🌄 Detailed Route and Destination Introduction
The ‘Dahezhinan’ 17-day panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang (Duku Highway version) covers three major regions: Eastern, Southern, and Northern Xinjiang, linking Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes:
Eastern Xinjiang – Turpan:Explore the millennium-old underground irrigation system Karez, view the red rock formations of the Flaming Mountains from afar, stroll through the Grape Valley’s shaded corridors, and experience the unique charm of oasis culture.
Southern Xinjiang – Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau:Wander through the alleys of Kashgar’s old city, visit the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb, and climb the ruins of the Stone Fortress; at Karakul Lake and白沙 Lake, gaze at the snow-capped peak of Muztagh Ata from afar, experiencing the serene beauty of highland lakes.
Along the Duku Highway:Traverse the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, known for ‘four seasons in one frame,’ passing through the Tianshan Grand Canyon, the nine bends and eighteen turns of Bayinbuluke Grassland, and the Nalati Valley Grassland, with ever-changing scenery.
Ili River Valley:Visit the Horgos Port, circle Sayram Lake—this azure water body called ‘the last tear of the Atlantic’—where in May the lake ice melts and wildflowers bloom, creating a pleasant landscape.
Northern Xinjiang – Altay:Delve into the secrets of Kanas Lake, explore the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, and admire the sunset gold of the Rainbow Beach; finally, ascend to Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain to enjoy the ‘picturesque Jade Pool’ highland lake scenery.
> Note:The Duku Highway’s annual opening period is heavily influenced by weather and road conditions, typically from early June to the end of September. The 2026 itinerary includes it as a core arrangement, but if temporary closures occur, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists to change the route.
