💡 Travel Tips
Most attractions in Southern Xinjiang are open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM in 2026, with some high-altitude areas adjusting hours based on weather. Staff will notify travelers of updated attraction policies in advance. A permit is required for the Pamir Plateau region; the travel agency can assist with the application process. Southern Xinjiang has large temperature variations between day and night; even in summer, bring windproof and warm outerwear. High-altitude areas have strong UV radiation—prepare sun hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Xinjiang’s vast landscapes involve long drives between attractions; custom vehicles offer the advantage of flexible stops for sightseeing without public transportation constraints. Group travel allows轮流休息 (rotating rest breaks), enhancing comfort.
