Recommended 8-day tour itinerary for Northern Xinjiang
6-8🈷Northern Xinjiang nanny-level routes and attractions collection📝
📢Sisters who want to go to Xinjiang during the summer vacation, look here! May has ended, and June in Xinjiang has arrived. The magical and beautiful Duku Highway has also opened to traffic, with attractions that are only open from June to October every year! I, a native of Xinjiang, have stayed up late to organize 9 classic loop routes. Those who want to visit Duku can now choose a dedicated route!
.
❓How to choose
1️⃣The attractions in the Yili region are known as the domestic tourism enshrinement, such as Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Huocheng Lavender Manor, Guozigou Bridge, Tangbula Hundred Mile Gallery, etc. These landscapes are almost all concentrated in the Yili region of Xinjiang. There are also lesser-known secret realms, such as Qiongkushitai, Kurdai, and Kanas, which have high mountain lakes, spruce streams, and offer hiking and horse riding, presenting a unique charm.
2️⃣The natural scenery of Northern Xinjiang is very magnificent, with places like Kanas, Hemu, Tianshan Tianchi, Keketuohai, Colorful Beach, Wuerhe Devil City, and Dushanzi Grand Canyon, which also satisfy some people's expectations for unique landforms.
3️⃣Southern Xinjiang has a unique Western Region ethnic style and is inhabited by simple and enthusiastic people. There are mountains, lakes, canyons, and grottoes. For example, the ancient city of Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, and the Tashkurgan Desert.
4️⃣In the Eastern Xinjiang region, we are familiar with Turpan, Flaming Mountains, and Grape Valley, where you can experience unique tropical styles and food culture.

❓Time arrangement
📜If you have plenty of time, stay a few more days and take the big loop, such as the Yili region + Southern Xinjiang loop/Northern Xinjiang loop
📜If you are short on time, you can just take the Yili line. The scenery in Yili is good, and it is highly recommended to visit the Yili region.

🔍Travel tips
1. The routes on the map are direct and include classic attractions, suitable for friends who have never been to Xinjiang. The opening of the Duku Highway also adds to the anticipation.

3. This year, the Shata Ancient Road is being upgraded, and it will only open after June 10th. Sisters who want to go to the Shata Ancient Road recently should pay attention! Don't make a wasted trip.
I saw the place where Feichi came to punch in his life. I didn’t see the nine suns I was thinking about. It is said that only about October can I see it every year. Swan Lake is a pit. You don’t need to go down at this point. Just go to the terminal to watch the sunset.
It is worth going once. The attractions are very special and spectacular. There are a lot of people. The shuttle bus to enter the scenic spot takes an hour one way, but it is still worth seeing. Xinjiang is really a good place!
The scenic spot is super large and the traffic car takes an hour. The highlights are in the last nine curves and eighteen bends. The Swan Lake in front can be gone or not. The view is too shocking, and the landform is also very distinctive. It would be nice if you opened yourself in the off-season.
Buy the ticket and take the sightseeing bus, drive for more than an hour to the first attraction. There are no swans in the Swan Garden, all red-billed, and the birds in Yunnan flew to Xinjiang in the spring. I can still grab food so I can take something to lead them to eat. The scenery of the nine curves and eighteen bends is really beautiful, but there are too many people, and each observation deck is full. I took a photo and punched in, got some photos and went back. It was more than an hour's drive. It was too tired. Note that it is cold there, remember to bring your clothes.
Bayinbrook looks like an oil painting! The crystal clear Swan Lake, the extremely healing grassland spread like a green carpet, the leisure sheep, horses, cattle, seagulls, wild ducks, swans and other waterfowls or fly or railings to rest or play in the lake,,, Kaidu River, Bazhou's mother river, like a silver belt winding and flowing on the green grassland, Near the mountain, like a lightweight flying sky dance, sometimes a wedge like auspicious Chinese knot, beautiful to the word poor!
Because the north is too big, it is just right to take a trip every day. The driver, the pony, is a warm and cheerful and thoughtful young man. The people are very good. We always give us good suggestions for eating and shopping. We avoid some pits. The travel time arrangement is also leveraged. Due to the limited number of people in Hemu Scenic Area, we almost cannot enter the scenic spot. Under the continuous communication and coordination of the pony master, we finally entered the scenic spot smoothly. The Bayinbrook scenic spot was not coordinated by the travel agency, which led the pony master to drive for nearly 12 hours, but the pony master did not complain and still sent us smoothly to the scenic spot. And visited all the attractions. Of course, the travel agency is also very powerful, and finally solved all the problems we encountered on the road. In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, I prefer the bits and pieces along the way. Xinjiang is definitely the most worthwhile place for me. This trip is very satisfactory and did not disappoint. It is a recommended travel agency! The experience is great!
Be sure to bring more clothes or it will be too cold at night. The yak hot pot in the town is good. 1kg yak hot pot is less than 300 yuan. Of course, the favorite is black mutton skewers. You can use the iron sign without ordering red willow skewers.
