Why do more people travel to Xinjiang?

Xinjiang’s natural scenery is second to none. The beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains, Tianchi Lake, grasslands, and lakes is regarded as a fairyland on earth - the virgin forest is green, and the winding Kanas Lake is dotted with stars. The blue fluorescence, the sky and clouds hanging low, overlap with the rolling mountains... Every tourist scene in Xinjiang attracts the attention of the world. It has always been a popular tourist destination, but the ongoing epidemic has banned public travel. With the current situation of stabilizing prevention and control, retaliatory travel has also appeared in Xinjiang.

News reports show that the actual number of ticket purchasers in Nalati, Kanas, Tianchi, Sailimu Lake, Cocotuo Sea and other scenic spots every day is more than 10,000. In terms of star hotel occupancy rates, since July, the hotel occupancy rates in popular tourist destinations Ili and Altay have reached over 90%, which shows how popular they are.

“Duku Highway has become a ‘blocked and crying’ highway” has become the headline of major news recently. As a must-see road for self-driving tours in Xinjiang, Duku Highway connects many well-known places such as Nalati. The scenic spot is known as "the most beautiful in the country". But this summer, many tourists were stuck on the Duku Highway. "The traffic jam is just like Guangzhou. It takes 8 hours to travel 100 kilometers, and the Duku Highway has become a 'blocked and crying highway'." Some tourists complained. Since July, the local traffic police department has issued reminders many times that the traffic volume on Duku Highway is large, and drivers are asked to drive with caution.

Some netizens later calculated that during the entire 10-hour journey, she spent about 5 hours in line. In the imagination of many people, such a crowded scene may appear in any Internet celebrity attraction during the May Day and National Day holidays in China, but it should not be in Xinjiang, which is known for its "vast land and sparsely populated area". However, the fact is that there are more tourists than sheep on the grasslands of Xinjiang. Even a high-end train ticket costing 50,000 yuan is now difficult to get.
