What to prepare for traveling to Xinjiang

Items you need to prepare when traveling to Xinjiang include: suitcase or backpack, clothing and shoes, hygiene products, watches, flashlights and dry batteries.

1. Suitcase or backpack: According to the distance of going out, it can be divided into large suitcases for clothing, locked suitcases and light backpacks for travel. If you plan to be on the road for several months, prepare a backpack. It is best to have a professional bag with a carrying system. In addition to the backpack or suitcase that holds all your luggage, prepare a small bag to hold documents, mobile phones and other small items. Once you arrive at a place, you must put down your luggage first and go out for fun, so a small bag is necessary.

2. Clothing and shoes: It depends on the weather of the place you go and the time you will be staying. The clothes you bring in summer are relatively simple, just a few T-shirts and pants. You can prepare several sets of underwear and socks. In winter, you need to bring thick clothes. Jeans are great for traveling and are stain-resistant. A pair of shoes that are easier to walk on is very important. After many times of personal practice, shoes have a great impact on the happiness of the journey.

3. Hygiene products: towels, toiletries, toilet paper, facial tissues, wet wipes, skin care products, cosmetics, combs, lip balm, sunscreen, men's razors/female hygiene products, etc.

4. Watches: Although almost everyone now has a mobile phone and there is time on the mobile phone, the meaning of wearing a watch when traveling is not just for telling the time. When it is impossible to distinguish the north, south, east, and west, if there is sunlight and a watch with hands, you can roughly determine the north-south orientation.

5. Flashlight and dry batteries: For those who want to camp in the wild and those who like to walk at night, a flashlight is indispensable. In case of any emergency, a flashlight can also be used to great effect. It can send out an "SOS" distress signal and also allow rescuers to follow the light and shine it on themselves. Remember to prepare more batteries to avoid running out of batteries at critical moments.
