From Chongqing to Xinjiang, I want to go to Sailimu Lake, Bayinbulak Grassland and Nalati Grassland. Is it better to go to Urumqi or Yining first?

If you charter a car, start from Urumqi

The scenic spots you mentioned are all in Yili. Urumqi is 670 kilometers away from Yining. It must be Yining. If you have any questions, I am very happy to help you.

If you charter a car to visit, then start from Urumqi, Urumqi-Salimu Lake-Yining-Nalati-Bayinbulak-Urumqi, play all the way down without turning back.

It must be the best to go to Yining first. <br/> It takes more than 530 kilometers from Urumqi to Yining to reach Sailimu Lake. There are no scenic spots on the way of more than 500 kilometers. I am tired after driving more than 500 kilometers to Sailimu Lake. So it’s better to go to Yining first. When the plane lands in the morning, you can go directly to Sailimu Lake, Guozigou, Horgos Port, Lavender Garden, Huiyuan Ancient City for a day and return to Yining to stay. <br/>If you want to return by plane from Urumqi, arrange the itinerary according to your schedule, and finally play Nalati Bayinbulak and take the Duku Highway or GD218 to return to Urumqi. <br/>Hope my answer will be accepted.
