🌟 [Route Highlights:A Dual Symphony of Nature and Culture]🌟
In the summer of 2026, Xinjiang’s Ili and Turpan have become popular travel destinations.

This connecting tour combines the best of both regions, covering core attractions such as Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kalajun Grassland, Flaming Mountain, and Karez Wells over 8 days, with an average daily drive of 4-5 hours to balance scenic density and travel comfort.
