The ‘Kunlun’ runs through Xinjiang’s core scenic belt, covering multiple representative areas in Eastern, Southern, and Northern Xinjiang over a 14-day itinerary. From the Flaming Mountains and thousand-year-old Karez in Turpan, to the red Danxia of Kuqa Grand Canyon; from the白沙湖 and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, to the majestic winding of the Panlong Ancient Road in Taxkorgan; then to the lavender gardens in the Ili River Valley, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, and the Hemu morning mist and Kanas Three Bays in the Altay region… each stop showcases Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and cultural features.
