Northern Xinjiang highlights: Koktokay’s granite canyons, Hemu Village’s morning mist and cooking smoke, Kanas Lake’s emerald waters, Colorful Beach’s Yadan landforms, Sayram Lake’s “last tear of the Atlantic,” Nalati’s aerial grassland pastoral scenes, and Bayanbulak’s nine-bend sunset wonders.
Southern Xinjiang cultural belt:Kashgar’s ancient city with thousand-year-old street textures,白沙湖 and Karakul Lake reflecting Muztagh Ata, visits to local ethnic families, Kuqa’s Qiuci cultural relics, Turpan’s Jiaohe Ancient City and Karez water system, and Tarim’s poplar forest golden autumn hues.
All attractions are arranged based on the 2026 opening status of scenic spots. For example, the Duku Highway usually opens in early June (subject to traffic department announcements), and the itinerary has reserved reasonable flexibility; Kanas and Sayram Lake require real-name reservations for entry, and the team will assist with the process.
