【Itinerary Highlights:Unlock Yili’s Golden Circuit, Immerse Yourself in Silk Road Charm】
Yili, known as the “Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall” embraced by the Tianshan Mountains, is famous for its superb scenery interwoven with snow-capped peaks, grasslands, flower fields, and lakes. In summer 2026, Xinjiang Explorer International Travel Agency launches multiple no-consumption itineraries covering core attractions like Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway, and Kalajun Grassland. The itineraries balance popular网红 (internet-famous) spots and hidden gems, with no arranged shopping or out-of-pocket expenses throughout, allowing travelers to fully enjoy nature and culture.
Sayram Lake:The Last Tear Drop of the Atlantic 💧
As Xinjiang’s highest-altitude and largest alpine lake, Sayram Lake is renowned for its “sapphire-like” waters. The 90km lakeside highway features viewpoints like Swan’s Playground, General’s Platform, and Kele Yongzhu. In 2026, the scenic area implements timed reservations with a daily limit of 12,000 visitors. Tickets must be booked in advance through travel agencies (¥145/person including shuttle bus). Explorer’s itinerary includes a sailboat experience (≈¥200/person) to sail into the lake’s heart, feeling the blend of snow-capped reflections and rippling blue waters up close.
Nalati Grassland:Poetic Dwelling Among Sky Grasslands 🌿
Nalati comprises three zones: Sky Grassland, River Valley Grassland, and Panlong Valley Road. The Sky Grassland, backed by 2,200m snow-capped peaks, is a photography hotspot. In 2026, timed reservations apply (¥95 admission + ¥40 shuttle).

Kalajun Grassland:Dynamic Curves of the Human Body Grassland 🌄
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kalajun is famous for its “human body grassland” where nomadic herding creates flowing curves against snow mountains and forests. In 2026, a combined ticket system applies (¥140/person covering East/West Kalajun + Kokesu Grand Canyon).
