Spring in Xinjiang is amazing!! Here's a 7-day Xinjiang self-driving tour itinerary for you to copy

We went to Yili and Sayram Lake in Xinjiang during the Labor Day holiday. Before going, we were worried that the grass might not be green yet, and that Yili might not be beautiful. But it turns out: 🚏It was the right decision to go to Yili during the Labor Day holiday. 🌿The grass is green and the flowers are in bloom. 📍There are fewer tourists, and the prices of food and accommodation have not increased. 👇This is our 7-day small loop itinerary for your reference. 1️⃣Guiyang➡️Urumqi Visit the Grand Bazaar and eat barbecue. 🏨Stay in Urumqi 2️⃣Urumqi to Yining (🚆high-speed train is very convenient) 🚗Rent a car and drive to Tekes 📍Yining Kazanqi: Blue houses, purple pagoda trees, white flocks of pigeons, super healing 🌟Sixth Star Street: Colorful ethnic buildings, specialty markets, local snacks 📍Tekes Bagua City 👍The city with a Bagua layout has no traffic lights and is an attraction in itself. 🗺️Lijie: Ethnic style street, handicraft market, wall paintings 🏨Stay in Bagua City [Tekes Qinglong Hotel] | ¥100+ | High cost performance 3️⃣Tekes to Qiongkushitai Drive all the way🚗and have fun all the way, 🗺️the scenery is super beautiful 🏨Stay in Qiongkushitai [Simei Camp] | Wooden house ¥400+ | The snow mountain outside the window is worth it! 4️⃣Qiongkushitai to Kuerdening 📍Qiongkushitai In May, it has already started to turn green🌿, with streams, grasslands, forests, and wooden houses, it is already beautiful enough. 🌞The weather is quite changeable, we encountered blue sky, white clouds, hail and heavy snow. 📍Kuerdening 🗺️💰30 🚗Self-driving tour of the scenic area, every place is so beautiful that you can't move your legs🌿The grass and trees are tender green, with yellow wildflowers everywhere, niche and absolutely beautiful! 👍It deserves to be a world natural heritage site, even 《Heidi》 would be ashamed. 🏨Stay at [Gongliu Sunshine Holiday Hotel] | ¥200+ | The conditions are average, but it is already a good hotel in the local area. 5️⃣Gongliu to Qiasi to Yining 📍Qiasi Forest Park💰30 🚗Take a self-driving tour throughout the whole journey. After taking the Qiata Loop Line and visiting the Qiasi + Talimu scenic area, we encountered heavy snow on the day we went, a whole fairy tale world of mountain forests and river valley grasslands, ⏮️regretted not bringing camping equipment 🏨Stay in Yining [Ruiyang Crown Hotel] | ¥300| Very satisfied (highly recommended! 6️⃣Yining to Sayram Lake to Guozigou 📍Sayram Lake💰143 🚗It is highly recommended to drive around the lake. In spring, Sayram Lake, snow mountains, blue ice, and swans are so beautiful and dreamy. After finishing, go straight to Guozigou, which is simply a scene from a rural movie. 🏨Stay in Yining and return the car🚗 7️⃣Yining to Urumqi 📍Play in Yining during the day, and take a ✈️plane to Urumqi at night. 🏨Stay in Urumqi 👗Spring skirts, 👔shirts, just right to wear on sunny days, bring a windbreaker and a thin down jacket🧥
