There is already a sense of desolation in this season. There is a tour guide on the shuttle bus, which is very professional. The tourist center of the scenic area has Xinjiang food coupons, as well as chain restaurants such as KFC and King Tea Princess, and the prices are quite reasonable.
It's very beautiful, especially the mountain (I don't remember the name) that you paid extra to go to. I don't know why there are a lot of bad reviews online, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I think it is still worth a visit.

There's a shuttle bus to the Tianshan Grand Canyon from the Urumqi High-Speed Railway International Bus Terminal next to Urumqi Station. It doesn't run every day, so luck is key. Ticket information can be found on the WeChat mini-program "Travel 365." The bus departs at 11:00 AM, arrives at the scenic spot at 12:30 PM, and returns from there at 6:00 PM.
The scenic shuttle bus only stops at Zhaobi Mountain and Swan Lake, two relatively small scenic spots, and you can explore them in about 20 minutes. Then, take the return bus the same way. The journey takes 40 minutes, but the bus is less frequent, with departures every 20 minutes or so. Plan your time accordingly.
Many scenic spots shown on the map are not accessible by the scenic shuttle bus, making it better suited to self-driving.
I booked a two-day ride with Master Tian, and as always, he picked me up at the hotel on time. Since we only visited two scenic spots in the Tianshan Grand Canyon, we returned to the city at 2:00 PM. The scenery was beautiful, and I saw swans, though it was a pity the grass was a little yellow. But all that was fine, Xinjiang is so beautiful, it gives me a reason to come back next time.

The Grape Valley Scenic Area, located northeast of Turpan City in Xinjiang, is a canyon on the west side of Huoyan Mountain. Named for its abundant grape production, it is a national 5A-level tourist attraction.
Scenic Spot Features
1. Rich Grape Culture
Grape Valley cultivates hundreds of grape varieties, including seedless white, mare's milk, and red grapes. Known as "the sweetest grapes in the world," Grape Valley is known for its freshly picked and eaten grapes.

The valley, shaded by trees and surrounded by streams, offers a cool climate, a stark contrast to the scorching temperatures of Huoyan Mountain, making it an ideal summer escape.

Grape Valley, as a scenic spot, is very large. I heard that it is 8 kilometers one way, with a total of 5 parking spots. It is necessary to take the scenic shuttle, not to mention that there is no entrance fee. There are many scenic shuttles and you basically don’t have to wait, which is very convenient.

Stepping into the heart of Jiangbulake feels like stepping into a time-forgotten dreamland. Its beauty is poetic and captivating. Clouds frolic in the sky like playful spirits, wheat fields compose a musical symphony, and mountains form the backbone of this land, creating a scene that feels like stepping into a magnificent landscape painting.
The landscape of Jiangbulak is like God knocking over the palette. There are golden wheat, green wheat, goose yellow rapeseed flowers. There are small purple flowers. Of course, due to the different colors of the plants, there are light green gray green. Tianshan strange slope, uphill does not need to slip up, downhill has to work hard to walk, haha, you say wonderful. The beautiful scenery makes people linger. The beautiful women wear beautiful skirts to leave shadows in the wheat waves and the sea of flowers. Paradise, helicopters overlooking the scenic spot is like seeing a colorful blanket. It's really lingering and unwilling to leave!

This scenic area is a bit small, and I finished it in less than an hour, but it was quite interesting to see the various structures of the Karez. Parking is very convenient, with a large parking lot at the entrance. It is also located in Turpan City, making it easy to drive.
The reservation was quite rushed, and later I found out that there are three scenic spots in Karez, Folk Custom Park, Jiaoheyi and Karez Paradise. The Folk Custom Park is closer to the city, and there is an old man's shop at the door that you can visit together. Jiaoheyi and the paradise are together, a little farther from the city, but it is said that Jiaoheyi can go down 60 meters underground for a better experience, but the Folk Custom Park is bigger.

The second self-driving tour in Xinjiang, which lasted nearly a month, started in June 2024. At the end of the trip, we came to Bosten Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Xinjiang. If Sayram Lake is fascinating with its snow-capped mountains, Bosten Lake is known for its vastness. The entire lake area is divided into several scenic spots that need to be visited separately. The Bailuzhou scenic spot was closed and could not be visited. I went to Lianhai World first, and then to Dahekou Scenic Area.
A place worth visiting in southern Xinjiang, it was called Bosten Nur in ancient times. You can swim and row a boat. You can enjoy the sunset and sunrise. The highway in the center of the lake is also a beautiful scenery. The surrounding scenic spots are generally developed. But it has a more primitive flavor. The reeds and water lilies in Bohu Lake are unique. The new highway around the lake is convenient for sightseeing.

Xinjiang Salt Lake: The Silver Code of the Earth This liquid vein lying in the folds of Tianshan Mountain, with hundreds of millions of tons of salt crystals as characters, writes a wild grass epic of geological movements on the Gobi Beach. When the SUV rippled through the brittle crack of the salt shell and startled the purple mist of the alkaline poncho, you would be sure that this was not a lake, but amber of space-time distilled by the scorching sun. The salt flowers of the frozen salty lake were like ice crystal corals, and every step was the illusion of crushing a snowfield; The salt cliff section on the east bank shows hundreds of millions of years of sedimentary rings, and the silver, red, and blue layers are like overturned mineral pigment plates. Deep into the heart of the lake, salt crystals grow crystal armor on the soles, sunset, salt lake incarnation melt gold mirror, Tianshan snow peak and fire cloud at the same time decorate into a double painting. The scientific site of floating magic has a salt content of the lake of the Dead Sea, which makes people easily float into large characters, and the weightlessness instantly seems to fall into an alien ocean. In the salt treatment hall, the negative ion mist transpiration under the salt crystal dome restarts the respiratory system to the factory setting. Try a black mud bath when mineral-rich silt wraps up the skin, ancient earth energy is exchanging through pores. The photographers are suffering from composition anxiety here: geometric cutting of salt column groups, rust aesthetics of salt-harvesting ships, order madness of salt fields, and subverting visual experience from every angle. Late at night, the salt lake is more magical, moonlight refracts cold auroras on the salt shell matrix, the galaxy falls into a brine pool, and the stars break into diamond powder in the ripples. As the world’s closest salt lake wonder, its value is not in the label “small tea card” but in curing urban diseases with the ultimate geologically violent aesthetic. When you sleep in the salt crystal hotel with the sound of brine waves, or witness the salt snow raised when the salt harvester harvests, you see the Zen of the wasteland - so-called barren, but a cognitive trap of material form.
The scenery of the salt lake is in line with the style of Xinjiang. The windmills in the distance are turning and the wind is blowing, which makes my heart soar... It's not very interesting, just empty your mind, shout loudly and no one will care who you are!

Our driver, Mr. Wang Peng, was very helpful and attentive. He recommended some of the local attractions we visited, and the scenery was quite nice. We all had a great time. We visited the Tianshan Grand Canyon, which boasts lakes, grasslands, forests, and canyons. While it's not as impressive as a single natural attraction, it was a good place to experience it. The driver was very patient, waiting for us to fully explore the area before dropping us off at Hotan Second Street on our way back to the city, so we could easily visit the night market. I highly recommend his service.
Nanshan may not be the most favored well-known scenic spot in Damei Xinjiang, but it is very good. He is the best summer destination and niche tourist punching place for Urumqi citizens. If you are a tourist who can play, it is no less than the grasslands of Yili and Altay. The key is that the price is very high here. From Urumqi to the south to the southwest, there are many places to play in Nanshan. There are 10 days of mountain ditches, whether it is to create a scenic spot or not to create a scenic spot, it will give you an intimate contact with nature and visual enjoyment, the deep mountain jungle is more natural, even a few hours of stay will give a relaxing and pleasant experience. Hiking, riding or driving, you can choose

Located in the center of Urumqi, Hongshan Park is a free attraction, and it is also a must-play attraction in Urumqi. After entering the park through security check, go straight all the way up, pass the Big Buddha Temple, and overlook the building (you need to pay ten yuan per person to climb the building) to reach the iconic building Hongshan Tower. Across the Red Mountain Tower, you can see the whole picture of the city center of Urumqi.
Urumqi Hongshan Park is located in the city center and is a national tourist attraction. The park is named for Hongshan, and the mountain is red. The park has Hongshan Tower, Big Buddha Temple, Yuanyulou and other attractions, as well as green spaces, lakes and other natural landscapes. It is a comprehensive natural mountain park integrating tourism, classical characteristics, humanistic connotation, and sports and fitness. It is a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot. It is also one of the new ten scenes of Urumqi City. It is a free park and personally feels worth a visit.
