How to arrange a better route when driving from Taiyuan to Xinjiang?

This question mainly depends on how much time you have arranged. There are three conventional routes to and from Taiyuan in and out of Xinjiang: one is via the G7 Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway; the second is via the Hexi Corridor; the third is via Qinghai West Germany Lingha, Mangya. There are also three general directions in Xinjiang: the direction of Altay and Tacheng in northern Xinjiang; the direction of Ili; and the direction of Kashgar and Hotan in southern Xinjiang. The mileage of these lines is huge, and the time required is also huge. Without knowing the time, how to What about giving a suitable route?

Since the situation is unclear, then follow the instructions for entering from Hami and exiting from Ruoqiang. For the round trip, take the east and west lines of the Qinghai-Gansu Ring Road. In Xinjiang, take the North Xinjiang-Ili Line or the Grand Ring Line. to provide reference.

It has basically completed the Qinghai-Gansu Ring Road and Xinjiang’s northern Xinjiang Altay, Tacheng, Karamay, Bozhou, Ili and other places , it will take about 40 days.

In recent years, people who are accustomed to seeing green mountains, green waters, and famous pagodas have developed a keen interest in Xinjiang, which has the characteristic culture of the Western Regions. The mysterious and fascinating Xinjiang beauty attracts more and more people to travel, and Taiyuan citizens are no exception.

The best tourism season in Xinjiang is July and August. If you have enough time, self-driving tour is the best choice. The recommended general route for self-driving travel to Xinjiang is: Taiyuan - Shaanxi - Gansu - Xinjiang.

Specifically, Luliang - Suide - Jingbian - Dingbian - Zhongwei - Wuwei - Jiayuguan - Xinjiang. The trip covers more than 9,000 kilometers and costs about 20,000 yuan. The specific cost varies from person to person.

When going to Xinjiang, cars are very important. Always check before traveling, preferably in an off-road vehicle. Logistics are important due to the length of the journey. Due to the large temperature difference, it is necessary to prepare down coats and warm clothes. Xinjiang has a vast territory, so for women who love beauty, it is best to wear travel shoes. Xinjiang has strong ultraviolet radiation, so you should wear sunscreen. In addition, you must bring all kinds of travel medicines, as well as enough food and water.

The road conditions are complicated on the way, so it is best to travel with several vehicles and bring rescue equipment. Such as flashlights, ropes, jacks, knives, shovels, thermal kettles, etc. Another thing is to bring cash. Because not all hotels and stalls can accept card payments on the road.

Xinjiang is a good place. First of all, I appreciate you having this idea. I have been to and stayed in Xinjiang, so I know Xinjiang well and can answer this question.

1. Time node The most beautiful season in Xinjiang is August-September, when all the fruits, peaches and plums are ripe, the temperature is just right, neither cold nor hot. It is recommended to choose this season to go.

2. Since you are traveling, it would be a shame not to eat local specialties. Xinjiang food is very delicious. If you go this season, you can find Hami melons, Turpan grapes, Aksu apples, Korla pears, Hotan jujubes, watermelons, Laohan melons, figs and other fruits that are delicious and not expensive. There are countless delicacies such as rice pilaf, mixed noodles, large plate of chicken, barbecue, naan pit meat, naan, grilled buns, spicy lamb trotters, pepper chicken and so on.

3. The route is divided into three modes of travel:

Airplane: Fly from Taiyuan to Urumqi. You can also buy connecting tickets and fly from Urumqi to other cities in Qiangang. My personal suggestion is that if you choose to fly, fly once one way, and take the other trip by train or car. There's another flavor.

Train: You can take a train from Taiyuan directly to Urumqi, passing through Shanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang along the way. Along the Hexi Corridor. In Gansu and Xinjiang, you can see the vast Gobi Desert. It takes more than 30 hours, two days and one night. You can go from Taiyuan to Lanzhou and take the train to Urumqi.

Self-driving tour: It is recommended to go west to Xinjiang along the Hexi Corridor. Along the way, it passes through the entire Gansu region and Hami and Turpan in Xinjiang to reach Urumqi. The journey is long and it is not recommended to travel alone. It is best to form a convoy and go together.

4. Popular science: Xinjiang is divided into southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang includes: Korla, Aksu, Hotan and Kashgar. There are many ethnic groups, and you can experience authentic ethnic food and customs. Northern Xinjiang: Hami, Turpan (people in Xinjiang also call these two regions Eastern Xinjiang), Urumqi, Changji, Shihezi, Ili, Altay, Tacheng, Altay, and Karamay. The economy of northern Xinjiang is more developed than that of southern Xinjiang, with a larger proportion of Han people.

Since the distance between each city in Xinjiang is very long, make good travel arrangements. I hope your wishes will come true, you can make an appointment as scheduled, and see the beautiful Xinjiang

I think I am somewhat qualified to answer your questions. Starting from Taiyuan in September 2018, the single-person bicycle trip covered 12,000 kilometers and took 19 days. Let me introduce my route for your reference. Taiyuan ~ Hohhot (G7) ~ Ejina Banner ~ Hami ~ Urumqi ~ Fuyun County (Kokotuo Sea) ~ Kanas ~ Karamay ~ Sailimu Lake ~ Horgos ~ Zhaosu ~ Nalati ~ Bayinbuluk ( The second half of the Duku Highway) ~ Kuqa ~ (Desert Highway) ~ Minfeng can go west to Kashgar in Hotan from here, and go east to Qiemo ~ Ruoqiang can pass by Lop Nur and the Altyn Mountains to leave Xinjiang and cross the Qaidam Basin Finally, you can go to Xining, and you can turn down Qinghai Lake in the middle. From Xining, follow the navigation to Lanzhou, Dingbian, Yulin, and finally return to Taiyuan. In this way, you can see the scenery of southern and northern Xinjiang, and you can enjoy all the grasslands, forests, Gobi deserts and lakes.

If you want to go, just go, don’t hesitate, the scenery is on the way!

Just returned from a self-driving trip in Xinjiang. When I go there, I go to Zhongwei via Luliang. I stay in Zhongwei and can visit the "Shapotou" scenic spot in Zhongwei. The second stop is Zhangye, where you can visit Zhangye Danxia Landform Park. The third stop is to go to Jiayuguan to see the Great Wall. The fourth stop is to go to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes (ticket reservation required in advance). On the fifth day, you can go to Hami. There is nothing to do in Hami. It is the first stop in Xinjiang. After resting for a while, you will pass by Turpan and the Flame Mountain to Urumqi on the second day. The total distance is 590 kilometers. Just take a look at Grape Valley and Flame Mountain. Overnight in Urumqi. After arriving in Urumqi, you can plan your route according to your own time. If you have enough time, you can visit Ili, Kanas, Tianshan Tianchi, and Southern Xinjiang. On the return trip to Hami, take the Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway directly to Linhe (about 1,400 kilometers, you need to start early, there is basically no speed test on the road, you can drive 140km on average), and return to Taiyuan via Baotou, Ordos, and Yulin.

A family of three went there by bicycle in August 2016. They traveled 8,600 kilometers in 16 days from Taiyuan, passing through Wuwei, Guazhou, Turpan, Urumqi, Burqin, Kanas, Bole, Nalati, Kuitun, Urumqi, Hami, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhongwei, Taiyuan (the places listed above are accommodation places), it is recommended to go in summer, otherwise the Duku Highway will be closed. Xinjiang's highways are very well constructed and suitable for any car type, but the vehicle must be in good condition. In addition, Burqin to Kanas and Yining to Nalati are not expressways and the speed measurement in the section is very strict.

Drivers and co-pilots on the highway must fasten their seat belts and cannot loosen them when paying tolls, otherwise the traffic police will investigate strictly!

Go to Zhangjiakou and go directly to Jingxin Expressway!

I suggest taking the ring route and heading north to experience the G7 Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway. If you go to Ejina Banner Populus euphratica forest in early October, you can meet up with the Lianhuo Expressway at Luotuquan, then take the Qijiaojing Road towards Qitai, and pass Jimusar goes to Wucaicheng, Keketuohai, Irtysh Grand Canyon, and Mine No. 3, then goes back to Burqin, Wucaitan, Hemu, and Kanas, and then goes to Urho Devil City, Karamay, and Sailimu. Lake, Guozigou, Horgos, Yining, take the Yizhao Highway to Zhaosu, then Tekes, Kalajun Grassland, Nalati Grassland, Bayinbuluk, Swan Lake, and the southern section of Duku Highway Or the northern section, the southern section goes to Kuqa, the northern section goes to Dushanzi, then Urumqi, Turpan, Kumutage Desert in Shanshan County, Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, Zhangye Danxiadi Geopark, and then back to Taiyuan via Wuwei and Zhongwei Of course, Zhongwei can go to Shapotou, which is also a very famous attraction.
