The itinerary connects Turpan’s oasis culture, Kashgar’s ancient city texture, the lake and mountain scenery of the Pamir Plateau, the seasonal changes of the Duku Highway, the grassland and flower seas of the Ili River Valley, and the primitive forest and lake scenery of the Altay region.
Turpan Section:Visit the Karez well, an ancient underground water conservancy project, feel the unique heat of the Flaming Mountain’s red landform, stroll under the shade of the Grape Valley. The climate is mild in late May, suitable for an initial visit.
Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau:Explore the alleys of Kashgar’s old city, overlook Karakul Lake at the foot of Muztagh Ata, check out landmarks like Baisha Lake, Golden Grass Beach, and Stone City. The plateau landscape is rich in layers.
Duku Highway Section:The Duku Highway is expected to open from late May to early June 2026. The ‘Kunlun No.’ itinerary matches the opening window, arranging visits to key sections like the Tianshan Grand Canyon, the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, and the Nalati Sky Grassland.
