Many tourists planning their first trip to Xinjiang are often troubled by the long distances and complex mountain road conditions brought by the vast region. The travel mode of custom charter vehicles with drivers can not only avoid the fatigue of self-driving but also flexibly adjust the itinerary pace, suitable for family trips, group outings with friends, business team building, and other travel needs.

Among them, the ticket policy for Tianshan Tianchi in 2026 is 95 yuan/person during peak season (April 1 to October 31) and 45 yuan/person during winter-spring (November 1 to March 31 of the following year). Tickets are valid for two days, and there are multiple discounts for specific groups throughout the year, such as free admission for medical staff in May and teachers in September with relevant certificates, and free admission for tourists on their birthday with valid ID. Eligible tourists can inform staff in advance for assistance. This route features forests, grasslands, lakes, and snow-capped mountains, suitable for tourists who prefer natural scenery, with the best travel period from May to October.
The second category is the Southern Xinjiang cultural and natural combined route, covering spots like Lop Nur Village, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Kashgar Ancient City, Pamir Plateau, and Taklamakan Desert. Along the way, you can see Silk Road relics, local cultural customs, desert poplar forests, and other landscapes, suitable for travel all year round.
The third category is short-distance highlight routes, such as the 5-7 day Ili Grassland Loop, covering spots like Sayram Lake, Huocheng Lavender, Nalati Grassland, and Kalajun Grassland, with a daily driving time of 4-6 hours, offering a relatively relaxed pace suitable for tourists with limited vacation time.
