Starred Recommendation✨:2026 Northern Xinjiang In-Depth Carpooling Tour – Sailboat Experience on Sayram Lake + Panoramic Nature Exploration
[Route Highlights and Destination Details]
Northern Xinjiang is renowned for its three-dimensional landscape interwoven with snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests, and grasslands. The carpooling route launched in the summer of 2026 integrates core scenic spots such as Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, and Nalati Grassland, paired with scenic avenues like the Duku Highway and the Ahe Highway. The itinerary is designed to balance natural scenery with cultural experiences.
Sayram Lake:The Last Tear Drop of the Atlantic
As the highest and largest alpine lake in Xinjiang, Sayram Lake features a blue-green gradient lake surface in summer, surrounded by attractions such as Swan’s Delight and Kele Yongzhu. In 2026, a new sailboat experience project will be introduced, allowing tourists to take a boat ride to observe the naturally growing swans in the lake up close. The boat ride lasts approximately 40 minutes and is equipped with professional life-saving equipment and guides.
Kanas and Hemu:The Secret Realm of Tuvan Culture
Kanas Lake is famous for its color-changing lake and Wolong Bay. Within the scenic area, visitors can hike the Sanwan Boardwalk or climb the Guanyu Platform for a panoramic view. Hemu Village, as a settlement of the Tuvan people, retains its log architecture and morning mist scenery. In 2026, accommodation conditions will be upgraded, with some teams providing standard rooms in wooden houses within the village, facilitating tourists to photograph the sunrise.
Nalati Grassland:The Wonder of the Air Grassland
Nalati is divided into two major areas: the River Valley Grassland and the Air Grassland. From June to August, wildflowers are abundant everywhere. Tourists can ride horses through Xuelian Valley or take a shuttle bus to the top of the Nomad’s Home to overlook the snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains. In 2026, some teams will add a grassland afternoon tea experience, offering special snacks and milk tea from various ethnic groups.
