If you sit under the vines in the courtyard of Uygur hometown, enjoy the melodious dance of Uygur girls and taste the snacks with Uygur characteristics, you will know how happy this leisurely life is.

4. dressing index

The climate in Xinjiang is hot in summer, mainly cotton short sleeves. On the contrary, in some hot and dry areas, it is not suitable to wear too exposed clothes, which will hurt the skin. However, the temperature in Xinjiang scenic spots is low at night, so it is necessary to keep warm. It is recommended to bring long-sleeved clothes and sweaters.

5, ride matters

The highway distance in Xinjiang is long, and the bus only goes to the county seat, which is far from the scenic spot, so the vehicles are very inconvenient. Take Kanas as an example. After the coach arrives in Brzin, it is still160km away from Kanas Scenic Area, which is a Panshan section. It's inconvenient to get a ride here, and renting local cars is not guaranteed and the cost is high. Be sure to find a regular and reputable car rental company.
