A must-visit list for traveling in Xinjiang:
Balikun Grassland – Situated in a basin
Nearby attractions: Hui King’s Tomb, Gaisi Tomb, Mingsha Mountain, Baishi Mountain, etc.
Driving along National Highway 312 on the Silk Road into Xinjiang, the first place you will arrive at is the Hami region. That’s right, the place that produces Hami melons. Balikun Grassland is located in Hami. It is not as vast as the Inner Mongolia grassland, but instead sits in a basin surrounded by continuous mountain peaks. The tops of the mountains are covered with white glaciers, while the middle sections are green. What’s unique is that amidst the vast grassland, there suddenly appears a unique desert mountain, Mingsha Mountain, and a white stone mountain, Baishi Mountain.
Flame Mountain – You can cook an “omelette” on your car hood
Nearby Attractions: Karez Wells, Sutep Tower, Ayding 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 Hill”. It is composed of medium-red sand, conglomerate, and mudstone. Every summer, the intense sunlight shines on the red mountainside, 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 become a “fried egg”. There is also a 12-meter-tall thermometer standing there, resembling Sun Wukong’s Golden-Hooped Staff.
International Bazaar – You can buy all the local specialties of Xinjiang here
Nearby Attractions: Xinjiang Museum, Red Hill, May 1st Night Market, Baiyanggou, etc.
The word “Bazaar” originates from Uyghur, meaning “market”. The International Bazaar is located in Urumqi and gathers tourist products from all over Xinjiang. It includes raisins, snow lotus, Hetian jade, lavender, essential oils, tapestries, and Cordyceps sinensis, which are familiar to mainlanders. In addition to Xinjiang’s specialties, there are also crafts from Central Asia and Pakistan here, making it a “window to Xinjiang”, a “window to Central Asia”, and a “window to the world”. The Bazaar has a rich architectural style. In addition, as the “hometown of song and dance”, there is also a big stage for song and dance performances.
Tianchi Lake – A浓缩of the essence of Tianshan scenery
In Urumqi, if the weather is clear, you can see the majestic snow-capped Bogda Peak. Tianchi Lake is located in the mountainside of Bogda Peak, 110 kilometers away from Urumqi. Tianchi Lake is a high-altitude lake located at an altitude of 1980 meters. Because the lake water is as clear as jade, myths say that Tianchi Lake is the treasure mirror on the dressing table of the Queen Mother of the West. It integrates alpine lakes, spruce forests, and snow-capped mountains into one,浓缩了the essence of Tianshan Mountain scenery and is known as the “Pearl of Tianshan”.
Colorful City – Wild asses and gazelles by the roadside
Nearby Attractions: Karamay Hoofed Wildlife Reserve, Gurbantünggüt Desert, etc.
Colorful City is located in the Gurbantünggüt Desert, the second largest desert in China. Over billions of years, coal seams, sand layers, and ore beds have formed there. After being eroded by wind and rain, exposed to sun and lightning, it has formed a “Yadan landform” dominated by reddish-brown colors, mixed with yellow, white, black, green, and other colors. From afar or up close, it resembles a castle. Near Colorful City is the Karamay hoofed wildlife reserve, which has attracted much attention in recent years. On your self-driving journey, you can see wild animals such as wild asses, argali sheep, and goitered gazelles along the way.
Kanas Lake – Eastern Switzerland
Nearby Attractions: Ulungur Lake, Irtysh River, Alashan Hot Springs, Baihaba, etc.
Xinjiang boasts countless beautiful sceneries. If one has 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, the vegetation there resembles the European Alps, with different plant communities层次分明, exhibiting various colors. Kanas Lake is like a colorful gem, making it a heaven for photographers. When visiting Kanas, you can also see the ancient indigenous people, the Tuwa people.
Ghost City – A “Castle” Blown by the Wind
Surrounding attractions: Karamay No.1 Oilfield
Both in Mongolian and Kazakh, the place is unanimously called "Devil’s City". Devil’s City is not a castle but a rare wind-erosion landform in China, where various "buildings" are blown by the wind, some resembling the Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou; some resembling the Temple of Heaven in Beijing; some resembling the Pyramids of Egypt; some resembling Angkor Wat in Cambodia… The scariest time at Devil’s City is when the night falls and the wind blows strongly, with the sound of flying sand and stones creating a eerie atmosphere. However, during the daytime, there is a chance to pick up crystal-clear agate stones.
Sayram Lake – Can see the bottom at a depth of 10 meters
Surrounding attractions: Ghost Valley, Alataw Pass, etc.
Some people compare Xinjiang’s Sayram Lake to Tibet’s Namtso Lake because Sayram Lake is also a high-altitude lake and is Xinjiang’s highest and largest alpine cold-water lake. Sayram Lake is known as the "Pure Sea", and the bottom of the lake can be seen at a depth of 10 meters. The most beautiful time of Sayram Lake is during the transition from spring to summer, when alpine wildflowers bloom all over the mountainside near the lake. Every July, local Mongolians hold the traditional "Nadam" festival on the grassland by the lake.
Nalati Grassland – A grassland with fat cattle and sheep
Surrounding attractions: Ili River, Fruit Valley, Gongnais Grassland, Tangbula Grassland, etc.
There are many grasslands around the Ili River, and the famous one is the Nalati Grassland. At the same time, Nalati Grassland is also a well-developed grassland suitable for tourism, with thousands of tourists staying there every day. The grass on Nalati Grassland is over half a meter tall. Due to the abundant rainfall, 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 – Father of Glaciers
Surrounding attractions: Id Kah Mosque, Fragrant Concubine Tomb, Tashkurgan Stone City, etc.
Starting from Kashgar, a major city in southern Xinjiang, and driving towards Hongqilapu at the China-Pakistan border, the journey offers endless beautiful scenery of snowy mountains and grasslands. Before realizing it, one has already reached an altitude of over 3,000 meters. Looking next to it, a huge glacier-covered mountain is Mount Muztagh, known as the "Father of Glaciers", resembling a creamy cake. Mount Muztagh stands in stark contrast to K2, the world’s second-highest peak at 8,611 meters.
Desert Highway – Drive freely through the desert
Surrounding attractions: Tarim River, Populus euphratica Forest Nature Reserve
The desert highway runs vertically through the vast Taklamakan Desert in China. The Taklamakan Desert, with an area of over 330,000 square kilometers, has long been considered a "forbidden zone for life", and it is difficult for tourists to visit its hinterland. However, after the opening of the desert highway, self-driving tourists can travel across it. The desert highway is 446 kilometers long and is currently the longest highway built in a shifting desert in the world. It generally takes five to six hours to drive the entire length, so be sure to bring enough water before departing.
