📍 Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
The Northern and Southern Xinjiang Grand Loop is a classic choice for in-depth Xinjiang tours, covering the main scenic areas on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, typically taking 12 to 18 days. The route connects Urumqi, Heavenly Lake Tianshan, Koktokay, Kanas, Hemu, Colorful Beach, Urho Devil City, Sayram Lake, Yining, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway, Kuqa, Aksu, Kashgar, Taxkorgan, and other places, encompassing diverse landscapes and cultural sites such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, deserts, and ancient cities.
Among them, the Duku Highway in 2026 will still maintain its opening rule from early June to the end of September each year, allowing only vehicles with 7 seats or fewer. Along the way, you can experience the vertical climate and landscape changes of ‘four seasons in one day.’ The Pamir Plateau area (such as Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, and Panlong Ancient Road) has good road conditions, suitable for business vehicles and above, but high-altitude sections have certain requirements for vehicle performance.
The Southern Xinjiang section centers on Kashgar, extending to Taxkorgan County, with attractions along the way including Kashgar Old City, Xiangfei Garden, Id Kah Mosque (exterior), Oytak Red Mountain, Baisha Lake, and Golden Grass Beach. Northern Xinjiang focuses on the Altay region, with Kanas Three Bays, Hemu Village wooden houses, and Colorful Beach sunset as popular check-in spots.
