推荐理由：“不到新疆不知道中国之大，不到伊犁不知道新疆之美”到过或者没去过新疆的朋友可能都听过这句话，所以到新疆首站之旅不妨选择伊犁。
行程安排：该线路主要是游览北疆的伊犁，行程9天左右，基本上将伊犁的美景全部领略到。这样才能更好地感受伊犁的美。果子沟夏天如入万花谷果子沟是大自然赋予的天然宝库，各种野果不计其数，而且自春至秋野花烂漫，果香馥郁，郁郁葱葱的果树会将你身心淹没其中。
当年全真派真人邱处机应成吉思汗之邀进西域路经此地，曾赋诗：“金山东畔阴山西，千岩万壑横深溪。溪边乱石当道卧，古今不许通轮蹄。前年军兴二太子，修道架桥彻水溪。今年吾道欲西行，车马喧阗复经此。”又“银山铁壁千马重，争头竞角夸清雄。日出下观沧海近，月明上与天河通。”果子沟的险奇和秀美，可见一斑。清代林则徐流放新疆，进人沟中，感叹“如入万花谷中”，可见果子沟在夏花绚烂之时的艳丽。
