📍 [2026 Xinjiang In-Depth Cross-Region Customized Tour:Altay-Kashgar Integrated Customized Car Rental New Experience]
As the 2026 summer tourism peak season approaches, more and more tourists are focusing on long-distance itineraries spanning northern and southern Xinjiang. Unlike traditional single-point loop routes, the integrated route starting from the ‘Snow Capital’ Altay, heading south across the Tianshan Mountains and the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, and finally arriving at the Silk Road hub Kashgar, is becoming a new choice for travelers seeking diverse landscapes and cultural experiences. The total distance is about 2,500 kilometers, covering alpine lakes, grasslands, forests, oasis ancient cities, and border villages, suitable for a 7–10 day in-depth slow tour.
The following content is compiled based on real-time operational information available in late June 2026 for reference by those planning to travel.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The Altay region is centered on natural ecological landscapes, featuring famous scenic spots such as Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Baihaba, Colorful Beach, and Koktokay. Among them, Kanas Lake is known as the ‘back garden,’ with the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Dragon Bay) shrouded in morning mist; Hemu Village preserves traditional Tuvan wooden house settlements, making it an ideal place for photography and slow living; Colorful Beach is famous for its Yadan landform meeting the Irtysh River, creating unique light and shadow, especially spectacular at sunset.
Kashgar, as an important node at the western end of the Silk Road, gathers historical and cultural attractions such as the High Terrace Folk Houses, the area around Id Kah Mosque, and the Kashgar Ancient City. After renovation, the High Terrace Folk Houses have reopened, offering a complementary perspective to the Kashgar Ancient City; the Fragrant Concubine Garden combines gardens with historical narratives, showcasing a corner of border region governance during the Qing Dynasty. If you continue to extend to the Pamir Plateau, you can also visit Baisha Lake, the Muztagh Ata viewing platform, the Golden Grassland of Tashkurgan County, and the Stone City ruins.
