Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Watch the sun hit Kanas Lake at Moon Bay, where the water bends turquoise between birch forest and Tuva Village wooden cabins.
- Ride the shuttle through Hemu Scenic Area to the viewing platform, climb for the valley spread below, yurts dotting the pasture like commas.
- S21 Desert Highway cuts 200 km through Gurbantunggut Desert, the road flat and empty, the dunes rolling gold on both sides.
- Urho Devil City wind-carved rock formations rise like castles, the shuttle ride winding between pillars that look sculpted, not natural.
- High-speed train back to Urumqi on Day 8, second-class seats, the group spread across a carriage watching Xinjiang blur past the windows.
