💡 Travel Tips
1. Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night, especially in mountainous, grassland, and lakeside areas where temperatures drop significantly when the wind picks up. It is recommended to bring short sleeves, long skirts, and other clothes suitable for daytime photos, along with light sweaters, lightweight windbreakers, and other warm clothing for cooler weather. Grassland areas are damp, so avoid sitting directly on the grass to prevent clothes from getting wet.
2. Xinjiang has high UV levels, even on cloudy days, and reflections from lakes and grasslands can increase the risk of sunburn. It is recommended to bring SPF50+ sunscreen, arm sleeves, face masks, hats, sunglasses, and other sun protection items for comprehensive protection.
3. All goods in Xinjiang are priced by default in kilograms. When buying fruits, dried fruits, meals, etc., confirm the pricing unit with the seller in advance to avoid misunderstandings.
4. Points in the itinerary such as Tashkurgan,白沙湖 (White Sand Lake), and Horgos require a pass to be obtained in advance. This can be done for free at your household registration location before departure or at local government service halls after arriving in Xinjiang. Avoid paid agency channels to prevent unnecessary expenses.
5. Xinjiang is vast, with long distances between scenic spots and long travel times on land segments. Travelers prone to motion sickness can prepare motion sickness medication in advance.
6. Xinjiang’s climate is relatively dry. It is recommended to bring lip balm, body lotion, a thermos, and other items to stay hydrated and alleviate discomfort from dryness.
7. Local meal portions are large. Order according to the number of diners to avoid waste.
