Along the way, you can appreciate the tranquil mystery of Kanas Lake, the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, and the crystal-clear beauty of Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic.’ From the rolling green meadows of Nalati Grassland to the sunset glow over the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, and from the red Danxia landforms of Kuqa Grand Canyon to the sacred reflection of Muztagh Ata in White Sand Lake—the entire route encompasses nearly all of Xinjiang’s landform types.
In addition, the route passes through historical and cultural cities such as Turpan and Kashgar. Without touching on sensitive expressions, visitors can experience the diverse and integrated life of this land through ancient city streets, traditional courtyards, and everyday markets.
