✨ Key Highlights of the Route
Turpan Area
According to recent tourist feedback from April 2026, the temperature in Turpan in June is comfortable, not as scorching as in July or August, making it ideal for outdoor sightseeing. The cool underground water system of the Karez wells can block the outdoor heat, allowing you to intuitively experience the wisdom passed down by local residents for thousands of years. The red sandstone landforms of the Flaming Mountains are layered under the sunlight, offering great photo opportunities. The dining options near the scenic area are also reasonably priced, allowing you to taste local fruits and noodles without worrying about meal inconveniences along the way.
Pamir Plateau Area
Although the Pamir scenic area was temporarily closed in January 2026 due to snowfall, as temperatures gradually rise in summer, the scenic area will have resumed normal operations by the time the June tours depart. The clear lake surface of Baisha Mountain and Baisha Lake, as well as the view of Muztagh Ata reflected in Karakul Lake, can all be visited normally. You can also check the scenic area’s updates at any time before departure to prepare in advance.
Duku Highway Area
According to recent road condition news from April 2026, the Duku Highway is currently undergoing snow clearing and maintenance, and it is expected to fully open by the end of May. The itinerary includes visits to the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, just in time for the opening period. Along the way, you can see the red rock textures of the Tianshan Grand Canyon, the swan habitats of the Bayinbuluke Wetlands, and the early summer grass and wildflowers of the Nalati Grassland, offering a great experience. When traveling, it’s advisable to bring a windbreaker and non-slip shoes to cope with the changing mountain weather. Speed limits are clearly marked on mountain roads, and professional drivers will handle the shuttle vehicles, so you don’t need to worry about road conditions.
