Southern Xinjiang Section:Delve into Kashgar’s old city, visit the High Terrace Residences and Id Kah Mosque, experiencing the historical pulse of this Silk Road hub; head to Tashkurgan County, gaze at the reflection of Muztagh Ata in Karakul Lake.
Duku Highway Section:Cross the Tianshan Grand Canyon, arrive at Bayanbulak Grassland, watch the winding Kaidu River glisten gold under the sunset.
Northern Xinjiang Section:Sayram Lake is as blue as a mirror, Hemu Village’s birch forests hide wooden houses, the colorful Danxia landforms of Wucaitan contrast with the Irtysh River.
Tianshan Gateway:At the end of the itinerary, arrange a one-day trip to Tianshan Tianchi, ending the journey poetically amidst the lake and mountains.
Currently (April 2026), Xinjiang’s climate is pleasant, with lush vegetation in late spring and early summer.
