💡 Travel Tips
Xinjiang has significant temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, it is recommended to bring a lightweight windproof jacket and long pants. High-altitude areas like Tianshan Tianchi, Nalati Grassland, and Karakul Lake feel cooler, so an extra fleece layer is advisable.
Xinjiang has strong UV rays. Please bring sunglasses, a sun hat, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. Some scenic areas near lakes are windy, so a sun mask can provide extra protection.
Scenic spots like Kanas and Hemu do not require advance reservations. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or on-site. Before traveling, check the comfort level tips released by the scenic area to enjoy a better experience by avoiding peak times.
At Nalati Grassland, you can choose to take the shuttle bus route or drive in yourself based on your needs. Self-driving requires advance reservation via a mini-program, with daily traffic limits, so plan ahead.
Turpan has high summer temperatures. It is recommended to visit the Flaming Mountains in the early morning or evening to avoid the midday heat. The Grape Valley Scenic Area offers a variety of dining options, where you can try local specialties at clearly priced restaurants.
The itinerary includes folk experience activities. It is advisable to learn basic etiquette in advance and respect local customs.
