What kind of place is Xinjiang? What's the weather like in four seasons?

Xinjiang has a vast territory, accounting for about one sixth of the total area of China. This is a beautiful and rich land. Here, the ice peak and the fire island coexist, and the vast sea is adjacent to the oasis, with rough natural features and unique landscape. The famous natural scenery includes Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Bosten Lake, Sailimu Lake and Bayinbuluke Grassland. At the same time, the "Silk Road" in Xinjiang is world-famous. Along the way, hundreds of ancient city pools, ancient tombs, thousand Buddha caves, ancient wasteland sites and other cultural landscapes attract tourists. Among them, Jiaohe Old Town, Gaochang Old Town, Loulan Site, Qizil Thousand Buddha Cave and ChristianRandPhillips Tomb are famous at home and abroad. Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic settlement with strong ethnic customs. When traveling to Xinjiang, you must be familiar with local customs and taboos, and of course, don't forget to taste sweet fruits and delicious snacks. "Tianshan five In the snow, no flowers and cold"; "The north wind breaks the grass, and eight In the snow crosses the Tatar sky." Xinjiang is absolutely cold. "September is still sweating, and the wind blows sand"; "The volcano should be hotter in June, and pedestrians at Chiting intersection are absolutely deserted." Xinjiang is also hot enough. The climate in Xinjiang is very special and has a direct impact on travel. Xinjiang lives in the deep inland, and the surrounding mountains block the water vapor from the ocean, so it is a typical temperate continental arid climate. The main features are that it is hot in Leng Xia in winter and short in winter and spring. There are always several cold waves in Xinjiang in winter, and the average temperature in the coldest month of 65438+ 10 in Junggar basin is around-16℃. It snows in northern Xinjiang. The deepest snowfall in Altay forest region, Tacheng and Ili Valley in winter and spring can reach more than 1 m, and the high temperature of-40 to-50℃ also occurs from time to time. Even the temperature in Urumqi will drop to minus 15℃. The national highway has also become an icy road, and vehicles must use snow chains. On the day when dripping water turned into ice, there were no flowers, green grass, fresh fruit and bright dresses. At this time, many places are impossible except going to southern Xinjiang or playing with ice and snow in the northern scenery or exploring with horse-drawn sleigh. The best travel time in Xinjiang is July, August and September, that is, late summer and early autumn. At this time, the weather began to get cold and the fruits matured. This is the best time to visit the ancient Silk Road and taste the western customs.
