[Group Tour of Xinjiang Lavender Season:Unlock N Ways of Purple Romance]
🌿 Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination
The lavender season in Xinjiang marks one of the most captivating times in the Yili River Valley of Northern Xinjiang. From late June to mid-July each year, the lavender fields in Huocheng County reach full bloom, creating a stunning purple sea that contrasts beautifully with the blue sky and white clouds. The air is filled with a delicate fragrance, evoking the ambiance of Provence. This place is not only a paradise for photography enthusiasts but also an ideal destination to experience pastoral life.
The lavender cultivation areas in Huocheng are primarily distributed in Qingshuihe Town, Sangong Township, and Lucaogou Town, with Jieyou Princess Lavender Farm and Keguerqin Lavender Garden being the most renowned. Jieyou Princess Farm features a “purple flower sea + French charm” theme, complete with an observation deck, a herb museum, and a DIY workshop where visitors can craft their own lavender sachets or essential oils. Keguerqin Garden, on the other hand, is celebrated for its “pristine flower fields,” with thousands of acres of undulating lavender, perfect for hiking or biking exploration.
Beyond lavender, summer in the Yili River Valley offers a multitude of surprises: the gem-blue waters of Sayram Lake, the majestic curves of the Guozigou Bridge set against snow-capped mountains, the wildflowers carpeting the Kalajun Grassland, and the mysterious layout of Tekes Bagua City… These attractions, combined with the lavender fields, form a classic “purple + green” northern Xinjiang loop route.
