Xinjiang has a vast territory with large temperature differences between day and night. Even for summer travel, it is advisable to bring windproof jackets. At the same time, the ultraviolet rays are strong, so prepare sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hats, and other items. Xinjiang dishes have large portions, so you can reduce the amount according to the number of people when ordering to avoid waste.
The travel experience in some attractions is greatly affected by the climate. For example, the通行情况 of the Duku Highway depends on the snowmelt progress of the year, and attractions may temporarily change their opening arrangements due to extreme weather or policy changes. Reasonable changes to the itinerary can be made by mutual agreement. Before traveling, you can pay more attention to relevant tips.
Carry valid identification documents with you when traveling. Visits to border areas may involve temporary registration. Please follow the guidance of staff. During the visit, comply with景区 regulations, do not enter undeveloped or closed areas without authorization, do not cross lines when taking photos, do not use fire illegally, and do not litter to jointly maintain the visiting environment.
If you encounter problems during the trip, you can promptly contact the tour guide or staff, or call the 12345 tourism complaint hotline to report the situation.
Currently, there are still available seats for multiple shifts of the Tianshanhao in 2026.
