Tourism characteristics of southern, northern and eastern Xinjiang

Someone asked: What are the scenic spots in southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang and eastern Xinjiang? Can you recommend some? This time, I have carefully summarized these problems, hoping to help everyone.

The first thing to say is that Xinjiang is really big! With an area of 6.5438+0.66 million square kilometers, it is the largest provincial administrative region in China. If you plan to go to Xinjiang, a week is definitely inevitable. Speaking of which, I remember someone sending me a message asking: How long will it take to visit all the northern and southern Xinjiang? Let me describe it to you. If you leave Urumqi, the provincial capital, and go to Kanas, the straight-line distance is about 880 kilometers, and the driving time is about 12 hours. If you want to play, I suggest you choose the route of southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang or eastern Xinjiang to play.

Next, introduce southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang and eastern Xinjiang. Tianshan Mountain is located in the middle of Xinjiang, which divides Xinjiang into two parts: Tarim Basin in the south and Junggar Basin in the north. It is customary to call the south of Tianshan Mountain South Xinjiang, the north of Tianshan Mountain North Xinjiang, and Hami and Turpan Basin East Xinjiang.

Northern Xinjiang includes Urumqi, Karamay, Altay, Tacheng, Changji, Shihezi, Beitun, Yili and Bortala.
