🚗 Yili custom car rental complete booking process, contact customer service online to place an order and make a reservation
With the peak summer travel season of 2026 approaching, more and more tourists are choosing custom car rental to explore the Yili River Valley in depth. Compared with self-driving where you are unfamiliar with road conditions and group tours with limited itineraries, custom car rental with a driver allows flexible scheduling while leveraging local driver experience to avoid congestion and temporary road controls. Currently, the main scenic areas in Yili are fully open, and scenic roads such as Duku Highway and Yizhao Highway are also passable, making it the golden period to experience grasslands, lakes, snow mountains, and flower seas in one frame.
📍 Detailed introduction to routes and destinations

Recommended viewpoints include Songshutou, Kele Yongzhu, and the S-curve boardwalk.
Nalati Sky Grassland: Open daily from 8:30 to 20:00, with timed entry. The Sky Grassland package ticket is 135 yuan/person as a reference; if entering by self-drive, you need to grab tickets in advance on the “Smart Nalati” mini-program (limited to 300 cars per day).
