Xinjiang, a vast land gathering snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, and thousand-year-old ancient cities, has become the “poetry and distant places” in the hearts of countless travelers.

I. Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations: North and South Xinjiang Full Loop, See Diverse Scenery at Once
The North and South Xinjiang loop starts from Urumqi, connecting Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland in Northern Xinjiang, as well as Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, and Taklamakan Desert in Southern Xinjiang. After route optimization in 2026, more emphasis is placed on “slow travel” and “in-depth experience”:
Northern Xinjiang Section:A Symphony of Nature and Culture
Kanas Lake:Known as the “pure land on earth,” it will implement a time-slot reservation system in 2026, with opening hours from 8:00-20:00. Visitors can take shuttle buses to tour the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay), or climb to the Fish Viewing Pavilion to overlook the entire lake.
Hemu Village:An original Tuva ethnic village. In the early morning, climbing to the Haden Platform allows photography of wooden houses with cooking smoke in the morning mist. In 2026, a new stargazing point will be added for viewing the Milky Way at night.
Sayram Lake:The lakeside road is fully open, with access from the East Gate, South Gate, and North Gate. In summer, golden lotus flowers bloom by the lake; in winter, visitors can enjoy the spectacular blue ice.
Nalati Grassland:The aerial grassland area has a daily visitor limit and requires advance real-name reservation. Visitors can ride horses through flower seas or experience home visits with local ethnic families.
