🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
The Altay region in northern Xinjiang is renowned for its natural ecological landscapes, featuring core attractions such as Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Baihaba, Colorful Beach, and Koktokay, included in the ‘Characteristic Eco-Tourism Routes’ released by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. Southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar, as an important node on the western end of the Silk Road, gathers historical and cultural landscapes like Kashgar Ancient City, High Platform Dwellings, and Id Kah Mosque, showcasing a life scene of diverse cultural integration.
Although the two places are far apart (about 2,500 kilometers in total), efficient connections can be achieved through customized car rental. The conventional route usually starts from Kashgar, takes the G3012 Turpan-Hotan Expressway to the G30 Lianhuo Expressway, then heads north along the G217 National Highway, passing through Korla, Dushanzi, Burqin, and other places, with optional stops at Luntai Poplar Forest (autumn), Ulungur Lake, and the Devil City. The entire route features diverse landscapes, including oases, Gobi deserts, snow-capped mountains, river valleys, and primeval forests, with different scenery in each season—spring apricot blossoms, summer grasslands, autumn layered forests, and winter snowfields—all worth viewing.
As of June 27, 2026, the above major scenic spots are all open normally. Each scenic spot implements a real-name reservation system for entry. It is recommended to make reservations in advance through platforms like ‘One Mobile Phone Travels Xinjiang’ before departure. High-altitude sections such as the Duku Highway (expected to be fully open by early June 2026) are still affected by weather conditions. Specific traffic conditions are subject to real-time announcements from local traffic authorities, and itinerary arrangements can be reasonably adjusted with mutual agreement.
