⚠ ️ Travel Tips
Xinjiang has a vast territory with temperature differences of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius between day and night. It is recommended to bring a light down jacket, windbreaker, long-sleeved clothing, as well as SPF50+ sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hat, lip balm, and moisturizing skincare products to cope with the dry and strong sunlight. Wear comfortable, non-slip hiking shoes suitable for walking in scenic areas.
Traveling to border areas like Taxian County requires a permit in advance. This can be obtained at the public security department in your place of residence or locally in Xinjiang. Clearly indicate the destination area when applying.
Areas like the Great Sea Road and Kumtag Desert have many undeveloped zones. It is strictly forbidden to leave the group to enter undeveloped areas for hiking, exploration, camping, or other activities to avoid risks.
The Duku Highway is open daily from 8:00 to 21:00 and closed at night. This itinerary uses vehicles that meet the requirements. In case of severe weather, traffic controls, or other situations, the itinerary will be adjusted accordingly.
When visiting places like Id Kah Mosque, dress appropriately, avoid shorts or short skirts, respect local customs, and ask for permission before photographing others.
Local time in Xinjiang is about 2 hours behind that of inland China. The itinerary is adapted to local time, with meal and sightseeing times adjusted accordingly, so there’s no need to wait too early.
Opening hours and entry policies for scenic spots may change temporarily. Contact customer service before departure for the latest information and prepare in advance.
