The suitable months for traveling to Xinjiang are mainly concentrated from May to October, especially with September to October being the best. Here is a detailed analysis:?
May to June: Late spring and early summer, with moderate temperatures in Xinjiang and everything coming to life. At this time, the grasslands in the Yili region are lush and wildflowers are blooming in competition, such as lavender, and wildflowers at the foot of Mount Tianshan have also bloomed, making it a good time to admire spring flowers and grasslands. In addition, the number of tourists during this period is relatively small, allowing you to avoid the crowds during peak times.?
July to August: Summer in Xinjiang has higher temperatures, but it is also the season with the richest fruits of the year, such as Hami melons and grapes, allowing tourists to experience the ‘fragrant fruits’ of Xinjiang. Meanwhile, the nightlife in Xinjiang is vibrant during summer, with various food festivals and ethnic festivals frequently held, providing a good opportunity to deeply experience the local culture. However, this is also the peak tourist season, with more tourists, so accommodations and tickets need to be booked in advance.?
September to October: Autumn is the golden season for tourism in Xinjiang. At this time, the weather in Xinjiang is sunny and the temperature is pleasant, with fruits and vegetables still being sweet. More importantly, autumn in Xinjiang is colorful, with trees in Kanas turning golden, and Populus euphratica forests also presenting a charming golden hue, making it a paradise for photographers. Additionally, the number of tourists decreases relatively in autumn, providing a better travel experience.?
In general, Xinjiang has a long tourist season, with late spring to late autumn being good choices. However, considering factors such as scenery, climate, and the number of tourists, September to October may be the most ideal time to travel. Of course, the specific month to choose for traveling to Xinjiang needs to be considered comprehensively based on personal interests, time arrangements, and budget.?
