Xinjiang is vast, and the best travel times vary in different regions. But overall, May to October is the golden period to visit Xinjiang. From May to June, the temperature is moderate, making it a good time to appreciate spring flowers and grasslands. The lavender in Yili and wildflowers at the foot of Mount Tianshan are in full bloom. From July to August, temperatures rise across Xinjiang, and fruits ripen, making it the peak season to visit scenic spots in northern Xinjiang such as Kanas and Hemu, with breathtaking scenery.
