🌄 Detailed Route and Destinations:More Than Scenery, It’s About the Rhythm
The 2026 ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ Xinjiang route is not a short-distance trip but a classic long route spanning eastern, southern, and northern Xinjiang. The entire journey takes about 17-18 days, starting from the banks of the Huangpu River, entering Xinjiang via Gansu, and sequentially connecting Korla, Kashgar, Taxkorgan, Yining, Nalati, Bayanbulak, Hemu, Kanas, Urumqi, and other places.
The landscapes along the way are rich and diverse: from the vastness at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert to the blue of Bosten Lake and Sayram Lake; you can gaze at the snow-capped mountains of the Pamir Plateau from afar, stroll through the grasslands in the heart of the Tianshan Mountains, and visit the primitive villages by Kanas Lake, experiencing the unique blend of nature and culture.
Notably, the itinerary includes moderate cultural interaction activities, such as Kazakh home visits and traditional dairy product experiences, focusing on integrating into real-life scenes and avoiding excessive performance. All activities respect the daily habits of local ethnic groups, emphasizing understanding and exchange.
