In late spring and early summer of 2026, more and more tourists are choosing customized car rental and small group tours to delve into Northern Xinjiang. This approach is flexible, free, and has a controllable pace, making it especially suitable for families, friends, or photography enthusiasts. Based on the latest available information, this article compiles the prices, itinerary suggestions, and service details for customized car rental on the Yili to Kanas route, helping you plan your trip with peace of mind.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
Although Yili and Kanas are both in Northern Xinjiang, their geographical features are distinctly different:
Yili Region (represented by Yining, Zhaosu, Tekes, and Nalati):From May to July, it’s the peak blooming period for grasslands, with lavender, rapeseed flowers, and wildflower carpets spreading at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. The climate is pleasant, with an average temperature of 15–25°C.
Kanas Scenic Area (located in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture):Fully open in 2026, key attractions include Kanas Lake, Guanyu Terrace, Baihaba Village (requires a pass in advance), and Hemu Village. In May, the lake ice begins to melt, the forests turn green, and there are relatively fewer tourists, making it suitable for quiet exploration.
The distance between the two places is about 800 kilometers. Regular customized car rental itineraries need to pass through the northern section of the Duku Highway (if open) or detour via Kuytun-Karamay-Burqin. In May 2026, the Duku Highway is not yet fully open (usually opening in mid-to-late June), so the current mainstream route is the detour plan, with a total driving time of about 10–12 hours. It is recommended to split the transfer over 2–3 days.
