The best route and itinerary of Xinjiang travel guide

Xinjiang, the largest province in China, is located in the northwest of China. This is an area rich in natural resources. Since ancient times, it has been a gathering place for countries in the western regions, and it has preserved all kinds of extremely precious cultural relics and customs. This is a good tourist destination. Here is a detailed strategy for you.

Brief introduction of Xinjiang

Xinjiang has a very large area, and different scenic spots are calculated by 100 km. Moreover, the scenic spots are scattered, and some of them are as long as 100 km, so that they have to take the shuttle bus, including spending one-third of their time on the bus every day when switching tourist destinations. In this regard, I advise some people who come to Xinjiang with a lazy holiday mentality that they are really tired and should be mentally prepared.

Best travel time: July to 10.

Lavender in Yili blooms in June and begins to harvest in July. Until August, there were flowers to see on some grasslands. After mid-August, melons and fruits began to mature one after another. September to 10 is the harvest season and the peak season for tourism. It is said that Kanas is called the most beautiful autumn scenery in China, and the Populus euphratica forest in southern Xinjiang has reached the best viewing time.

Travel mode

It is best to drive by car or charter a car together, because Xinjiang is very big, and the freedom of catching the shuttle bus every day will be greatly reduced, and the cost is not much different.

Line planning

Day 1: Urumqi-Kuitun

I took a detour to play the first half of the independent library, because I would enter the independent library directly from Nalati.

The next day: Kuitun-Sailimu Lake-Guozigou Bridge-Horgos

Day 3: Khorgos Port-Yining

I was not impressed when I left Kazakhstan, but there are many duty-free shops that shoppers can visit. After arriving in Yining, they can visit the folk village.

Day 4: Zhaosu-Tekes Bagua City

Day 5: Nalati Grassland-Bayinbuluke

Day 6: Dooku Highway-Kuqa

Days 7 and 8: Stay in Aksu (tired, rest). )

Day 9: Kashgar-Christian Philip's Tomb-Kashgar Ancient City

Day 10: Kashi-Tashkurgan County

This is my self-driving route, mainly the southwest route. Since we will take the 2 19 national highway to start our trip to Tibet after Kashgar, the recommendation for continuing to visit Xinjiang can be Kashgar-Hotan-Minfeng-Desert Highway-Korla-Urumqi.
