II. Detailed destination introduction: From Eastern Xinjiang to Southern Xinjiang, see all four seasons of Xinjiang in one journey
[Eastern Xinjiang:The wild beauty of Hami and the Dahaidao]
Hami, as the eastern gateway of Xinjiang, is the first stop of the itinerary. It is not only known for its sweet Hami melons, but also hides the Dahaidao Ghost City, “the most Mars-like place on Earth.” Recent 2026 data shows that the core area of Dahaidao has improved sightseeing trails and signage. Visitors can drive themselves or take scenic-area off-road vehicles deep into the yardang formations to capture the spectacular light and shadow at sunset. Nearby, the Hui Prince Mansion and the Twelve Muqam performance showcase the history and culture of ethnic integration.
[Northern Xinjiang:The fairy-tale world of Kanas and Hemu]
After getting off at Beituo City, the special train goes directly to Kanas. According to 2026 scenic area policies, projects such as the Kanas Lake cruise and the Fish Viewing Platform require advance reservations, with a daily limit of 3,000 people in peak season, while no queuing is needed in off-season. Hemu Village was rated by “Chinese National Geography” as “the most beautiful village in China.” Early morning cooking smoke and birch forests complement each other; bringing a telephoto lens is recommended to capture details of the Tuvan wooden houses. The Danxia landform of Wucaitan presents three colors—purple, red, and yellow—under the setting sun, making it a must-visit spot for photography enthusiasts.
[Western Xinjiang:The grassland poetry of Sayram Lake and Nalati]
Sayram Lake in the Yining section is called “the last tear of the Atlantic.” In 2026, the lakeside road has been fully connected, allowing a full loop around the lake by car or bicycle. At the Khorgos Port scenic area, cross-border goods can be purchased, but attention should be paid to customs purchase limits. The空中 grassland route of Nalati Grassland enters its excellent viewing period in June, with wildflowers everywhere, and visitors can experience horseback riding or visits to local ethnic households.
[Southern Xinjiang:The cultural feast of Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau] 
✨[New Southern Train Xiaoxiang Hao: Panoramic in-depth tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, the cost-effective choice for off-season travel]✨Kashgar Old City is the essence of Xinjiang’s human culture. In 2026, intangible cultural heritage handicraft experience halls were added inside the ancient city, where visitors can personally make pottery or Atlas silk. Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau and Muztagh Ata appear in the same frame; a permit is required (can be obtained free of charge at the Kashgar International Self-Driving RV Camp). During visits to local ethnic households, visitors can taste specialty pilaf, enjoy eagle dance performances, and feel the warmth of the plateau ethnic groups.
