I. Key Highlights of the Itinerary: Unlock Yili’s Dual Heritage of Nature and Culture
The Yili River Valley, known as ‘Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall,’ offers a prime travel period from June to August in 2026. It combines snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and flower fields, linking three major 5A-rated scenic spots with lesser-known hidden gems, ensuring a blend of classic and in-depth exploration:
Sayram Lake:As Xinjiang’s highest and largest alpine lake, with water transparency reaching 12 meters, Sayram Lake boasts wildflowers along its shores from June to July and offers a spectacular view of ice bubbles in winter. Key activities include a self-drive tour around the lake (approximately 90 kilometers), visiting sites like Kele Yongzhu, the popular S-shaped curve, and Xihai Grassland, and enjoying the sunset at Dianjiang Terrace in the evening.
Nalati Grassland:One of the world’s four major river valley grasslands, with an average elevation of 2,200 meters, it is divided into two main areas: the aerial grassland and the river valley grassland. The aerial grassland offers a breathtaking view of snow-capped mountains intertwined with grasslands, while the river valley grassland is ideal for strolling along streams and experiencing the nomadic life of various ethnic groups.
Bayinbuluk Grassland:China’s second-largest grassland, famous for Swan Lake and the Nine-Curve Eighteen-Bend. In the morning, visitors can observe natural swans, and in the afternoon, they can head to the Nine-Curve Eighteen-Bend to witness the ‘Nine Suns Aligned’ spectacle at sunset.
Duku Highway:Recommended to be open for only four months a year, it is known as ‘China’s Most Beautiful Highway,’ connecting northern and southern Xinjiang with a legendary route. The itinerary includes traversing the northern section of the Duku Highway, stopping at Dushanzi Grand Canyon and Tangbula Hundred-Mile Gallery, and experiencing the comfort of ‘four seasons in one day.’
Huocheng Lavender Flower Field:A vast expanse of purple fields at the same latitude as Provence, with peak bloom from mid-June to early July, perfect for strolling and capturing romantic photos.
