Duku Highway Section:Connecting Kuqa to Nalati, along the way you can see the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon and the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak. From June onwards, it enters an excellent travel period.
Ili and Sayram Lake:Liuxing Street is full of characteristic cultural architecture, Horgos Port reflects border trade vitality, and Sayram Lake is known as “the last tear of the Atlantic.” In May, the lake ice melts and wildflowers bloom.
Northern Xinjiang Kanas Area:Fully open from May onwards, the lake water gradually turns blue, forests and grass turn green, with fewer tourists, suitable for quiet sightseeing.
Urumqi Surroundings:Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain is beautiful in all seasons, and the Grand Bazaar gathers diverse goods, making it an ideal endpoint for the trip.
