【🌸Spring In-Depth Tour of Apricot Blossom Valley • Custom Carpooling Guide | 2026 Updated Edition】
I. Key Highlights of the Route: Unlock the Secret Realm of Tianshan Apricot Blossoms
(1) Nalati Apricot Blossom Valley (formerly Turgen Apricot Blossom Valley)
As Xinjiang’s largest naturally growing apricot forest, this area spans 30,000 acres of pristine apricot groves. The apricot trees are distributed in a stepped pattern along the mountain ridges, creating a three-dimensional landscape where “flowers fall at the foot of the mountain while they still bloom at the peak.” Monitoring of the 2026 bloom period indicates that due to spring temperature fluctuations, the peak bloom will be concentrated between April 8th and 15th, with high-altitude areas sustaining blooms until around April 20th. It is recommended to arrive early in the morning, take the shuttle bus directly to the core viewing platform, and hike along the wooden walkway to Viewing Platform 2 for a panoramic view of the pink and white sea of blossoms intertwined with snow-capped mountains and grasslands.
(2) Huocheng Daxigou Fushou Mountain
Known as a “late-blooming secret realm,” the apricot blossoms here bloom 5-7 days later than those in Nalati. They bloom simultaneously with over 30 types of wild fruit blossoms, including wild plum and wild apple, creating a richly layered floral carpet. The rugged, rocky terrain of the scenic area contrasts beautifully with the apricot blossoms, offering unique perspectives for photography enthusiasts.
(3) Kuerdening Snow-Capped Mountain Apricot Grove in Gongliu
This apricot grove landscape, backed by the snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, is recommended for travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences. Here, apricot trees coexist with spruce trees, and snowmelt nourishes fertile meadows. It can be paired with a one-day tour of Nalati Grassland to experience a three-dimensional spring scene where “scenery contains flowers and flowers are part of the scenery.”
