The peak tourist seasons in Xinjiang are summer (June to August) and autumn (September to October).?
Xinjiang is vast in territory, and the best travel times vary in different regions. But generally speaking, from May to October is the prime time to visit Xinjiang. Among them, from June to August, the temperature rises in various parts of Xinjiang, and fruits and melons ripen one after another, making it a good season to taste delicacies and also the best period to visit most scenic spots. Visiting Kanas, Hemu, and other northern Xinjiang scenic spots during this time, the scenery is breathtaking, but there are also relatively more tourists. From September to October, autumn in Xinjiang is like a painter’s palette overturned by nature, colorful and splendid. The trees in Kanas turn golden, and the Populus euphratica forests also present a charming golden hue, making it a paradise for photographers.?
In addition, although Xinjiang also offers unique scenery and experiences during spring (March to May) and winter (November to February of the next year), such as flower viewing in spring and skiing in winter, the number of tourists in these two seasons is relatively less compared to summer and autumn.?
