Key Destination Highlights (Latest 2026 Information)
Hami Grand Sea Road Devil City: As a yardang landform group formed by wind erosion over millions of years, it offers free admission in 2026 for visitors born in the Year of the Horse. It is recommended to purchase a separate self-driving ticket to enter. The scenic area features various shaped yardang mounds, with rich light and shadow effects at dusk, ideal for landscape photography.
Tianshan Tianchi Lake: Located on the north side of Bogda Peak in the eastern Tianshan Mountains. Visitors in spring and summer 2026 should note that snow may not have fully melted in spring, requiring caution against slipping and warm, windproof clothing due to low temperatures. Summer has strong sunlight and high UV levels, so sunscreen is recommended, along with a portable umbrella for both sun and rain protection.
Nalati Grassland: As one of the world’s four major valley grasslands, it is suitable for visiting from May to September. From late May to June, snow lotus and wild lilies bloom; July to August features lush grass and cool weather; September turns the grassland golden, perfect for photography. The area offers three routes: aerial grassland, valley grassland, and Panlong Valley Road, plus activities like horseback riding and visiting local families.
Duku Highway: Expected to open from mid-May to early October 2026. This scenic road through the Tianshan Mountains offers a ‘four seasons in one day, different skies in ten miles’ experience. The itinerary selects the best section of the Duku Highway, eliminating the need for self-planned travel permits.

Pamir Plateau:Open all day throughout 2026. Popular spots include Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland. Due to high altitude, visitors should prepare anti-altitude sickness items and avoid strenuous activities.
Sayram Lake:As a famous high-altitude lake in Xinjiang, it features clear waters surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Wildflowers bloom along the lakeshore in spring and summer, and a lake tour offers different perspectives of the scenery.
