Star Recommendation✨:2026 Yili Off-Road Business Custom Vehicle Deep Experience Guide – Professional Driver + Custom Route, Unlock the Secret Realm of the Tianshan Mountains
[Detailed Explanation of Routes and Destinations]
The Yili River Valley is known as the ‘Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall,’ with summer (June-September) being the prime season for travel. Here, you’ll find both the vastness of snow-capped mountains and grasslands, as well as the tranquility of streams and villages. In 2026, the core travel route will focus on the ‘Yizhao Highway—Kalajun—Qiongkushitai—Nalati’ line. Based on recent transportation policies and scenic area operations, the following must-visit destinations are recommended:
Sayram Lake:In 2026, timed entry reservations will be required, with operating hours from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily. The full lake circuit is approximately 90 kilometers, and it is recommended to spend 4-5 hours there, with key photography spots including Jinhua Zihui, Songshu Tou, and Dianjiang Tai. Electric sightseeing buses are available within the scenic area, but custom vehicles can stop at non-fixed points to capture the blue of ‘the last tear of the Atlantic.’
Kalajun Grassland: East and West Kalajun have merged operations. In 2026, the combined ticket for entry and shuttle bus is 165 yuan per person, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It is recommended to hike the section from Huaxian Tai to Lieying Tai, approximately 6 kilometers, where you can see snow-capped spruce forests, wildflower meadows, and the yurts of local Kazakh herders.
Qiongkushitai Village:The village retains its original wooden house charm, with some unpaved roads leading in. It is recommended to use an SUV or off-road vehicle. In 2026, the number of guesthouses in the village will increase to 32, but advance reservations are still necessary during peak season.
Nalati Grassland: The aerial grasslands and river valley grasslands are managed separately. In 2026, the peak season ticket with shuttle bus is 135 yuan per person, with operating hours from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Self-driving tourists need to pay an additional 300 yuan per vehicle for self-drive access (including insurance), but this is already included in custom vehicle services, so no repeat purchase is necessary.
Huocheng Lavender:The peak blooming period is in mid-to-late June each year. In 2026, some farms (such as Jieyou Princess Lavender Garden) will offer nighttime light shows, extending operating hours to 10:00 PM.
