Explore Xinjiang:An immersive experience of a comprehensive in-depth group tour.
⭐【Itinerary and Destination Highlights:From Northern Xinjiang to Southern Xinjiang, unlock the diverse beauty of Xinjiang】
Xinjiang, a land that covers one-sixth of China’s territory, boasts an exquisite combination of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, and Gobi landscapes. The 2026 Xinjiang travel itinerary has been optimized and upgraded, placing greater emphasis on the combination of ‘slow travel’ and ‘in-depth experiences.’ This comprehensive group tour features ‘natural wonders of Northern Xinjiang + cultural charm of Southern Xinjiang’ as its main theme, covering core attractions such as Urumqi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and the Old Town of Kashgar. The itinerary is designed to balance classic destinations with off-the-beaten-path spots, avoiding a rushed experience.
Northern Xinjiang Section:A symphony of nature and ecology
Kanas Lake: In 2026, the scenic area will implement a ‘timed reservation system’ with a daily limit of 12,000 visitors. Reservations must be made 3 days in advance through the platform. The lake area now features new ecological trails, allowing hikes to Guanyu Platform for an overhead view of the lake. In summer, the lake shimmers emerald green, while autumn transforms the surrounding forests into a tapestry of colors, making it a paradise for photographers.
Sayram Lake:The entire ring road around the lake is now accessible, and the group tour includes ‘self-drive-style sightseeing vehicles’ that allow stops for photos at any time. In 2026, the scenic area will introduce a stargazing campsite where visitors can spend the night by the lakeside and observe the Milky Way.
Nalati Grassland:The best time to visit is from June to August when wildflowers blanket the grassland, dotted with yurts of local ethnic groups. The group tour includes a ‘horseback riding on the grassland’ experience, led by professional horse handlers for safety.
Southern Xinjiang Section:A clash of history and culture
The Old Town of Kashgar:In 2026, the old town will complete its digital upgrade, allowing visitors to learn about architectural history through AR glasses. Don’t miss the daily opening ceremonies at 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, featuring traditional songs and dances performed by artists from various ethnic groups in a lively atmosphere.
Pamir Plateau:A permit is required (handled uniformly by the travel agency for group tours). Traveling along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, visitors can visit attractions such as Baisha Lake and Muztagh Ata. In 2026, Taxkorgan County will introduce new highland homestays, allowing visitors to experience the lifestyles of local ethnic groups.
Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves:As a representative of Buddhist art in the Western Regions, the scenic area will adopt a ‘reservation-based guided tour’ system in 2026, limiting each group to 20 visitors. Led by professional researchers, the tour provides in-depth interpretations of the stories behind the murals.
