The main 16-day panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang in 2026 connects the most representative natural and cultural landscapes on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains: from the Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau to the ancient city of Kashgar in southern Xinjiang; from the magnificent canyons along the southern section of the Duku Highway to the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of the Bayanbulak Grassland; and then to Sayram Lake, Hemu Village, Kanas Lake, and the Colorful Beach in northern Xinjiang… Snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, ancient cities, and border scenery are all covered.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the itinerary includes a small group experience of a deep tour of the southern section of the Duku Highway and the Panlong Ancient Road in a 7-seat business vehicle, avoiding large tourist areas and enhancing travel comfort. All ground transfers are equipped with professional guides and vehicles to ensure a smooth journey.
