Xinjiang is an ideal place for tourism and mushroom picking, especially Haxiong Valley and Nanshan near Urumqi, as well as Baihaba New Village deep in the Altai Mountains, which are all great spots for mushroom picking.
In Xinjiang, especially around Urumqi, such as Haxiong Valley, the abundance of mushrooms is overwhelming and makes it a paradise for mushroom pickers. The mushrooms here grow on moist and soft soil. About 5 kilometers into the scenic area, moist places are gathering spots for mushrooms.
. Furthermore, Nanshan in Urumqi is also a great place for summer retreats and adventures. Amidst the fresh air by the babbling streams, you can often unexpectedly discover the traces of wild mushrooms.
Besides the areas near Urumqi, deep in the Altai Mountains lies a hidden paradise—the dense forest hillside behind Baihaba New Village. This place has a pristine natural environment and few tourists, making it a heaven for mushrooms. The mushrooms here are diverse in species and shapes, growing freely in an undisturbed environment.
But please note that when picking mushrooms, you must be careful to distinguish wild mushrooms, as many wild mushrooms are poisonous and avoiding accidental ingestion to prevent danger. At the same time, to protect the environment, do not litter and jointly maintain this beautiful natural scenery.
In addition, Xinjiang has many other attractions and activities worth visiting, such as the 12-day Panoramic Northern Xinjiang Grand Circle Route, which allows you to see the best attractions of Northern Xinjiang at one time and feel the freedom, romance, and passion of Xinjiang.
