[Precautions for Traveling in Xinjiang]
1. ‘Wear a fur coat in the morning and a纱 dress in the afternoon, eat watermelon around the fireplace’ is a typical depiction of the climate in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has a continental arid climate with large diurnal temperature variations. There are significant climate differences in different seasons and at different altitudes. The temperature difference between morning and evening can reach about 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. If you encounter bad weather in the scenic area, the temperature may be even lower. Therefore, you need to be prepared for cold and heatstroke prevention. Generally speaking, for summer tourism, you need to prepare short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and thicker outerwear. If you are physically weak, you may need to prepare a thin cashmere sweater.
2. Xinjiang has long sunshine hours and high summer temperatures. Some areas have high altitudes and strong ultraviolet rays. Turpan, the hottest area in Xinjiang, can reach temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to bring sunscreen items such as sunscreen lotion, sun umbrellas, hats, etc. At the same time, you should also prepare heat-clearing and heatstroke-preventing medications or granules, such as chrysanthemum tea.
