How to find reliable custom vehicle services in Yili for the lavender season? Complete analysis and price list for 7-seater business vehicles.
🌿 Detailed introduction to the route or destination:How beautiful is Yili during the lavender season?
June in the Yili River Valley is synonymous with purple romance. The contiguous purple flower fields of Huocheng Lavender Manor and Jieyou Princess Farm, together with those in Provence and Hokkaido, are known as the ‘World’s Top Three Lavender Bases.’ In 2026, Huocheng will open new areas such as Lucaogou Town and Daxigou Township, where visitors can enter for free with valid ID registration, without needing additional permits. Here, you can not only capture the flower fields in the morning mist but also visit lavender essential oil distillation workshops and experience making handmade sachets.
In addition to lavender, Yili’s grasslands and lakes are also worth exploring. The aerial grasslands and Snow Lotus Valley of Nalati Grassland, the Kuokesu Canyon and Human Body Grassland of Kalajun Grassland, and the scenic drive around Sayram Lake with the Guozigou Bridge are all popular choices for summer escapes in June. The northern section of the Duku Highway is expected to open in early June. If time permits, consider taking the ‘Yining-Sayram Lake-Nalati-Duku Highway-Yining’ loop route, which combines multiple landscapes of flower fields, grasslands, and canyons.
