In 2026, these scenic spots are all in normal operation:
Tianshan Tianchi (Peak season April–October):Glacial meltwater forms a turquoise lake. In 2026, tickets are 95 RMB/person, valid for two days, with free entry on your birthday.

Sayram Lake:In 2026, private cars are banned from circling the lake; you need to take a shuttle bus or a vehicle arranged by the travel agency. The weather around the lake is changeable, so bring a windproof jacket and sun protection.
Southern Section of Duku Highway:Expected to fully open by the end of May, open daily from 9:00 to 20:00. Along the way, you can see the red rock walls of the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon and the clear waters of Big and Small Dragon Pools.
Pamir Plateau Area (Karakul Lake, Golden Grassland, Stone City):This is a border management area, requiring advance application for relevant travel permits, which the travel agency can assist with.
Three Treasures of Turpan:The Grape Valley is fragrant with fruit, the Flaming Mountains are hot, and the Karez Wells showcase ancient wisdom. Summer fruits are ripe, offering an excellent experience.
