🌄 Route Highlights:An In-Depth Journey Across the Tianshan Mountains
In 2026, the “Dahezhinan” will operate a 17-day Southern and Northern Xinjiang Panorama Tour (Duku Highway Edition), crossing Xinjiang from east to west, connecting classic destinations such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati, Sayram Lake, and Kanas. The itinerary includes the scorching Flaming Mountains, the cool Grape Valley, the sacred Karakul Lake, the magnificent Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, and the tranquil village of Hemu in the morning mist.
As a core section of this route, the Duku Highway is recommended for summer opening and is known as “one of China’s most beautiful roads.” The combination of train and land transfers reduces the fatigue of frequent changes and allows access to remote scenic areas that regular tours cannot cover. Accommodation is mainly in train compartments, supplemented by selected hotels, balancing convenience and comfort.
Please note that due to weather, road conditions, and scenic area policies, the actual order of visits or attractions may be reasonably adjusted after mutual consultation. Thank you for your understanding.
