Detailed Explanation of Customized Vehicle Costs for Group Tours in Northern and Southern Xinjiang (2026 Updated Version)
[Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination]
The geographical landscapes of Northern and Southern Xinjiang differ significantly. Northern Xinjiang is represented by snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes, while Southern Xinjiang focuses on deserts, gobi landscapes, and cultural heritage sites. Among the popular segmented routes for 2026, the Northern Xinjiang loop covers natural attractions such as Heavenly Lake on Tianshan Mountain, Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake, suitable for tourists seeking visual impact. The Southern Xinjiang route connects Kuqa Grand Canyon, Kashgar Old Town, and the Pamir Plateau, ideal for travelers interested in history, culture, and folk customs. Both routes can be flexibly combined based on group needs to form an 8-12 day in-depth travel itinerary.
Among the core attractions in Northern Xinjiang, Kanas Scenic Area requires real-name reservation for entry, with a daily limit of 12,000 visitors. It is recommended to book tickets 3 days in advance through the platform (peak season: 145 yuan/person + shuttle bus 70 yuan/person). Due to limited capacity of wooden cabin homestays in Hemu Village, accommodations should be booked 1 month in advance during peak season. The Sayram Lake Ring Road spans 92 kilometers, with 3 new viewpoints added in 2026. Self-driving vehicles must follow the designated route. Kashgar Old Town in Southern Xinjiang offers free admission, but internal venues like Id Kah Mosque require separate tickets (peak season: 30 yuan/person). A border pass is required along the Pamir Plateau route; travel agencies can assist with materials, with final approval subject to local authorities.
