The best time to visit Xinjiang is from May to October. Specifically:?
From May to June: Late spring to early summer, with moderate temperatures, is a good time to admire spring flowers and grasslands. Lavender in Yili and wildflowers at the foot of Mount Tianshan are in full bloom, creating pleasant scenery. In addition, the number of tourists in Xinjiang in spring is relatively small, allowing one to avoid the crowds during peak seasons.?
From July to August: Temperatures rise across Xinjiang, and fruits and melons ripen, making it a great time to savor local cuisine. At the same time, it is also the peak season for visiting scenic areas in northern Xinjiang such as Kanas and Hemu, with breathtaking scenery, but there are relatively more tourists.?
From September to October: Autumn in Xinjiang is like a painter’s palette overturned by nature, colorful and vibrant. The trees in Kanas turn golden, and the poplar forests also exhibit a charming golden hue, making it a paradise for photographers.?
In addition, from March to May, one can visit southern Xinjiang to admire apricot blossoms, such as the wild apricot blossoms blooming in Turpan, Shanshan, and other places. One can also enjoy the tender green scenery of grasslands just recovering from winter, but attention should be paid to windy weather and cold wave intrusions.?
. From November to February of the next year, Xinjiang transforms into a snow-covered winter wonderland suitable for skiing and experiencing ice and snow activities. However, temperatures are extremely cold, and many roads and mountains are closed, with attractions shut down.?
In summary, one can choose an appropriate time to visit Xinjiang based on personal preferences and weather conditions.?
