【Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination】
In 2026, Urumqi welcomes visitors from across the country with a more open attitude. As the capital of Xinjiang, it is not only a transportation hub but also a convergence of diverse landscapes including snow-capped mountains, lakes, and grasslands. This 4-day tour for two focuses on “economical + in-depth experience,” featuring three core attractions: Heavenly Lake on Tianshan Mountain, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, covering classic natural landscapes in northern Xinjiang. The average daily driving time is controlled within 3-4 hours, leaving ample time for photography and rest, suitable for couples, friends, or families.
