Based on the latest opening conditions of Xinjiang’s scenic spots in 2026, Kanas and Hemu have fully opened since May. During this period, tourist numbers are lower, the lake water is clear after the ice melts, and the grasslands are just sprouting green, offering a great travel experience. Sayram Lake enters its ice-melting phase in May, with wildflowers blooming along the shore, open for visits all day. Nalati Sky Grassland is fully accessible in May, with good lighting at the nomadic settlement photo spot, perfect for photography. The Duku Highway officially opens on May 31, 2026, and is suitable for travel from June to September, so the mid-year departures of this route can catch the best viewing period.

Xinjiang also has strong UV rays and a dry climate, so prepare sunscreen, sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, moisturizing skincare products, and lip balm.
3. Xinjiang is vast with long distances between scenic spots. Prepare a power bank, motion sickness medication, common gastrointestinal medicine, and cold medicine for use during the trip.
4. When visiting cultural attractions, dress appropriately and respect local customs.
5. The Duku Highway’s accessibility may change due to weather. Check road condition updates before traveling and consult the contact staff for the latest information.
