There are many scenic spots suitable for spring tourism around Xinjiang. Here are some recommended places:?
Tuokexun Apricot Forest: In March, when the northern part of Xinjiang is still chilly, the apricot blossoms in Tuokexun County have already bloomed, with sunny and lively spring weather. The fragrance of the apricot blossoms here spreads far and wide, making it the ‘first stop’ of spring in Xinjiang and a great place for taking photos.?
Sayram Lake: In spring, the ice on Sayram Lake gradually melts, and the lake water presents a stunning gradient blue. In the distance are snow-capped mountains, and the grassland by the lakeside gradually reveals its green hues. Although spring here comes a little later, the beauty of the blend of coldness and gentleness is definitely worth seeing.?
. In addition, there is blue ice at Sayram Lake in early April, which is also incredibly beautiful, allowing you to enjoy the lake scenery and mountain views by the lakeside.?
Nalati Grassland: Nalati is one of the famous grasslands in Xinjiang. In spring, wild lilies, tulips, and other flowers bloom from the foot of the mountain to the top, transforming the entire grassland into a dreamlike paradise.?
Yining Apricot Blossoms: Every year from mid-to-late March to mid-to-late April, the apricot blossoms in Yining bloom like a sea, with their presence everywhere in oasis, along small rivers, in valleys, by snow-capped mountains, and at the edges of deserts, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.?
Kanas and Hemu Village: If you want to see the spectacle of spring and winter alternating, you must come to Kanas. In March, Kanas still has snow, but it has begun to melt, and the lakes are gradually turning back to a deep blue color. There are fewer tourists at this time, and you can stay in the small cabins of Hemu Village to feel the purest tranquility and beauty.?
In addition, there are places such as Tianshan Tianchi, Nanshan Pasture, Pangjier Monster Stone Forest, Daxigou, Qiongkushitai, Qiaxi, Kuerdining, and Kashgar Old Town, which are also great destinations for spring tourism in Xinjiang.?
