When traveling in Xinjiang in March, the following locations are recommended:?
1. Turpan Basin: The Turpan Basin is the first place to bloom and welcome spring, known as the "First Spring of Xinjiang". It is an excellent location to appreciate apricot blossoms. The apricot blossoms here, along with those in the Yili River Valley and Pamir Plateau, collectively create the most "blissful" spring scenery in China.?
2. Sayram Lake: In March, Sayram Lake begins to thaw, and the wildflowers along the lakeside slowly bloom, creating a breathtaking scene. In the early part of the month, although the lake surface has not completely melted, the intertwined scenery of ice and flowers offers a unique charm.?
3. Nalati Grassland: From March to May is the best season to view flowers on the Nalati Grassland. After the initial snow melts, wild lilies bloom against the ice, creating a picturesque scenery that rivals Switzerland.?
4. Pamir Plateau: From mid-March to the end of the month is the best time to view apricot blossoms on the Pamir Plateau. Datong Township, Kukexiluke Township, Tartajik Ethnic Township, and other places are beautiful, with tens of thousands of acres of primitive wild apricot forests blooming, resembling a fairyland on earth.?
5. Kazanqi Folk Culture Area: If you want to experience the authentic flavor of the Uyghur people, Kazanqi Folk Culture Area is a good choice. It is a residential area for local residents where you can gain an in-depth understanding of Uyghur culture and lifestyle.?
In addition, based on the weather and personal interests, you can also choose to visit places like the Guozigou Bridge, Dushanzi Grand Canyon, and Kumtag Desert.?
