📍 [Kashgar-Altay Customized Car Rental Tour | 2026 In-depth Cross-Region New Experience in Northern Xinjiang]
If you plan to embark on a journey across northern and southern Xinjiang in 2026, starting from the key southern city of Kashgar, heading north through the Tianshan Mountains all the way to the ‘Snow Capital’ Altay, this connected route is becoming an increasingly popular choice for travelers. Unlike traditional single-point loops, the combination of Kashgar and Altay links desert oases, alpine lakes, grasslands, forests, and border villages, covering about 2,500 kilometers, ideal for a 7–10 day in-depth slow tour. Below is practical information compiled based on recent operations in 2026.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to the Route and Destinations
Kashgar, as an important node on the western end of the Silk Road, features historical and cultural attractions such as the High Terrace Residences, Id Kah Mosque, and Kashgar Old City, serving as a window to experience multicultural integration. The Altay region, on the other hand, is known for its natural ecology, including core scenic spots like Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Baihaba, Colorful Beach, and Koktokay, listed among the ‘Featured Eco-Tourism Routes’ released by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration in 2024.
Although the two places are far apart, flexible connections can be achieved through customized car rental with a driver. The itinerary typically follows the G3012 Turpan-Hotan Expressway to the G30 Lianhuo Expressway, then north along National Highway G217, passing through Korla, Dushanzi, Burqin, and other places, with optional stops at Luntai Poplar Forest (autumn), Ulungur Lake, and the Devil City. The route features diverse landscapes including oases, Gobi deserts, snow-capped mountains, river valleys, and primeval forests, offering different scenery in all seasons—spring apricot blossoms, summer grasslands, autumn layered forests, and winter snowfields—all worth seeing.
