This 16-day route connects the core landscapes of Eastern, Southern, and Northern Xinjiang. Starting from Turpan, it goes to Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau to experience the vast terrain of Southern Xinjiang, then traverses the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway into Northern Xinjiang, passing through Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, and heading north to Hemu and Kanas, finally returning from Urumqi. The entire journey avoids backtracking, allowing you to see various landscapes such as the Gobi Desert, canyons, snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and forests in one trip.
Eastern and Southern Xinjiang Sections: The Karez irrigation system in Turpan is a unique artificial irrigation system passed down for thousands of years, while the Flaming Mountains are known for their distinctive red rock formations and hot climate. The ancient city of Kashgar retains traditional street layouts, with many handicraft shops and food stalls along the streets, offering a strong sense of local life. The Pamir Plateau section passes through白沙山白沙湖, Karakul Lake, and Muztagh Ata, where clear plateau lakes and snow-capped mountains create a vast and stunning scenery. Note that the Pamir Plateau has a high altitude; prepare anti-altitude sickness items in advance, avoid strenuous activities during the tour, and obtain a通行证 before entering the plateau. After registration, consult customer service for document preparation, and the travel agency can assist with the procedures. The temperature difference between day and night in Southern Xinjiang is significant, so bring warm clothing. The climate is also dry, so prepare moisturizing skincare products and a thermos in advance.
Duku Highway Section:The Duku Highway is about 561 kilometers long, connecting multiple core scenic spots in Northern and Southern Xinjiang. Along the way, you can see different landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and canyons, making it one of the most recommended scenic highways in China. Due to climate and geological conditions, the highway is generally open from June to October each year. All tour dates in this itinerary fall within the regular opening period. If special weather affects traffic, both parties can negotiate reasonable itinerary changes. The journey will pass through the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, visiting attractions such as Tianshan Grand Canyon, Bayanbulak Swan Lake, and Nalati Grassland. Bayanbulak’s wetlands are home to many naturally growing birds, while Nalati Grassland’s mountain meadow landscape is rich in layers, perfect for a leisurely exploration.
Northern Xinjiang Section: The Six-Star Street in Yining retains unique street layouts, with many characteristic residential houses and shops along the street. The Tianshan Flower Sea scenic area blooms with vast expanses of flowers in summer. Sayram Lake is surrounded by mountains, with lake colors changing with the light, and the lakeside grasslands and snow-capped mountains complement each other. Hemu and Kanas scenic areas are located in the Altai Mountains region. Hemu Village features scattered wooden houses, with a fresh scenery in the morning mist. Kanas scenic area includes Moon Bay, Fairy Bay, and Wolong Bay, each with its own characteristics. You can also take a boat tour on the lake and climb to the Fish Viewing Platform to overlook the entire lake area. Note that accommodation conditions in Kanas and Hemu scenic areas differ from those in the city, and network signals may occasionally be weak. Prepare in advance before the trip. The temperature difference between day and night in the scenic areas is significant, so bring a light down jacket or thick windbreaker even in summer.
