📍 Recommended customized car rental for niche Xinjiang loop tours:Deep into the hinterland of the Ili River Valley, a grassland secret journey away from the crowds
With the arrival of the 2026 peak tourist season, more and more travelers are focusing on Xinjiang itineraries that avoid popular check-in spots and offer a greater sense of exploration. Compared to high-frequency routes like Kanas and Duku Highway, some secondary destinations in the western Ili River Valley are gradually becoming preferred choices for photography enthusiasts, nature observers, and deep travelers. These areas have inconvenient transportation and scarce public transit, but feature pristine scenery and low tourist density, making them very suitable for flexible exploration through customized car rental. Based on the latest available information from June 2026, this article compiles a loop route starting from Yining that balances niche appeal and feasibility, along with compliant car rental service instructions.
🌿 Detailed introduction to the route or destination
This recommended route focuses on the western section of the Ili River Valley, covering the following core areas:
Qiongkushitai Village:Located in the southwest of Tekes County, it is one of the better-preserved traditional villages deep in the Tianshan Mountains. The village mostly features wooden houses, surrounded by spruce forests and grasslands. The road into the village is gravel, with some narrow and winding sections, so it is recommended to use a vehicle with a high chassis, such as a 7-seater or larger. As of mid-June 2026, the scenic area is open normally, no reservation required, entry with valid ID.
Kalajun Grassland (West Kalajun + Kuokesu Grand Canyon): Along with Nalati, it is one of the two major grasslands in Ili, but with relatively fewer tourists. West Kalajun is known for its ‘human body grassland’ landform, while Kuokesu Grand Canyon offers views of winding rivers and canyon landscapes via cable car. Summer operations in 2026 have fully started, with sightseeing cars running from 8:30 to 19:30, combined ticket access, supporting on-site ticket purchase or online platform booking.
📍 Recommended customized car rental for niche Xinjiang loop tours: Deep into the hinterland of the Ili River Valley, a grassland secret journey away from the crowdsXia Ancient Trail (General Bridge area):A popular spot for hiking enthusiasts, currently open to General Bridge, with glacier viewpoints heavily affected by weather, so pay attention to the day’s announcements from the scenic area. Vehicles can park at the Xia Ancient Trail scenic area parking lot and transfer to shuttle buses to enter.
Zhaosu Rapeseed Flower Fields (early flower sea in late June):Although the peak bloom is in July, some fields are already open by the end of June, suitable for travelers who like to take photos ahead of the crowds. The roadside pastoral scenery is open with no ticket restrictions.
Tekes Bagua City:The world’s largest Bagua-shaped city, with no traffic lights in the urban area, suitable for slow-paced strolling. The surrounding dining and accommodation facilities are mature, making it an ideal transfer point on the loop.
The above areas all implement a real-name entry policy, and some require health information registration (subject to on-site requirements). Due to scattered attractions and complex road conditions, it is recommended to choose a driver service familiar with local terrain to improve itinerary efficiency and safety.
