🚌 Family Slow Travel in Xinjiang:New Ideas for Multi-Destination Custom Car Travel in Kashgar + Altay
For families planning to travel with elderly parents and children, Xinjiang’s vast territory and scattered attractions pose challenges—traditional group tours move too fast, while independent travel involves complex route planning and unfamiliar road conditions. In recent years, more and more families have chosen custom car services to explore northern and southern Xinjiang in depth, allowing flexible stop times while balancing comfort and convenience. In 2027, combined with current tourism service supply and transportation conditions, Kashgar and Altay, as representative destinations of southern and northern Xinjiang, are becoming popular choices for combined family in-depth tours.
📍 Destination Highlights Overview
The Kashgar region, located in southwestern Xinjiang, is an important node city on the western section of the Silk Road. The area is rich in cultural attractions—Kashgar Old City preserves its complete traditional street layout, and the Tashkurgan-style elevated houses (Gaotai dwellings) have reopened after restoration, allowing visitors to experience handicraft making and local life scenes. Nearby natural attractions include Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata Peak, and Golden Grass Beach, suitable for half-day to one-day visits. According to public information from cultural and tourism authorities at the end of 2026, major scenic areas in Kashgar are operating normally, though some high-altitude areas (such as Khunjerab) are temporarily not receiving regular tourists due to policy or seasonal factors—itineraries should be confirmed in advance.
The Altay region is renowned for its natural ecology, encompassing core scenic areas such as Kanas, Hemu, Baihaba, and Keketuohai. Summers bring lush grasslands, autumns paint the forests in layers of color, and winters offer pristine snowscapes—there’s something to see in every season. In 2027, the Duku Highway is expected to be open from late May to early October (subject to official transportation department announcements), but Altay routes do not depend on this passage and can be planned year-round. Note that some mountain roads may be affected by weather in winter, so it’s recommended to check real-time road conditions before traveling.

In 2027, combined with current tourism service supply and transportation conditions, Kashgar and Altay, as representative destinations of southern and northern Xinjiang, are becoming popular choices for combined family in-depth tours.Days 7-8:Take custom car service toward the Altay direction, passing through Ulungur Lake and Keketuohai, staying overnight in Fuyun or Burgin.
Days 9-11:Enter the Kanas Scenic Area, visit Guanyu Terrace and the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay), explore Hemu Village, and experience the living atmosphere of the Tuvan people’s settlement.

Note: This itinerary is a logical recommendation; specific days, transportation methods (flight/train/full custom car service) can be adjusted based on family needs. For example, if time is tight, combination plans such as “fly from Kashgar to Yining—then overland to Altay” can be chosen, but transfer connections and luggage convenience should be considered.
