Who knows! Xinjiang’s beauty really needs to be seen with your own eyes! Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and the starry sky are all packed into one! This 7-day itinerary is perfect for beginners! ✅ 📅Day-by-Day Overview Day 1: Meet in Urumqi and Start with Fireworks - Upon landing, head to the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar to take stunning photos of the colorful glazed roof. - Dinner is set in Consulate Alley. The baked buns burst with juice, and the pilaf is fragrant. - ✨Stay in a city hotel, preferably near the subway for easy departure the next day. Day 2: Urumqi → Sailimu Lake, Blue Wonderland - The drive takes about 5 hours, heading straight to Sailimu Lake (rated 4.7). Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the lake's waters are as clear as gemstones. - How to: Drive around the lake (reservation required). The cliff camera at Guozigou Bridge is a must-see. - Outfit: White slip dress with a straw bag. The reflections on the lake are beyond impressive. - ✨Stay at a lakeside B&B and take stunning backlit silhouette photos an hour before sunset. Day 3: Sayram Lake → Narat Grassland Pastoral - Depart for Narat in the morning, enjoying the scenery of the Ili River Valley along the way. - Visit the Narat Scenic Area (rated 4.5), and enjoy horseback riding on the aerial grasslands (approximately 120 yuan/trip). - In the evening, visit the Grassland Culture Museum to learn about Kazakh customs and culture. - ✨Stay at a Carrefour Resort Farm, with grasslands just outside your door and a truly romantic nighttime stargazing. Day 4: Narat → Kalajun Grassland - Full-day immersion in the Kalajun Scenic Area (rated 4.6), featuring river valleys, forests, and snow-capped mountains. - A lesser-known activity: Witness the "Human Grassland" light and shadows in the Koksu Grand Canyon. - Outfit: A light green floral dress with an embroidered shawl for a truly stylish look. - ✨Stay in a B&B near the scenic area and enjoy freshly brewed milk tea and naan bread. Day 5: Karajun → Tekes Bagua City Exploration - Depart Tekes in the morning and take a drone tour of Bagua City. - Visit Lijie Folk Village and buy hand-embroidered items. - Lunch at Ga Sanhu Restaurant, where you'll enjoy exquisite Xinjiang cuisine, praised by locals. - ✨Stay at a hotel in the heart of Bagua City. Visit the night market and enjoy grilled lamb skewers in the evening. Day 6: Tekes → Duku Highway → Kuitun - Self-drive the Duku Highway (rated 4.8), a day trip through the four seasons. - Stops along the way: Hashilegenda Pass to see the snow-capped mountains, Bayinbuluke to see the winding roads. - Outfit: A jacket and a bright orange scarf for warmth and photogenic looks. - ✨Stay in downtown Kuitun to relieve fatigue from the drive. Day 7: Kuitun → Urumqi, return trip - This morning, we visited the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Museum (rated 4.8) and learned a lot about the mummies. - Finally, we went to the Hualing Dried Fruit Market to buy local specialties. We could try raisins and almonds and bargain. - We returned with a great deal! 🍜Must-Try Food List - Hand-Pulled Pork: Ma Xiaozu's Hand-Pulled Pork is a Xinjiang dish. The meat is tender and not smelly. - Grilled Meat: Everyday Spring Lamb Grilled Meat is grilled over charcoal for a rich, charred flavor. - Main Dish: Big Plate Chicken with Belt Noodles. The hand-pulled noodles become even more fragrant with the toss. - Dessert: Homemade yogurt sprinkled with honey, a refreshing and refreshing treat. ⚠️Tips to Avoid 1. 99% of the tour guides recommended by Xiaohongshu are shills. Choose a reputable travel agency and sign a contract that can be checked by the Cultural and Tourism Bureau. 2. For group tours, choose a large seven-seater or 1+1 business car; they are more comfortable and compliant than SUVs. 3. The weather is unpredictable, so bring a jacket even in summer. A sunscreen face mask is essential. 4. Ask for prices before spending in scenic areas. For horseback riding and car rentals, confirm the detailed costs in advance. 💡Travel Tips - Best Time: June-August for the grasslands and flower fields, September-October for the autumn viewing of Kanas. - Transportation: Scenic spots in northern Xinjiang are scattered, so it's recommended to charter a car or go on a small tour. The average daily drive is 4-5 hours. - Budget: 4,000+ per person, including accommodation, entrance fees, and meals (your budget is up to you). Every frame of Xinjiang is like a computer desktop. A must-see in your lifetime! Share more niche ways to play in the comment section of Baozi who has been there 👇 #新疆旅行 #独库公路 #新疆伊璃
I want to try this restaurant just because of the list 😄 Overall, it's not bad~ If you are in Narat, don't miss this one! The boss strongly recommends beef tendon, which is said to be pressed for three hours before being grilled❗️ As for grilled meat, I didn't taste any difference from other restaurants [laughing and crying] The boss's baked naan is good, it's soft and crispy The kava is really good, honey flavored! The hand-pulled lamb is also delicious! There is no smell, it's very fragrant, it's freshly pressed, so the waiting time will be longer. [grin] I didn't expect that the first on the Yili hot list is right here in the Narat scenic area, it must be tried!
