The self-driving route from Beijing to Xinjiang recommends a 20-day trip.

If you enter Xinjiang from Beijing, 20 days is enough! And September is just autumn, which is very suitable for driving! There is also good news, that is, there will be a sharp reduction in tickets for scenic spots in Xinjiang in September. If you go now, it will be a good time to catch up. Bian Xiao, I gave you two plans. I hope you will like it.

At this time, it's a little early to go on the road and Xinjiang, and the grassland has begun to turn yellow, but autumn scenery has not yet appeared. It is suggested that the departure time should be arranged between September10-September 15, and you can go in and out directly from Hami, and take Duku Highway to northern Xinjiang.

The first reference route is as follows: Beijing-Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan-Yulin-Jingbian-Dingbian-Zhongwei-Wuwei-Zhangye-Jiayuguan-Hami-Shanshan-Turpan-Korla-Kuqa-Duku Highway-Dushanzi-Karamay. Baihua Forest in Habahe-Baihaba Village-Kanas-Harmony Village-Brzin-Wulungu Lake (by the way)-Cocotohai-Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain (you can not go)-Qitai (Jiangbulake can go when you have time)-Yiwu-Populus euphratica Forest in Naomao Lake.

If you want to go up there, the whole journey is about 9500 kilometers. If you don't go to Baisha Lake and Tianshan Tianchi, the total mileage will be about 450 kilometers less, depending on your own itinerary. Populus euphratica forest in Naomao Lake in Yiwu and Populus euphratica forest in Ejina Banner are two of the three remaining Populus euphratica forests in the world, which were magnificent at the end of September1early October. It is suggested to adjust the itinerary to have a look.

Reference route 2: 1. Beijing starts from G7 Jingxin Expressway and passes through Ejina Banner to Yiwu Fantasy Lake, and then the scenic spots along the way are: Barkun Grassland, Barkun Lake, Jiangbulake, Tianshan Tianchi and so on.

2. Drive to Cai Wu Bay in Tianchi, Tianshan Mountain, go to Keketuo Sea Scenic Area in Fuyun County along National Highway 2 16, go to Harmony, Kanas and Baihaba via Altay City, and go to Wuerhe Ghost Town in Karamay City along National Highway 2 17 via Rainbow Beach and Brzin. After visiting Karamay, according to your own time, choose one of the following two routes to travel:

1, Karamay City ~ Jinghe River (Ebinur Lake) ~ Yining City (Sailimu Lake, Holmes Port) ~ Zhaosu (Zhaosu Highway, Xiata Ancient Road) ~ Tex (Bagua City) ~ Gong Liu (Kuokesu Grand Canyon, Kalajun Human Grassland, Qiongkushitai Village) ~ Xinyuan (Nalati, Bayingole).

The best season for this route is from June to August. After August, the roads of Duku Highway and Zhaosu Highway were closed, and the grassland began to turn yellow. But if you take this route, 20 days is not enough, and it is estimated that it will take at least one month.

2. Karamay ~ Kuitun ~ Shihezi ~ Urumqi (International Grand Bazaar, Hongshan Park, Autonomous Region Museum, etc. ).

Tip: Kanas Scenic Area may be closed due to heavy snow after the National Day.

Urumqi ~ Dabancheng ~ Turpan (Flame Mountain, Grape Valley, Karez, Gaochang Old Town, Jiaohe Old Town, etc. ) ~ Shanshan (Tuyugou Thousand Buddha Cave, Kumutage Desert) ~ Hami (primitive Populus euphratica forest) ~ Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia (Populus euphratica, Juyanhai) ~ Beijing.

All along the road, there is no turning back after entering Xinjiang. On the way back from Xinjiang, Populus euphratica forest in Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia is also the best viewing season, and the travel time is basically about 20 days (excluding Yining Ring Road).
