💡 Travel Tips
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, it is recommended to bring a light jacket for high-altitude areas and cooler mornings and evenings. UV rays are strong, so sunscreen, sun hats, and sun-protective clothing are necessary. Scenic areas are mostly mountainous or plateau regions, so lightweight, non-slip sports shoes are recommended for easy walking. Carry common medicines such as gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, and motion sickness medicine to cope with travel discomfort. During the trip, follow the management regulations of scenic areas, protect the ecological environment and cultural relics, and travel civilly.
