【🌸Spring In-Depth Tour of Xinghua Valley · Custom Car Rental & Carpooling Complete Guide | 2026 Latest Edition】
I. Key Highlights of the Route: Unlock the Secret Realm of Tianshan Apricot Blossoms
(1) Nalati Apricot Blossom Valley (formerly Turgen Apricot Blossom Valley)
As Xinjiang’s largest naturally growing apricot forest, this area boasts 30,000 acres of pristine apricot groves. The apricot trees are distributed in a stepped pattern along the mountain ridges, creating a three-dimensional landscape where “flowers fall at the foot of the mountain while they still bloom at the peak.” According to 2026 bloom monitoring, influenced by spring temperature fluctuations, the peak bloom period is concentrated from April 8th to 15th, with high-altitude areas sustaining blooms until around April 20th. It is recommended to arrive early in the morning, take the shuttle bus directly to the core viewing platform, and hike along the wooden walkway to Viewing Platform 2 for a panoramic view of the pink and white sea of flowers intertwined with snow-capped mountains and grasslands.
(2) Huocheng Daxigou Fushou Mountain
Known as a “late-blooming secret realm,” the apricot blossoms here bloom 5-7 days later than those in Nalati. They bloom simultaneously with over 30 types of wild fruit flowers, including wild plum and wild apple, creating a richly layered floral carpet landscape. The rugged terrain of the scenic area contrasts beautifully with the apricot blossoms, making it ideal for photography enthusiasts to capture unique perspectives.
(3) Kuldning Snow-Capped Apricot Grove in Gongliu
This apricot grove landscape backed by the snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains is recommended for travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences. Here, apricot trees coexist with spruce trees, and snowmelt nourishes fertile meadows. It can be paired with a one-day tour of Nalati Grassland to experience a three-dimensional spring scene where “scenery contains flowers and flowers are part of the scenery.”
