Yili Tour Group 2026 Recommended Quotation Overview:Unlock the Summer Romance of the ‘Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall’
🌿 Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination:
Yili, known as the ‘Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall,’ attracts countless travelers with its unique natural scenery and diverse culture. In the summer of 2026, Yili welcomes its peak tourist season, with grasslands, lakes, flower fields, and snow-capped mountains weaving together breathtaking scenes. From the deep blue of Sayram Lake to the romance of Huocheng lavender, from the vastness of Nalati Grassland to the soft beauty of Kalajun Grassland, every spot leaves visitors enchanted.
Sayram Lake: As the highest and largest alpine lake in Xinjiang, Sayram Lake is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and magnificent scenery. In 2026, the scenic area has added a ‘Starry Sky Campervan Campground’ accommodation option, allowing visitors to gaze at the starry sky by the lakeside and enjoy the stunning view of the Milky Way reflecting on the water.
Huocheng Lavender: From mid-June to mid-July, Huocheng’s lavender fields are in full bloom. The Jieyou Princess Lavender Garden, in collaboration with nearby niche flower fields, offers visitors a dreamy purple world. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to photograph lavender, avoiding the harsh midday sunlight for better pictures.
Nalati Grassland: As one of the world’s four major river valley grasslands, Nalati Grassland is famous for its dual-route tours of the aerial grassland and river valley grassland. In 2026, the scenic area has opened the ‘Snow Lotus Valley Light Hiking’ project, allowing visitors to hike along the route, admire wild lilies and snow lotuses, and experience the enchanting charm of nature.
Kalajun Grassland:The combined tour of the three-dimensional grassland and the Kuokesu Grand Canyon makes Kalajun Grassland another highlight of Yili tourism. In 2026, the scenic area has launched a ‘Local Family Visit’ experience activity, where visitors can go deep into local homes, participate in traditional activities such as making nang (a type of bread) and milking cows, and feel the unique charm of various ethnic cultures.
