🌄 Detailed introduction to the route and destinations
This route covers various types of scenery, including southern Xinjiang’s culture, plateau landscapes, the Tianshan Highway, and northern Xinjiang’s grasslands and lakes, with each section having its own unique features:
🍇 Turpan section:Turpan, known as the ‘Land of Fire,’ is the first stop in Xinjiang on the itinerary. The Karez Well is a millennium-old underground irrigation system and a lifeline for Turpan’s residents. The scenic area has steep steps, so it is recommended to wear flat shoes and bring a small flashlight to view the well’s interior. The Flaming Mountain has high temperatures in summer, so bring plenty of drinking water, use physical sun protection, and carry heatstroke prevention supplies. The Grape Valley is filled with grape trellises, and fresh seedless white grapes are sweet. Tourists wanting to buy dried fruit souvenirs should choose regular supermarkets in the scenic area to avoid high prices from street vendors.
🕌 Kashgar section:Kashgar is an important city in southern Xinjiang and a key node on the ancient Silk Road. The Kashgar Old City is a living earthen city with over 2,100 years of history, currently open to the public for free from 10:00 to 22:00 daily. Tourists wanting to see the night view can enter after 20:30. While exploring the old city, pay attention to the paving bricks: hexagonal bricks indicate public streets, while square bricks mark residential alleys. Do not disturb residents’ daily lives. The Fragrant Concubine Park’s reference ticket price for 2026 is 40 yuan per person, with regular folk song and dance performances daily. The Baisha Lake along the Pamir Plateau is currently free to visit, but winds are strong, so bring a windproof jacket. The Karakul Lake reference ticket price is 50 yuan per person, offering excellent views of Muztagh Ata. The combined ticket for the Stone City and Golden Grassland in 2026 is 120 yuan per person, with the grassland turning golden at sunset for great photo opportunities. A permit is required for attractions along the Pamir Plateau, which can be obtained for free at the Kashgar Government Service Center.
🛣 ️ Duku Highway section:The Duku Highway is expected to fully open on May 31, 2026, with the southern section from Kuqa to Nalati. This highway runs through the Tianshan Mountains, offering views of snow-capped mountains, canyons, grasslands, and attractions like the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon. The terrain along the highway is undulating, and itineraries may be adjusted based on real-time road conditions with mutual agreement.
🌿 Northern Xinjiang grasslands and lakes section:The Nalati Valley Grassland has lush vegetation and fresh air, ideal for leisurely walks. Sayram Lake has clear waters and well-developed facilities, with different lake views along the shore. The Kanas Scenic Area offers views of pristine forests and lakes. These attractions will be open normally in 2026, and visitors should prepare relevant documents for verification at the entrance.

💡 Travel tips
Before heading to high-altitude areas like the Pamir Plateau, prepare physically in advance. Tourists with underlying health conditions should consult a doctor beforehand. Xinjiang is vast, with long drives on some sections, so bring neck pillows and portable snacks for comfort. There is about a 2-hour time difference from inland China, so gradually adjust your schedule to local time. Respect local customs, protect the scenic environment, and travel responsibly.
