The best months for traveling to Xinjiang are from May to October.?
Spring (May to June): The temperatures are moderate, and everything comes back to life, making it 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 a delightful scenery. In addition, the number of tourists in Xinjiang is relatively small in spring, allowing you to avoid the crowds during peak periods.?
Summer (July to August): Although the temperatures are higher, it is also the season with the most abundant fruits of the year, such as Hami melons and grapes. During this time, you can experience the ‘fragrant fruits’ of Xinjiang. In addition, Xinjiang’s nightlife is vibrant in summer, with various food festivals and ethnic festivals frequently held, allowing for an in-depth experience of the local culture.?
Autumn (September to October): Xinjiang enters the harvest season with sunny weather and pleasant temperatures. The fruits and vegetables are still sweet, and the autumn colors are splendid, making it a paradise for photographers. In Northern Xinjiang, places like Kanas and Hemu Village, with golden birch forests, emerald lakes, and distant snow-capped mountains, form a picturesque scenery.?
In general, Xinjiang has beautiful scenery throughout the four seasons, but the golden period for visiting Xinjiang is from May to October. Tourists can choose a suitable month to visit according to their own schedule and preferences.?
