Where is the most suitable tourist destination in Xinjiang now?

First stop: Hami. Hami’s melons are better than just Hami melons, and Hami’s jujubes are very sweet. Then we walked around Hami, and there seemed to be no big attractions

Second stop: Turpan. The Grape Valley in Turpan is worth a visit. Around mid-August, if you are lucky, you can catch the Grape Festival. Here we are. If you are in Turpan, you must go to the Flame Mountain, it’s so hot! It is dry, hot and exposed to the sun. The episode of Journey to the West through the Flame Mountains was filmed there

The third stop: Urumqi, a "little red star" in the northwest. You can stay in Urumqi for a few more days to experience Xinjiang's customs, food culture, etc., which is more comprehensive. Visit the International Grand Bazaar, a place with very ethnic characteristics. The night market there is also good. It’s very cool in the summer evenings. Eat some barbecue and drink some kvass (a pure honey-brewed drink that looks like beer, but has no alcohol content). Beauty), comfortable ~

Fourth stop: Karamay Actually Karamay is not particularly interesting, but there is a devil city there, you can go and see it, it is like a small castle, all formed naturally (wind Blowing), it only takes half an hour to change your mind

Fourth stop: Altay The main purpose of going to Altay is to go to Kanas Lake, regardless of whether there are really water monsters there or not, and the scenery there It’s definitely something you can’t see anywhere else, and it’s completely comparable to Jiuzhaigou. Coming down from Kanas Lake, there is a colorful beach, which seems to be the Yadan landform. The stones inside are of many colors and the water is very beautiful. You can experience the different scenery.

Fifth stop: Ili. Return from the direction of Kanas and go west after passing Karamay. When you get to Ili, you will pass Sailim Lake, which is a puddle of water on the top of the mountain. The water is very deep and beautiful. But I don’t know where the water comes from. Every year it expands and changes its path. When you arrive in Ili, you must go to Horgos Port (the place where it meets Kazakhstan) and Nalati Prairie (four-star grassland)

The above are all places I have been to, and they are all comparative It is worth recommending that there is a route heading south from Yili, where you can feel the customs of southern Xinjiang. I have not walked through it, so I will not give any instructions.

The best time to travel to Xinjiang is July, August, and September. The weather, scenery, and fruits are all the best. Some foods are must-try: grapes, Korla fragrant pears, Aksu red Fuji, Jiashi melon, watermelon, apricots, Hami/Hotian big red dates, 143 group of flat peaches, pear melon (cantaloupe), pecans, dried apricots , badam, dried figs; then there are pulled strips (noodles), hand-caught mutton, pilaf, barbecue (roasted belly, roasted lamb loin, roasted lamb heart), spicy lamb hooves, roasted whole lamb, grilled fish, Grilled buns, green onion cakes, naan, naan, meat in naan, meatballs in rice dumplings, lentil noodles, tarts, spicy red skin, fried noodles with diced diced noodles, fried pork noodles, smoked horse intestines, Horse meat, large plate of chicken, pepper and sesame chicken, yogurt dumplings, yogurt, milk tea, rice soup, whistle noodles, casserole, cold noodles... Oh, there are so many, I am hungry after talking about them. You can go and eat whatever you want, it’s not expensive~~~~~ I would also like to recommend a more delicious one: rolled dough, which tastes absolutely different from Shaanxi’s. I haven’t heard of the bad one so far. Some girls can eat it in a day. Not eating, just making dough.

You can try Xinjiang wine. I recommend two or three kinds. White wine: Yili Wang Wine (not Yili Wang Wine), True Colors of a Hero, Xiaoerbulake Red Wine: Xiangdu Dry Red/Dry White , Xintian dry red/dry white, I don’t know how to taste wine, but it is said that both of them are better than Changyu’s beer: Wusu and Tianshan
