This route connects six core attractions: Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain, the Three Bays of Kanas, Hemu Village, a full loop around Sayram Lake, the aerial grasslands of Nalati, and the northern section of the Duku Highway, with an average daily driving time of under 4 hours, balancing scenic density and comfort.
