Whether it’s Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake in northern Xinjiang, or the Pamir Plateau, Kashgar Old City, and poplar forests on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert in southern Xinjiang, you can easily visit them all.
It’s worth noting that the itinerary fully considers Xinjiang’s climate characteristics, with daytime tours concentrated between 9:00 and 19:00, avoiding the hot afternoon hours.
