland, Karajun Grassland, and Huocheng Lavender Manor. In 2026, the full opening of the Duoku Road will be extended to October 15, 20 days longer than previous years. Special note: June 15 to July 10 is the prime viewing period for lavender, but be aware of occasional showers in the Huocheng area.
