What should I pay attention to when riding a bike in Xinjiang?

"Wearing fur coats in the morning, wearing gauze in the afternoon and eating watermelons around the stove" is a typical portrayal of Xinjiang's climate. Xinjiang belongs to continental arid climate, with large temperature difference between day and night, and significant climate differences in different seasons and at different altitudes. In case of bad weather and the temperature changes from warm to cold, please pay attention to changing clothes in time and do a good job of precooling and heatstroke prevention. The temperature difference between morning and evening can reach about 10 to 15 degrees. Generally speaking, you still need a coat or sweater to travel in summer.

2. Some areas in Xinjiang have high altitude and strong ultraviolet radiation. For example, the highest temperature in Turpan in summer can reach more than 40 degrees. So please carry sunscreen with you, and at the same time, you should be equipped with drugs or particles that clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

The climate in Xinjiang is dry and windy. I suggest you pay more attention to drinking water and prepare lip balm around you.

4. Xinjiang has long lines and scattered scenic spots. So it is easy to get tired after sitting for a long time. Please be prepared for hardship and pay attention to rest. When traveling in Xinjiang, some scenic spots require you to get off, walk, climb mountains or ride horses. I suggest you prepare a pair of comfortable and easy-to-walk shoes before you leave.

5. Pay attention to the time difference: Xinjiang is in the East Eighth District and Beijing is in the East Sixth District. There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and mainland cities such as Beijing, and tourism activities are generally arranged from 9: 00 to 20: 00.

6. Xinjiang is known as the "hometown of melons and fruits". Eating fruit in Xinjiang is a great pleasure, but be careful not to drink hot tea after eating fruit to avoid diarrhea.

7. Xinjiang is a region where ethnic minorities live in compact communities, and each ethnic minority has its own unique religious beliefs. Visitors are advised to respect the customs and habits of ethnic minorities, have more contact with ethnic minorities, and don't ask questions or talk about their religious beliefs in public, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Except for Mongolians, all ethnic groups in Xinjiang basically do not eat pork. When you arrive in Xinjiang, do as the Romans do and give up the habit of eating pork for a while, so it will be more convenient to go anywhere.

8. Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang is a long-distance tour with charming scenery, but most areas are backward and the accommodation and catering conditions are poor. Some accommodations can't provide standard rooms and showers, and the meals are relatively simple, mostly ethnic fast food.

9. Xinjiang is rich in natural products, and the native products and handicrafts of ethnic minorities are also a must. However, please note that local civil aviation and railways have an embargo on Uighur craft knives.

10. The scenic spots in Xinjiang are far away, long by car and boring. It's best to prepare some snacks and plenty of water.
