✨ Travel Tips
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, it’s recommended to bring a light jacket. High-altitude areas like Tianshan Tianchi and Karakul Lake have lower temperatures, so an extra warm layer is advisable.
Xinjiang has strong UV rays, so bring sunscreen, a sun hat, and sunglasses. Areas like Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland can be windy, so windproof gear is recommended.
At Tianshan Tianchi, spring snow may not have fully melted, so wear slip-resistant shoes to avoid falls. If visiting in May with medical credentials or in September with teaching credentials, bring relevant documents to enjoy free admission to Tianshan Tianchi. Visitors on their birthday can also enjoy free admission with valid ID.
When visiting scenic spots, follow relevant management regulations, travel responsibly, and help maintain a good visiting environment.
