S21 Desert Highway Crossing
China’s first desert expressway, cutting straight into the hinterland of the Gurbantunggut Desert. Stop and take photos of the vast no-man’s-land.
Ahe Highway · Xinjiang’s Scenic Ceiling
A less-known grassland and forest corridor than Duku Highway, connecting Gobi, wetlands, and the primeval forests of the Altai Mountains in one day. No entrance fees, yet better than many scenic spots.
Hemu and Kanas Double Morning Mist
Hemu Village’s sunrise smoke + Shenxian Bay’s misty morning. Capture two different styles of “人间仙境” (heaven on earth) in one trip.
Sayram Lake “Two-Entry Loop”
No rushing! On the first day, cycle counter-clockwise around the lake to photograph swans and S-bends. On the second morning, re-shoot the sunrise at Dianjiangtai, leaving no regrets about the lighting.

Starting from the 0-kilometer mark in Nalati, cross the year-round snow-capped Hashilegen Daban, experiencing an extreme temperature difference from “short sleeves to down jackets” in 6 hours.
Kuerdening Light Hike
Avoid the crowded Kalajun. Hike through the World Natural Heritage spruce forest to Qimengde Observation Deck, facing the original grandeur of snow-capped mountains and grasslands.
Wucaitan (Five-Colored Beach) Limited Opening
A unique spectacle where Yardang landforms and the Irtysh River meet, open only in summer. Arrive 2 hours before sunset, and the rocks display a colorful array of red, yellow, purple, and green.
Kumtag Desert Off-road Surfing
The world’s only desert connected to a city. Ride a professional off-road vehicle to the top of the sand dunes, overlooking the junction of the Shanshan Oasis and the sea of sand.
Yining Blue Residences In-depth Tour
Ride a horse-drawn carriage through the blue alleys of Kazanchi + listen to Russian accordion music in Liuxing Street, moving beyond mere check-in style sightseeing.
Dushanzi Grand Canyon Cliff Sunset
Sit in a cafe on the edge of the canyon, watching the sunset glow dye the Tianshan mountain peaks and billion-year-old geological fissures, accompanied by a “cliff latte.”
