As Xinjiang’s first lavender-themed sightseeing park, Princess Jieyou Lavender Garden features 600 acres of purple flower fields, a full industrial chain display, and a blend of Han culture, making it the most popular destination for tourists in summer 2026. This 8-day themed itinerary connects classic attractions and hidden gems in Northern Xinjiang, covering core scenic spots such as Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake, while delving into the Huocheng Lavender Base for a visual feast of the ‘purple ocean.’
