📍 7-Day Split Itinerary for Northern and Southern Xinjiang:Custom Car Rental Dual-Route Plan for Ili + Kashgar (July 2026 Live Version)
Xinjiang is vast in territory. Want to cover both the lakes and mountains of Northern Xinjiang and the ancient cities and deserts of Southern Xinjiang in one trip? In the summer of 2026, more and more travelers are choosing a ‘7-day split’ deep-play approach—focusing on the grasslands and lakes of the Ili River Valley in the first half, then transitioning to Kashgar for cultural experiences in the second half. This combination avoids long-distance travel fatigue while efficiently covering the core attractions of both Northern and Southern Xinjiang. The following content is compiled based on retrievable information on scenic spot openings, transportation policies, and service details as of early July 2026, for reference by those planning a trip.

Sayram Lake, a national 5A-level scenic area, has its ring lake road fully accessible, with entrances at the East, South, and North Gates, operating on a time-slot reservation system. It is recommended to book 1–3 days in advance via the ‘One Mobile Phone Tour Xinjiang’ platform. Nalati Grassland’s three main areas—Sky Grassland, River Valley Grassland, and Panlong Valley Road—are open normally, with sightseeing buses running from 8:30 to 19:30. Kalajun Grassland offers a combined ticket for its East and West sections, with the Kuokesu Grand Canyon cable car operating normally and the ‘Human Body Grassland’ landform clearly visible. Qiongkushitai Village retains its original features, with gravel roads leading into the village; some sections are narrow with sharp turns, so vehicles with higher ground clearance are recommended.
