🚗 Xinjiang Regular Operating Vehicle Yili Customized Car Rental｜Multiple Classic Routes Available for Direct Booking (Summer 2026 Edition)Kalajun Grassland:Combined ticket for East and West Kalajun is valid, with the Kuokesu Grand Canyon cable car operating normally. The ‘human body’ grassland landform is clearly visible, ideal for photography in the soft morning light.
Qiongkushitai:The original village landscape is well-preserved, with gravel roads leading into the village. Some sections are narrow with sharp turns, so it is recommended to use a 7-seat or larger business van or SUV with higher ground clearance.
Xia Ancient Trail:The hiking route is currently open to the General’s Bridge area. Glacier viewpoints are heavily affected by weather, so check the day’s announcements before departure.
Huocheng Lavender Garden:In full bloom from mid to late June, currently at the best viewing period. It can be visited on the return trip from Sayram Lake.
All scenic spots require valid ID for real-name entry, and some may require on-site health information registration (subject to the day’s policy). Due to the wide distribution of attractions and limited public transport coverage, customized car rental is an ideal way to efficiently connect various destinations.
