🌿 Route Features and Destination Highlights
This route covers multiple popular tourist areas in Xinjiang, each offering a different experience:
Tianshan Tianchi:Visitors traveling in spring should be cautious of slippery roads and bring warm clothing; in summer, UV rays are strong, so sun protection is recommended. Carry a light jacket and an umbrella that works for both sun and rain to shield against UV rays and sudden downpours.
Kanas and Hemu Area: In 2026, Kanas and Hemu scenic spots will allow ticket purchases without reservations. From May 1st, they will switch to summer operation mode, open from 8:00 to 20:00. The scenic areas have shuttle buses and village buses for convenient travel. Climbing to the Fish Viewing Platform offers a panoramic view of Kanas Lake.
Sayram Lake:To enter the scenic area, you need to purchase tickets and shuttle bus tickets. Certain groups can enjoy discounts with valid documents. It is recommended to buy tickets online in advance to reduce waiting time. Key spots within the area include Moon Bay, Qinshui Beach, Swan’s Paradise, and Dianjiangtai. The lake area has changeable weather, so bringing a jacket and rain gear is essential. If you want to try the specialty high white salmon, plan ahead, or bring some snacks as dining options in the scenic area are limited.
Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak Area:The temperature difference between morning and evening at Nalati Grassland is significant, so bring a thick jacket. If you choose horseback riding, confirm the regular operating spots in advance to avoid mid-route price hikes. Do not feed the livestock in the scenic area to avoid unnecessary complaints or suggestions.
Pamir Plateau Area: May to September are suitable for travel. The plateau has large temperature differences between day and night, so bring warm clothing, moisturizing skincare products, and a thermos. A travel permit is required to enter the Pamir Plateau; if traveling with a group, the travel agency can assist with the application. The plateau is at a high altitude, so prepare anti-altitude sickness supplies in advance. Avoid strenuous activities and inform companions if you feel unwell.
Kashgar, Wensu Grand Canyon, and Turpan Area: Kashgar Old City offers a taste of local life, the unique landscape of Wensu Grand Canyon is great for photos, and Turpan’s Flaming Mountain, Grape Manor, and Karez Well showcase local customs. Along the way, you can enjoy various Xinjiang cuisines, with ethnic specialties available at different spots.
The entire route combines natural landscapes and cultural experiences. The special train reduces the fatigue of long-distance transfers, and the itinerary is well-paced, suitable for tourists of all ages.
