Problems needing attention in Xinjiang tourism

Dressed

Xinjiang has a vast territory, rich terrain and great temperature difference. If you want to visit all parts of Xinjiang, even in summer, you should prepare a warm down jacket (thin liner is enough), because when Hami is 40 degrees, Bayinbuluke grassland may only be 0 degrees. We also need to prepare a jacket. Imagine, we all think that the climate in Xinjiang is very dry, right? Bear went to Xinjiang at the end of August, when it was in the flood season. It rains almost every day and there are small mountain torrents on the way. Sun protection, dust prevention and warmth are also necessary lessons. Scarves, hats, masks and sunglasses are all good helpers!

have a meal

All babies who love to play love to eat. So, is the food in Xinjiang imported by bears? Bear only reminds everyone: pay attention to respecting the national customs and religious beliefs of the local people. Don't bring your own food. Order non-halal food in a halal restaurant. There are many non-Muslim restaurants in Xinjiang, so don't worry about eating beef and mutton. Buying things in Xinjiang is the price of kilograms, which is very domineering! Not expensive ~ not expensive! Delicious ~ delicious!

stay

There are many accommodations to choose from, just choose according to your own needs on the website. There are many accommodation options in the off-season and the price is very cost-effective. As for booking websites (hornet's nest, Ctrip, Meituan, etc. ), you can compare the price yourself, or you can directly ask the front desk with the website price. Sometimes there may be more benefits and benefits! There is a 2-hour time difference between Xinjiang and Beijing, so the check-out time of many hotels is 14:00 Beijing time. The specific time depends. To enter the hotel (lobby), you need to show your ID card, pass the security instrument and pass the security gate.

please oneself

Tickets for scenic spots in Xinjiang are not expensive, and the shuttle bus fare for scenic spots is relatively high. Xiao Xiong bought a "Kakan Travel Card" jointly signed by PetroChina for 268 yuan when he refueled at China Petroleum. This card contains tickets for many famous scenic spots in Xinjiang, such as Nalati Grassland, Cocoto Sea, Sailimu Lake and Tianshan Tianchi Lake. (excluding bus fare), valid for one year, still very cost-effective. You need to enter ID information to open a card. When you enter the scenic spot, you can exchange your ID card for tickets at the "Ka Cartoon" channel of the ticket office. Many large-scale scenic spots have cartoon tourist cards at the ticket offices.

Three popular tourist routes in Xinjiang

Tianshan Tianchi scenic spot

Tianchi, known as Yaochi in ancient times, is a half-moon lake on the north side of Bogda Peak in Tianshan Mountain, which is a famous tourist attraction in Xinjiang. The lake is as clear as jade, reflecting Bogda Peak, surrounded by mountains, and full of tall and straight spruces and pines, just like a fairyland. It is suggested to go later in the afternoon, because with the change of light, the lake is green at close range and blue at a distance. Every year, from mid-October to the end of March, the Tianshan Tianchi Ice and Snow Festival will be held. You can go to Tianshan Ski Resort near the scenic spot for skiing and other ice and snow projects.

Seilam L.

Limu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains, surrounded by vast grasslands, and the lake is clear and blue. It has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Xinjiang because of its beautiful scenery. The snow-capped mountains around Lake Limu are mainly located in the west. You can see a good view from the east of the lake, so you can see the beautiful scenery of the lake under the snow-capped mountains. The most interesting seasons are June and July every year. At this time, the grass near the lake is full of wild flowers, which should shine on the blue lake under the snow-capped mountains. Every year from the end of July to the beginning of August, local ethnic herdsmen will hold the Nadam Festival here, and the scenery wrapped in silver in winter is also beautiful.

Kanas lake scenic spot

Nasi Scenic Area is located in the deep forests of Altay region, about 800 kilometers away from the capital Urumqi, including Kanas Lake Scenic Area, Harmonious Village, Baihaba Village and other famous scenic spots. Kanas Lake is fascinating with its mysterious lake monsters, colorful lakes and dazzling natural scenery. Harmony and Baihaba are villages where Tuva people gather, with the elegance of a Swiss town, just like a fairyland on earth. It is one of the nine hiking routes in China and has become a paradise route in the eyes of domestic outdoor enthusiasts.
