Things you don’t know about traveling to Xinjiang! Worth collecting!

If you have not been to Xinjiang, you will not know the vastness of the territory; if you have not been to Xinjiang, you will not know the beauty of Xinjiang. But you must have a must-have artifact when traveling to Xinjiang - a tourist map. I will help you collect and organize Xinjiang tourist maps...

1. Things to know before traveling

Xinjiang is located in Northwest my country accounts for one-sixth of the country's total land area and is the largest province in my country. It borders eight countries including Russia, Mongolia, India, and Kazakhstan. It has a very important strategic location and mainly has a temperate continental climate. To put it simply, Xinjiang can be summed up in two words: “big” and “Qian”.

① "Big": Friends who have traveled to Xinjiang will not deny one point of view, that is: traveling to Xinjiang is really tiring, because Xinjiang is so big! (How big is Xinjiang? I did a rough calculation, Beijing + Shanghai + Jiangsu + Zhejiang + Guangdong = Xinjiang area ÷ 4) Therefore, almost every day when traveling in Xinjiang, more than 1/3 of the time is spent in cars. Friends who want to travel to Xinjiang must be mentally prepared to sit in a car for a long time. It is worth mentioning that the scenery on both sides of the highway in Xinjiang is really good. Sometimes the most beautiful scenery is on the road.

② "Qian": Xinjiang is located in the middle of the Eurasian continent. This geographical location makes it difficult for water vapor from the ocean to reach. Urumqi is the city farthest from the ocean in the world. Therefore, the climate in Xinjiang is generally dry and the air humidity is low. Therefore, when traveling to Xinjiang, you must do a good job of hydrating. If you want to go to Hotan area and Taklimakan Desert area, you should also take measures to prevent wind and sand.

2. Travel Time

The best travel seasons in Xinjiang: June, July, August, September and October

< p> ① March-April: Windy, cold wave invasion, strong winds, sand and dust are prone to occur, and precipitation increases. It is a good choice to go to southern Xinjiang at this time. Peach and apricot flowers are in bloom, and the prairie has just recovered. Wild apricot flowers can be viewed in Turpan, Shanshan and other places.

② June: In the Yili area, you can enjoy the sea of ??flowers and the most beautiful lavender (most beautiful in mid-June), but the fruits are not yet ripe at this time.

③ July-August: You can still see the sea of ??flowers all over the mountains and the vast grasslands with rich water and grass. The mountainous area is a good summer resort. At this time, the grassland welcomes the Naadam and Pegasus Festivals. But the lavender harvest has been completed, and the fruits will begin to mature in mid-August.

④ September-October: It is the most beautiful harvest season in Xinjiang. The weather is comfortable, it is the real golden autumn season, and the fruits are fragrant. Kanas in autumn is recognized as the most beautiful autumn scenery in China. The Populus euphratica forest in southern Xinjiang is also dyed with golden autumn colors, and the melons and fruits are also in the harvest season. However, these two months are also the busiest tourist season in Xinjiang, and accordingly prices and scenic spot ticket prices have increased accordingly.

3. Consumption Level

Do you think prices in Xinjiang are very low? Actually you are only half right. In southern Xinjiang, prices are indeed very low. You can basically eat a full meal for only a dozen yuan, and fruits are extremely cheap. For example, watermelon in Kuqa costs 50 cents per kilogram, which is one kilogram! And it’s big and sweet.

But! Focus on it! Prices in Northern Xinjiang are not low at all, especially the level of tourism consumption is very high. I can definitely say that the level of tourism consumption in Northern Xinjiang is comparable to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou! ! What caught me off guard most in Xinjiang was the price of food and beverages. In northern Xinjiang, a full meal often costs at least 30-40 yuan (more expensive near scenic spots). Because the food in Xinjiang is relatively large, it is also expensive. A plate of noodles costs at least 20-25 yuan. It would be even scarier if it was in a scenic area. I saw such a small plate of tomato scrambled eggs selling for 48 yuan in Kanas Scenic Area! If you want to eat meat in the scenic spot during the peak season, it basically costs 55-65 yuan (except barbecue).

Tickets for scenic spots are not cheap, especially for famous scenic spots that cover a large area. Including inter-regional tickets, they basically cost more than 150 yuan, and some even cost more than 200 or 300 yuan.

So before coming to Xinjiang, make sure you have enough travel funds. Traveling in Xinjiang may cost you a lot. In this regard, group tours are the best choice. After all, the prices for attraction tickets, hotels, lunches, etc. that travel agencies can get are much cheaper than what you can get individually.

Sun protection and heatstroke prevention: Some areas in Xinjiang have high altitudes and strong ultraviolet radiation, so please bring sun protection items (such as high-quality sunscreen, sunglasses), preferably long sleeves and long pants.

You are also prone to speeding due to visual fatigue; the roads in places such as Tianshan Daban are very steep and in poor condition, so drive carefully; and most of Xinjiang is a pastoral area, and there are often cattle, sheep and other livestock on the roads. It is dangerous to hit the livestock by driving. Compensation and apology. Friends who are traveling by car, please pay attention to safety!

Although the conditions are simple, we must stay in folk houses with ethnic characteristics. From another perspective, it is also a different experience.

Some places that are rarely visited by tourists not only have no hotels or guest houses, but also no residents. , only if you have your own car and other means of transportation and bring your own tent.

8. Banks: There are many banks of various types in the capital of each state, such as Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, etc. However, there are very few banks in counties and townships, so you need to prepare a certain amount of cash.

The starting time in the morning is usually 10 or 11 o'clock, and the lunch break is longer, usually starting after 15:00. In addition, although the passenger terminals are based on Beijing time, local ethnic minority drivers are accustomed to speaking Xinjiang time, so they should pay special attention to confirm the time when chartering or taking a bus.
