As a popular route for carpooling tours in Xinjiang in 2026, the Northern Xinjiang Ili Grassland Loop connects five core attractions: Sayram Lake, the Guozigou Bridge, the Kalajun Grassland, the Xiata Ancient Path, and the Nalati Grassland, forming a 6-day golden itinerary. This route offers three major advantages:
Rich Natural Landscapes:From alpine lakes to three-dimensional grasslands, from canyon landscapes to primitive villages, each day offers a unique experience
Mature Transportation Conditions:The entire route features paved roads, allowing unobstructed passage for 7-seater commercial vehicles, with an average daily driving time controlled within 4 hours

Key Landscape Updates:
Sayram Lake:Implements a timed reservation system, open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with an admission + shuttle bus fee of 145 RMB per person. Six observation decks are set up along the 90-kilometer lake loop, with the peak blooming period of golden lotus flowers in mid-to-late June offering excellent photography opportunities.
Nalati Grassland:Both the aerial grassland and river valley grassland areas are open, with an admission + shuttle bus fee of 135 RMB per person. The scenic area limits daily visitors to 12,000, so it is recommended to make advance reservations through the “Smart Travel Nalati” mini-program.
