The latest detailed version of Xinjiang travel guide

Xinjiang is a very mysterious and vast place. It is also the province with the largest area in my country. It has been the land where many cultures of the Western Regions and the civilization of the Central Plains blended together since ancient times. It has unique geographical landforms and climate environment. Producing many sweet and delicious fruits, I will share detailed strategies with you below. 1. Preparation for traveling in Xinjiang

1. The geographical area of ??Xinjiang is really huge, equivalent to 4 times the sum of Beijing + Shanghai + Jiangsu + Zhejiang + Guangdong. Almost every day when traveling in Xinjiang More than 1/3 of the time is spent in cars, so friends who want to travel to Xinjiang must be mentally prepared to sit in a car for a long time. It is worth mentioning that the scenery on both sides of the roads in Xinjiang is really good, and sometimes the most beautiful scenery is right there On the way.

2. Xinjiang has abundant sunshine and is very dry and hot everywhere. Xinjiang is located in the middle of the Eurasian continent. This geographical location determines that it is difficult for water vapor from the ocean to reach. Urumqi is the farthest from the ocean in the world. Therefore, the climate in Xinjiang is generally dry and the air humidity is low. Therefore, when traveling to Xinjiang, you must do a good job of hydrating and moisturizing. Friends who want to go to Hotan and Taklimakan Desert areas must also take precautions. Measures for sandstorms.

Xinjiang Tourism Panorama 2. Travel Time

The best travel seasons in Xinjiang: June, July, August, September and October

①

March-April: Windy, cold wave invasion, strong winds, sand and dust are prone to occur, and precipitation increases. It is a good choice to go to southern Xinjiang at this time. Peach and apricot flowers are in bloom, and the prairie has just recovered. Wild apricot flowers can be viewed in Turpan, Shanshan and other places.

②June: In the Yili area, you can enjoy the sea of ??flowers and the most beautiful lavender (most beautiful in mid-June), but the fruits are not yet ripe at this time.

③

July-August: You can still see the sea of ??flowers all over the mountains and plains, and the vast grasslands with rich water and grass. The mountainous area is a good summer resort. At this time, the grassland welcomes the Naadam and Pegasus Festivals. But the lavender harvest has been completed, and the fruits will begin to mature in mid-August.

④

September-October: It is the most beautiful harvest season in Xinjiang. The weather is comfortable, it is the real golden autumn season, and the fruits are fragrant. Kanas in autumn is recognized as the most beautiful autumn scenery in China. The Populus euphratica forest in southern Xinjiang is also dyed with golden autumn colors, and the harvest season of melons and fruits has also arrived.

Xinjiang Tourism Map 3. Consumption Level

Do you think prices in Xinjiang are very low? In fact, you are only half right. In southern Xinjiang, prices are indeed very low. You can basically eat a full meal for more than ten yuan. Fruits are extremely cheap. For example, watermelon in Kuqa costs 50 cents per kilogram, which is one kilogram! And it is big and thick. sweet.

But! Focus! Prices in Northern Xinjiang are not low at all, especially the level of tourism consumption is very high. I can definitely say that the level of tourism consumption in Northern Xinjiang is comparable to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou! !What caught me off guard the most in Xinjiang was the price of food and beverages. In northern Xinjiang, a full meal often costs at least 30-40 yuan (more expensive near scenic spots). Because the food in Xinjiang is relatively large, it is also expensive. A plate of noodles costs at least 20-25 yuan. It would be even scarier if you are in a scenic spot. I saw such a small dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the Kanas Scenic Spot selling for 48 yuan!

If you want to eat meat in the scenic spot during the peak season, it will basically cost 55-65 yuan. Yuan starts (except barbecue).

Tickets for scenic spots are not cheap, especially for famous scenic spots that cover a large area. Including inter-regional tickets, they basically cost more than 150 yuan, and some even cost more than 200 or 300 yuan.

So before coming to Xinjiang, make sure you have enough travel funds. Traveling in Xinjiang may cost you a lot. In this regard, group tours are the best choice. After all, the prices for attraction tickets, hotels, lunches, etc. that travel agencies can get are much cheaper than what you can get individually.

In Xinjiang In big cities, it is basically no problem to communicate in Chinese, but in individual ethnic minority autonomous prefectures in northern Xinjiang, you may encounter language barriers. When meeting ethnic minorities, try to speak Chinese as slowly as possible. If the other party still doesn't understand, try to ask the children, because now Xinjiang basically has bilingual education, and many children can speak Chinese. 6. Travel precautions

1. Weather: As the saying goes, "Wear a cotton-padded jacket in the morning and a veil in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove." The weather in Xinjiang is changeable and can go through four seasons in one day, so please be sure to prepare sunscreen , cold-proof and rain-proof equipment;

2. Clothing: There is a large temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang. Even in July and August, the nights are relatively cold. Clothing should be mainly breathable and warm. Also, try to wear loose, cotton-made pants. If you want to ride a horse, be sure not to wear sandals barefoot, as the stirrups will wear out your feet before long.

3. Sun protection and heatstroke prevention: Some areas in Xinjiang have high altitudes and strong ultraviolet radiation, so please bring sun protection items (such as high-quality sunscreen, sunglasses), preferably long sleeves and long trousers, otherwise, a day You will definitely lose a layer of skin when you come down. In addition, the highest temperature in Turpan in summer can reach over 40 degrees, so you should be equipped with heat-clearing and heatstroke-preventing drugs or granules;

4. Transportation: Xinjiang’s straight roads are prone to visual fatigue and speeding; like Tianshan Daban, etc. The local roads are very steep and in poor condition, so drive carefully; and most of Xinjiang is a pastoral area. There are often cattle, sheep and other livestock on the roads. If you hit the livestock with your car, you have to pay compensation and apologize. Friends who are traveling by car, please pay attention to safety! In addition, the road time may be relatively long, so travelers who suffer from motion sickness need to be careful.

5. Rent a car: It is best to rent a car with more than one person who can drive, because Xinjiang has a vast territory and it is normal for each scenic area to be five or six hundred kilometers apart. Driving alone will be very tiring. At the same time, because there are relatively few vehicles on Xinjiang’s expressways, many people speed, so be sure to pay attention to safety.

6. Shopping: Everything sold in Xinjiang is measured in kilograms. If you ask how much a kilogram is, expect to be ripped off. Even if the other party says how much does it cost per kilogram, it also means how much does it cost per kilogram. Don’t make a mistake and pay them double the amount. In addition, try to be friendly in areas where ethnic minorities gather. If you are not sure what you want, don't bargain casually, otherwise it may cause dissatisfaction among local ethnic minority businessmen. Some ethnic groups have some taboos, which must be understood and respected;

7. Accommodation: Generally speaking, except for a few cities such as Urumqi and Karamay, which have modern hotels, the accommodation conditions in other places in Xinjiang are relatively good. It's shabby and expensive, many places don't have air conditioning, and some don't even have showers or separate toilets. We must have these basic understandings before going there. Staying in a residential house with ethnic characteristics, although the conditions are simple, is a different experience from another perspective. Of course, some scenic spots also have luxuriously decorated modern hotels.

Accommodation in sparsely populated remote areas is not very convenient. Some places that are rarely visited by tourists not only have no hotels or guest houses, but also no residents. They only have their own cars and other means of transportation and tents.

8. Banks: There are many banks of various types in the capital of each state, such as Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, etc. However, there are very few banks in counties and townships, so you need to prepare a certain amount of cash. You can pay with WeChat Pay or Alipay in most places, but it may not be possible in some remote places with poor signal, so please prepare enough cash and store it in several separate parts to reduce the risk of loss.

9. Time difference: There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland. The commuting hours of most service agencies and government departments are different from those in the Mainland. The starting time in the morning is usually 10 or 11 o'clock, and the lunch break is longer, usually starting after 15:00. In addition, although the passenger terminals are based on Beijing time, local ethnic minority drivers are accustomed to speaking Xinjiang time, so they should pay special attention to confirm the time when chartering or taking a bus.

10. Acclimatization: The water in Xinjiang is alkaline and relatively hard, so people who are not used to it will suffer from constipation after drinking it. People in the east are prone to diarrhea if they eat various mutton and dairy products from Xinjiang, and there are also disadvantages if they are too fresh.

11. Security inspection: The security inspection in Xinjiang is very strict (and you may have to go through security inspection again or multiple times during the trip). At the airport, you need to empty your pockets and take off your shoes, and then scan the soles of your feet. There is a second security check at the boarding channel; transportation hubs such as train stations and bus stations generally have to go through 3-4 security checks, so no matter Whether by plane, train, or bus, go at least an hour in advance.

12. Due to the dry climate in Xinjiang, we are reminded not to wear contact lenses. Especially in some areas, the accommodation conditions are not good, and washing and other things are not convenient. If you need to bring them, bring a few extra pairs.

13. Borders: There are many military restricted areas and national borders in Xinjiang where it is prohibited to visit or take photos. You must remember this clearly, otherwise you will cause unnecessary trouble; go to Baihaba, For places such as Horgos and Khunjerab, you must apply for a border pass at the armed police border brigade in Burqin County, Huocheng County and Taxkorgan County. You can also apply for it in advance at the police station where your household registration is located. Otherwise, you have to go to the local area to apply for it. You may have to queue for a long time.

14. Insurance: Accidents and illnesses may occur at any time during travel, especially when you go to special areas to carry out special activities, such as mountain climbing, desert crossing, ancient trail hiking, etc. Even if you are physically strong and have good skills, Be quick and it is best to have relevant insurance before traveling.

15. If you have the opportunity, it is recommended to ride a horse. 7. Xinjiang Food Recommendations
