🌄 Route Highlights:One journey, see all four seasons of Xinjiang’s scenery
This route spans the vibrant culture of southern Xinjiang and the cool nature of northern Xinjiang. From Turpan’s Flaming Mountains and Karez irrigation system, to the street life of Kashgar Old City; from the Muztagh Ata peak on the Pamir Plateau reflected in Karakul Lake, to the red rock walls of Tianshan Grand Canyon along the Duku Highway and the swan habitat of Bayanbulak Wetland; then to the summer flower seas of Nalati Grassland, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, and the wooden house clusters in Hemu Village shrouded in morning mist, as well as the emerald waters of Kanas Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay)… The itinerary covers mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, canyons, forest areas, and other diverse landforms.
According to the latest scenic area management information from spring 2027, all the above core attractions are in normal operation. Among them, the Duku Highway is expected to complete snow clearing and maintenance by the end of May and open to traffic along its full length. All tour departures are scheduled after June to ensure travelers can pass through the southern and middle sections. The Pamir Plateau area requires advance application for border passes; after registration, the travel agency will assist in providing the required materials checklist.
In addition, the climate in the areas along the train route is pleasant in summer. From June to August, wildflowers bloom in the Ili River Valley, the meadows around Sayram Lake are lush and green, and the average temperature in Kanas and Hemu is about 18-24°C, making it an ideal season for summer retreat and photography.
