Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, it’s advisable to bring light jackets and long-sleeved clothing for cooler mornings and evenings, along with sunscreen, lip balm, and moisturizers for the dry climate. Xinjiang has a time difference of about 2 hours from inland China, so daily routines can be adjusted to avoid traveling on an empty stomach. Some scenic areas are at higher altitudes; travelers with underlying health conditions can prepare common medications in advance and confirm their physical fitness for the itinerary before departure.
