🌄 Core Route Highlights Introduction
Tianshan Tianchi Lake:Located in the middle section of the Tianshan Mountains northeast of Urumqi, it’s a typical alpine lake landscape with a high chance of snow peaks, spruce trees, and lake waters appearing together. The overall altitude of the scenic area is not low, and the temperature difference is more noticeable than in the city—cool in the morning and evening, with strong midday sun. It’s recommended to wear layered clothing, such as a quick-dry inner layer with a thin fleece or sweatshirt, plus a windproof jacket, and long pants for convenience. Choose non-slip sports shoes or hiking boots; the lakeside boardwalk is easy to walk on, but some side trails have gravel and slopes, so choose your route based on your fitness.
Kanas + Hemu + Colorful Beach: The Kanas scenic area will enter its summer operation period from May 1, 2026 (May 1 to October 15), implementing a real-name reservation and ticket purchase system. You can book tickets in advance through channels. The scenic area’s maximum daily capacity is 55,000 people. When the number of visitors approaches the approved capacity, early warning and visitor flow guidance measures will be activated. Check visitor flow information before traveling for a better experience during off-peak times. During the summer operation period, the scenic area is open from 08:00 to 20:00, and village buses run from 08:00 to 24:00. The mountain roads are steep and winding, so follow traffic rules and cooperate with scenic area management. Hemu’s village scenery and Colorful Beach’s sunset views are very distinctive, allowing you to easily take high-quality photos.
Sayram Lake + Guozigou Bridge + Liuxing Street: Sayram Lake is called Xinjiang’s ‘blue gem’ by many tourists, with wide lake views that are great for photos. The temperature difference between day and night is large; even in summer, bring warm clothing like a windbreaker or light down jacket. During the day, the sun is strong with high UV radiation, so prepare sunglasses, sunscreen, and sun hats. The lakeside is windy, so hold your camera and phone steady, and don’t get too close to the lake for photos. The local specialty, high white salmon, has tender and delicious meat—give it a try. The architectural scenery of Guozigou Bridge and the cultural charm of Liuxing Street are also worth experiencing slowly.
Nalati Grassland + Bayinbuluke:Nalati Grassland is divided into two core areas: the Sky Grassland and the River Valley Grassland. The Sky Grassland has a higher altitude and wide views, featuring a classic combination of snow mountains, spruce trees, and rolling meadows; the River Valley Grassland has winding streams and dense forests, with a more serene atmosphere. Allocate your time based on your preferences. Bayinbuluke’s Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns sunset view is popular among photography enthusiasts. At dusk, standing on the viewing platform, you can see the Kaidu River winding through the grassland.
Duku Southern Section + Kashgar + Pamir Plateau: The scenery along the Duku Highway is very diverse, and you can experience different landscapes of mountains, forests, and grasslands from the car. Kashgar’s old city has a rich cultural atmosphere, and the Pamir Plateau’s Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland each have unique features, offering a different highland scenery experience.
Tianshan Wensu Grand Canyon + Turpan Related Spots:The Danxia landform of Tianshan Wensu Grand Canyon is stunning. Turpan’s Flaming Mountain, Grape Manor, and Karez Well are classic Xinjiang attractions, allowing visitors to experience different landforms and cultural features of Xinjiang.
