✅ Travel Tips
1. Clothing Preparation: Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Even when traveling from May to September, you need to prepare clothes of different thicknesses. In addition to summer wear like short sleeves and long skirts, you should also prepare spring/autumn jackets and light windbreakers. In mountainous and grassland areas, nighttime temperatures are lower, so you need light down jackets or thick fleece clothing. Also, prepare comfortable hiking shoes, sun-protective clothing, sun hats, and sunglasses for outdoor activities.
2. Sun Protection and Moisturizing: Xinjiang has a dry climate and strong sunlight. You need to prepare high-SPF sunscreen, lip balm, hand cream, moisturizing spray, etc., and remember to hydrate regularly.
3. Personal Items: Valid identification is essential for travel, as it is needed for entering scenic areas and using transportation. Some mountainous areas have weak signals, so you can prepare some cash for emergencies. Also, bring a power bank, thermos, and common medicines (gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, band-aids, motion sickness medicine, mosquito repellent, etc.).
4. Sightseeing Tips: The opening hours of Xinjiang’s scenic spots are greatly affected by the season. Before traveling, you can check the announcements of the corresponding scenic spots for real-time opening information. The last shuttle bus within scenic areas usually departs earlier than the closing time, so plan your time wisely to avoid missing the return bus. Some scenic areas have restrictions on drones and other equipment. Travelers carrying such equipment can consult staff in advance about relevant requirements.
