I want to travel to Xinjiang in August. It is said that Turpan was flooded in June. I want to know about the situation there. Is August suitable for traveling there?

Of course, the Grape Valley, which was closed for many days today, is open to the public again!

What you will experience in Turpan is a strong western customs. There are usually three options for traveling to Turpan:

First visit Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, take the train from Dunhuang Railway Station to Xinjiang, get off at Turpan (formerly Daheyan) Station, and change to a 50-kilometer bus line to visit Turpan.

The other is to enter Xinjiang from the air or the ground, stay in Urumqi, the capital, and visit Turpan through the Turpan-Urumqi-Dahuangshan high-grade highway. The traffic is convenient and smooth, and I can return on the same day, but I am a little nervous. It is best to arrange a comfortable tour for 2 ~ 3 days.

The third plan is to arrange Altay in northern Xinjiang first, then visit Ili, visit Kuqa and Korla after crossing the Duku Highway, or continue southward to Kashgar, and then visit Turpan on the way back to Urumqi.

These three choices depend on the length of time spent traveling in Xinjiang. If you directly participate in the group tour organized by the local travel agency in Turpan, the arrangement is as follows:
