🌄 In-depth Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The 16-day ‘An Yi Hao’ itinerary spans the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, connecting diverse landscapes such as alpine lakes, grasslands, wetlands, Danxia canyons, oasis ancient cities, and covering Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural attractions.
Tianshan Tianchi Lake:Located at the northern foot of Bogda Peak, the lake is crystal clear like a mirror, surrounded by snow-capped peaks. In 2026, during the peak season (April–October), the scenic area is open from 8:00–20:00, with boat rides operating until 18:30. It is recommended to board in the afternoon to avoid crowds.
Kanas and Hemu: Known as ‘God’s private reserve.’ At Kanas Lake, you can take a boat to closely view the primeval forests and snow mountain reflections; Hemu Village retains its original ecological log cabin village style, looking like a fairy tale when shrouded in morning mist. According to 2026 scenic area management requirements, private vehicles must park at the visitor center and transfer to shuttle buses.
Sayram Lake:The last tear of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2026, private cars are prohibited on the lake’s ring road; visitors must take scenic area shuttle buses or arrange vehicles through compliant travel agencies. The lake area has strong UV rays and changeable weather, so it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket and sunscreen.
Nalati Grassland:In summer, the grass is lush and wildflowers bloom everywhere. The scenic area is divided into sections like Sky Grassland and River Valley Grassland, open from 8:30–20:00, with tickets valid for 2 days, suitable for in-depth exploration.
Southern Section of Duku Highway:Expected to fully open by the end of May 2026, with daily access from 9:00–20:00. Along the way, you can see the Bayinbuluke Wetland, the clear waters of Big and Small Dragon Pools, and the red rock walls of the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon, offering rich layered landscapes.
Kashgar Old City and Pamir Plateau:The old city has crisscrossing streets full of life; areas like Karakul Lake,白沙湖, Golden Grass Beach, and Stone City Ruins are border zones, requiring advance permits (which can be arranged by the travel agency after registration).
Turpan’s Three Treasures:Grape Valley is fragrant with fruits, Flaming Mountain blazes like fire, and Karez Well showcases ancient water management wisdom, offering a perfect window into oasis civilization.
The entire route has a relaxed pace, balancing natural wonders and cultural experiences, suitable for family trips, elderly wellness, and photography enthusiasts.
