This May Day, I am going to visit Urumqi, Xinjiang. I am an individual traveler. Can you give me some good advice? Thank you.

The temperature difference in most areas of Xinjiang is very large, so there has always been a saying of "wearing a fur coat in the morning, wearing sand in the afternoon, and eating watermelon around the stove". As a unique and complete tourist area that integrates history, culture, ethnic customs, and scenery beyond the Great Wall, it is increasingly favored by tourists from all over the world. However, you must pay attention to the following items when traveling to Xinjiang, so that you can return to Xinjiang to the fullest.

1. Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between morning and evening, reaching about 10 to 15 degrees. If you stay overnight, you must bring a coat. There is also a two-hour time difference. Pay attention to time.

2. The current situation in Urumqi is quite special. You must bring valid documents. If you want to go to Kanas Lake, Horgos, Khunjerab and other places, you must apply for a border pass from the Armed Police Border Defense Brigade.

3. Many areas in Xinjiang have high altitudes and strong ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, tourists should prepare effective sunscreen, as well as heat-clearing, thirst-quenching, and moisturizing medicines to avoid being unable to withstand the overly dry and hot climate for a while.

4. Xinjiang is the hometown of fruits. It is a great pleasure to eat fruits in Urumqi, but do not drink hot tea after eating the fruits to avoid diarrhea. Things are sold in Xinjiang by the kilogram, so don’t make a mistake and pay them twice as much.

5. When shopping, you should choose gems, ethnic products, handicrafts, medicinal materials, etc. that are unique to the region. Daily items are mainly produced in the mainland. Buying local ones is very cheap and you can save money on travel expenses. Never buy items that are too heavy to prevent overweight luggage.

6. Xinjiang is an area with many ethnic minorities and has a strong religious color. Ethnic groups that believe in Islam do not eat pork. This is their biggest taboo in life. Please do not offend. Remember.
