Maximum travel freedom:7-seat commercial vehicles can reach the entrances of some core scenic areas directly. Some areas allow self-driving entry (subject to the scenic area’s policy on the day), skipping shuttle bus queues. Stop whenever you want, take photos freely, discover off-the-beaten-path photo spots — no rushed schedules, no check-in pressure.
Reliable drivers you can trust:Licensed 7-seat commercial vehicles throughout the trip, led by local drivers familiar with Ili’s road conditions and culture, ensuring safety the whole way.

From June to August, it’s lush and green. Climb the cliffside observation deck for panoramic views — morning mist and sunsets are especially photogenic.
