Explore the Secret Realm of Northern Xinjiang:2026 Urumqi 6-Day In-Depth Northern Xinjiang Loop Tour (Tangbula + Kuerdening + Spruce Meadow)
Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination
The Northern Xinjiang Loop is one of the classic tourism routes in Xinjiang, connecting the core landscapes of the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains, covering several 5A-level scenic spots such as Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Tangbula, Kuerdening, and more. This route focuses on natural scenery and is suitable for photography enthusiasts, family trips, and those seeking in-depth cultural experiences.
Tangbula Grassland: Located in the eastern part of Nilka County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, it is a highly representative alpine meadow landscape in the Ili River Valley. The grassland is vast, crisscrossed with streams, and dotted with wildflowers. The average summer temperature is recommended to be around 20°C, making it an excellent summer retreat. Tangbula Grassland is also known as the “Hundred-Li Gallery,” where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, and streams intertwined along the way.
Kuerdening:Known as the “Most beautiful green valley in the Tianshan Mountains,” it is located in the eastern mountainous area of Gongliu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. It boasts the world’s most intact coniferous forest belt in the western Tianshan Mountains, with spruce, fir, and larch forming a vertical ecological corridor. The core hiking sections of Kuerdening include three secret realms: the Spruce King Canyon (to visit the “King of Spruces” aged over 800 years), the Snow Lotus Valley Waterfall Group (a group of waterfalls with a three-stage drop of over 40 meters visible after hiking 3 kilometers along the stream), and the Kabanbayi Viewing Platform (hiking to an altitude of 2,800 meters for a 360-degree view of the Tianshan Mountains).
Spruce Meadow:Located deep within the Kuerdening scenic area, it is an alpine meadow that has not been overly developed. Wildflowers bloom in summer, and the forests are ablaze with color in autumn, making it an excellent location for hiking and photography. Several viewing platforms are also distributed on the meadow, offering panoramic views of the magnificent scenery of the entire Kuerdening Canyon.
