Xinjiang is vast and beautiful, but our time is limited. So how can we reasonably arrange a travel plan?
Customized Private Xinjiang Travel – High-end Planning and Customization for Xinjiang Travel
Let travel return to its essence and become a pleasure. Customized Xinjiang travel focuses on experience and feeling, from several aspects:
First, dining: We often choose representative Xinjiang restaurants for customized Xinjiang travel, such as Miraj, Hairbag, Platinum Hotel, Mayflower, and Apple’s Father. We emphasize ingredient taste and decoration style, but more importantly, the ethnic cultural atmosphere.
Secondly, hotel accommodations: The hotels selected for customized Xinjiang travel are basically among the top-ranked and most reputable in the local area. The floors are also pre-arranged. We strive to provide meticulous service. We can also accommodate requests for smoking and non-smoking rooms.
Next is transportation: We select vehicles based on the number of guests. We only choose vehicles within 5 years old, and the empty seat rate must reach over 30% to ensure sufficient space and comfort. All drivers have held an A-class driver’s license for over 10 years, provide excellent service, and have undergone professional training from the Tourism Bureau and Xinjiang Comfort Travel International.
Fourth is the tour guide: For groups that require a tour guide, we generally provide a difference allowance that is 20% higher than the market guide service fee to ensure that no shopping or mandatory paid items are promoted during the trip. The appearance, age, gender, etc., of the tour guide are also determined based on the guests’ preferences.

A Must-visit Collection of Scenic Spots in Xinjiang:
Balikun Grassland – Situated in a basin
Surrounding attractions: Huiwang Tomb, Gaisi Tomb, Mingsha Mountain, Baishitou, etc.
Driving along National Highway 312 on the Silk Road into Xinjiang, the first place you will come to is the Hami region. That’s right, it’s the place where Hami melons are produced. Barkol Grassland is located in Hami. It is not as endless as the Inner Mongolia grassland but sits in a basin surrounded by continuous mountains. The tops of the mountains are covered with white glaciers, and the mountainsides are green. What’s unique is that among the connected grasslands, there is suddenly a unique desert mountain, Mingsha Mountain, and a white stone mountain, Baishitou.
Flaming Mountain – You can make ‘fried eggs’ on the car hood
Surrounding attractions: Karez Wells, Suping Tower, Aiding Lake, Grape Valley, Jiaohe Ancient City, Tuyugou, etc.
The ‘Eight Hundred Li Flaming Mountain’ mentioned in ‘Journey to the West’ is here. Locals call the Flaming Mountain ‘Red Mountain’. It is composed of medium-red sand, conglomerate, and mudstone. Every summer, the intense sunshine shines on the red mountains, creating rolling waves of heat. How hot is the Flaming Mountain? According to local sayings, if you break a raw egg and spread it on the car hood, it will turn into a ‘fried egg’. There is also a 12-meter-high thermometer standing there, resembling Sun Wukong’s Golden-hooped Staff.
International Bazaar – You can buy all the local specialties of Xinjiang here
Surrounding attractions: Xinjiang Museum, Red Mountain, May 1st Night Market, Baiyanggou, etc.
The word ‘Bazaar’ originates from Uyghur and means ‘market’. The International Bazaar is located in Urumqi and gathers tourism products from all over Xinjiang. These include raisins, snow lotuses, Hetian jade, lavender, essential oils, tapestries, Cordyceps sinensis, etc., which are familiar to mainlanders. In addition to Xinjiang’s specialties, there are also crafts from Central Asia and Pakistan. It is the ‘Window of Xinjiang’, ‘Window of Central Asia’, and ‘Window of the World’. The Bazaar has a rich architectural style. In addition, as the ‘Hometown of Song and Dance’, there is also a large stage for song and dance performances.
Tianchi – Concentrating the Essence of Tianshan Mountain Scenery
In Urumqi, if the weather is clear, you can see the majestic Bogda Peak. Tianchi Lake is located in the mountainside of Bogda Peak, 110 kilometers away from Urumqi City. Tianchi is a mountain lake located above 1980 meters above sea level. Because the lake water is as clear as jade, myths say that Tianchi is the magical mirror on the dressing table of the Queen Mother of the West. It integrates mountain lakes, spruce forests, and snow-capped mountains. It can be said to concentrate the essence of Tianshan Mountain scenery and is known as the ‘Bright Pearl of Tianshan’.
Kanas Lake – Eastern Switzerland
Surrounding attractions: Wulungu Lake, Irtysh River, Alashan Hot Springs, Baihaba, etc.
Xinjiang boasts countless beautiful scenery. If you have to choose where the most beautiful place is, many people would choose Kanas Lake. Kanas is known as the ‘Eastern Switzerland’ due to its special geographical location, which resembles the vegetation landscape of the European Alps. Different plant communities are well-layered and colorful. Kanas Lake resembles a colorful gemstone, making it a paradise for photographers. Visiting Kanas also allows you to see the ancient indigenous Tuwa people.
Ghost City – A "castle" blown by the wind
Nearby attractions: Karamay Oilfield No. 1
Both in Mongolian and Kazakh, the place is unanimously called "Ghost City". Ghost City is not a castle but a rare wind erosion landform in China, where various "buildings" have been blown by the wind. Some resemble the Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou; some resemble the Temple of Heaven in Beijing; some resemble the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt; some resemble Angkor Wat in Cambodia… The scariest time at Ghost City is when the night falls and the wind blows violently, with the sound of flying sand and stones creating a eerie atmosphere. However, during the daytime, you may still find beautiful, crystal-clear agate stones there.
Sayram Lake – Can see the lakebed up to 10 meters below the surface
Nearby attractions: Guai Shi Gou (Weird Rock Gorge), Alataw Pass, etc.
Some compare Xinjiang’s Sayram Lake to Tibet’s Namtso Lake because Sayram Lake is also an alpine lake, being Xinjiang’s highest and largest alpine cold-water lake. Known as the "Pure Sea", Sayram Lake allows you to see the lakebed up to 10 meters below the surface. The best time to see Sayram Lake is during late spring and early summer when the lakeshore is covered with alpine wildflowers. Every July, local Mongolians hold the traditional "Nadam" festival on the grassland by the lake.
Nalati Grassland – A grassland with fat cattle and sheep
Nearby attractions: Ili River, Guozi Gorge, Gongnais Grassland, Tangbula Grassland, etc.
There are many grasslands along the Ili River, among which Nalati Grassland is well-known. Nalati Grassland is also a developed grassland suitable for tourism, accommodating thousands of tourists every day. The grass on Nalati Grassland grows to over half a meter tall. Due to the abundance of rainfall in the area, the cattle and sheep there are fatter. Historically, Nalati Grassland was known as the "Deer Park" and is also called the "Aerial Grassland" due to its high altitude.
Mount Muztagh Ata – Father of Glaciers
Nearby attractions: Id Kah Mosque, Xiangfei Tomb, Tashkurgan Stone City, etc.
Starting from Kashgar, a major city in southern Xinjiang, and driving towards Hongqilapu on the China-Pakistan border, the journey offers endless views of snowy mountains and grasslands. Before realizing it, you have reached an altitude of over 3,000 meters. Beside you stands a huge glacier-capped mountain, Mount Muztagh Ata, known as the "Father of Glaciers", resembling a creamy cake. Mount Muztagh Ata stands in stark contrast to K2, the world’s second-highest peak at 8,611 meters above sea level.
Desert Highway – Drive freely through the desert
Nearby attractions: Tarim River, Populus euphratica Forest Nature Reserve
The desert highway runs lengthwise through China’s vast Taklamakan Desert, which covers an area of over 330,000 square kilometers and has long been considered a "forbidden zone for life", making it difficult for tourists to visit its hinterland. However, with the opening of the desert highway, self-driving tourists can now traverse it. The desert highway is 446 kilometers long and is currently the longest highway built in a mobile desert in the world. It generally takes five to six hours to drive, and it is essential to prepare sufficient water before setting out.
