โ
Tianshan Tianchi (Heavenly Lake):A natural alpine lake located in the eastern Tianshan Mountains, surrounded by spruce forests and Bogda Peak. With cool summer temperatures, it is the first suitable tourist spot to acclimate to high-altitude environments after entering Xinjiang.
โ
Kanas Scenic Area:The area transitioned to summer operations starting May 1, 2026, and will operate until October 15. The scenic area implements a real-name reservation ticketing system with a maximum daily capacity of 55,000 visitors. Summer park hours are from 08:00 to 20:00, with village bus services operating until 24:00. There is a significant temperature difference between day and night in the scenic area, so travelers should prepare warm clothing, sun protection, and rain gear in advance. Camping is strictly prohibited throughout the area, and pets are not allowed. The itinerary includes a boat tour of Kanas Lake and a visit to Hemu Village, allowing for an in-depth experience of the primitive forest and lake landscapes of the Altay Mountains.
โ
Sayram Lake:A high-altitude cold-water lake located at the northernmost end of the Ili River Valley. The surrounding grasslands bloom with wildflowers of various colors from June to August each year. A lake tour allows for views of the lake and distant snow-capped mountains from different angles.
โ
Nalati Grassland:Since May 2026, the grassland has entered its peak blooming period, with yellow flowers such as buttercups, primroses, and dandelions covering the foothills of the snow-capped mountains, creating a picturesque scene with pine forests, blue skies, and white clouds. The temperatures during the grassland visiting period are pleasant, making for a comfortable walking experience.
โ
Southern Section of the Duku Highway:The highway officially opened to traffic on May 31, 2026. Running north-south through the Tianshan Mountains, the southern section from Kuqa to Nalati offers views of the red sandstone formations of the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon and the mountain grassland landscapes along the way.
