Tired of self-driving, constantly changing hotels, and dragging luggage between destinations?

This route cleverly connects the natural wonders of Northern Xinjiang with the cultural heritage of Southern Xinjiang:
Northern Xinjiang Section:The canyon secrets of Keketuohai, the morning mist and smoke of Hemu Village, the turquoise waters and forests of Kanas Lake, the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake, the vast grasslands of Nalati and Bayinbuluke, and the four-season crossing of the Duku Highway.
Southern Xinjiang Section:The thousand-year-old alleys of Kashgar Old City, the白沙湖 and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, the red rock walls of Kuqa Grand Canyon, and the oasis culture of Turpan.
Whether it’s snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, or ancient cities, canyons, oases, and poplar forests, one trip immerses you in Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and rich culture.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Travelers:Family trips (especially with elderly and children), photography enthusiasts, culture explorers, and travelers seeking comfort and privacy can all find their own pace here.
> ⚠️ Warm Reminder:Due to uncontrollable factors such as weather, road conditions, and scenic area policies, itinerary details may be reasonably adjusted after mutual agreement, subject to actual implementation.
