Planning an in-depth Xinjiang trip in 2026 but don’t want the fatigue of self-driving, nor the crowding of large tour groups? Shared-ride small groups are becoming an increasingly popular choice. Compared with traditional coach tours, small groups have fewer people and a flexible pace; compared with pure independent travel, they offer a local driver to lead the way and guaranteed itineraries.

🌄 I. Detailed introduction to the route or destination
In the summer of 2026, Xinjiang’s tourism reception has fully entered peak season mode, with smooth passage and orderly services at major scenic areas in North and South Xinjiang.
The North Xinjiang section is mainly natural scenery:Kanas Lake is mirror-calm and blue, Hemu Village is shrouded in morning mist, Five-Colored Beach is brilliantly colorful under the sunset, and the Yardang landform of Devil City is utterly extraordinary. Tianshan Tianchi, Koktokay, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland and others are all open normally, with the shuttle bus system operating stably.
The South Xinjiang section displays diverse landforms: the streets and alleys of Kashgar Old City crisscross, the Pamir Plateau has continuous snow-capped mountains, Muztagh Ata stands towering, and the red-bed landform of Wensu Grand Canyon is magnificent. Currently all scenic areas implement a real-name reservation entry system, requiring booking 1–3 days in advance through platforms such as “Tour Xinjiang One-Code Tour.”
Special reminder:The Duku Highway has been fully open since June 1, 2026, allowing small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer to pass daily from 8:00–19:00, with a reservation system in effect. Seasonal sections such as the Yizhao Highway are also open, but may be subject to temporary control in rain, strong wind, or other weather; it is recommended to confirm the day’s road conditions before traveling.
