Ili in June and July is known as the dazzling jewel of Xinjiang's summer

😜Summer is coming, who can say no to the charm of Ili in Xinjiang? 🌄Looking for a boundless vacation destination? Ili is definitely the perfect choice! 👉Generally speaking, by the end of May, Ili is already a vision of lush greenery, but at this time the Duku Highway is not yet open, and the travel routes are relatively long. If you have plenty of time, it is highly recommended to head to Ili after mid-June. Although there will be slightly more tourists at that time, we can lead you to explore those little-known and rarely visited places, to experience the unique scenery of Ili. Once August arrives, the beauty of the grasslands will gradually fade. Therefore, there is no doubt that June and July are the golden months to travel in Ili! 🚗Ili Grand Loop Route Reference (after the opening of Duku Highway) Day 1: Departure place - Urumqi, Xinjiang 😃 Day 2: Urumqi—S101 National Defense Highway—Dushanzi Grand Canyon—Jinghe 💪 Day 3: Jinghe—Sayram Lake—Lavender Fields—Kazanqi—Ili 🌸 Day 4: Ili—Xia'ta Tourist Area—Muzart Glacier—Zhaosu 🎈 Day 5: Zhaosu—Zhaosu Rapeseed Flowers—Kalajun Scenic Area—Kuokesu Grand Canyon—Human Body Grassland—Tekes Hexagonal Town ✨ Day 6: Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Xinyuan County/Gongliu/Nalati 🌳 Day 7: Xinyuan County/Gongliu/Nalati—Nalati Town—Bayanbulak Grassland—Bayanbulak Town 🐎 Day 8: Bayanbulak—Duku Highway—Qi'ermo—Urumqi (disband, tonight without accommodation) 🤗 ❤Tips: In July, the Chaxi Grasslands begin to wither, so it might be a good idea to change to the Kalajun Grasslands, where the wildflowers are in full bloom 💐, and the scenery is intoxicating. If the itinerary allows, you can split the first day's travel into two days, arriving in Kuitun on the first day to rest, and then heading to Sayram Lake for fun on the second day, staying overnight in Ili. This will make the trip more relaxed and comfortable, which is how we arranged it. 🎊We believe that during these two months of travel in Ili, you will definitely encounter the most enchanting Ili scenery!
