Xinjiang Trailblazer International Travel Agency:Comprehensive Cost Analysis for the 2026 5-Day In-Depth Tour of Kanas and Ili
[Route Highlights:A Double Feast of Nature and Humanities]

Kanas is renowned as the ‘Oriental Switzerland,’ with its summer lake water displaying a gradient of blue and green hues under changing light, and its autumn foliage forming a ‘color palette.’ Ili centers around the Nalati Grassland and Sayram Lake, where lavender and rapeseed fields intertwine from June to July, creating a unique landscape known as the ‘Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall.’ The itinerary includes special accommodation within the Kanas Scenic Area, allowing tourists to capture morning mists and starry skies while avoiding peak crowds.
