Precautions:?
In July, the passenger flow in Xinjiang is relatively large, but the roads are usually very smooth. Except for some scenic areas where waiting for shuttle buses can be slow due to crowds, traffic jams are basically unlikely to occur at other times.?
The temperature difference between morning and night in Xinjiang is large, so even in midsummer, you should pack a thick coat. During midday, pay attention to sun protection by wearing sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, and applying sufficient sunscreen.?
Signal in some road segments and scenic areas may not be very good, so it is recommended to prepare some cash just in case.?
If you plan to drive yourself, be sure to choose a four-wheel drive vehicle, as many areas in Xinjiang pose a significant challenge for two-wheel drive vehicles.?
After setting the itinerary, make sure to finalize your accommodation promptly, preferably choosing one that allows free cancellation before check-in on the same day.?
In addition, you can taste the special cuisine of Xinjiang, such as mutton kebabs and large plate chicken, to experience the local customs. During the trip, pay attention to safety, abide by local regulations and customs, and enjoy a pleasant trip to Xinjiang.?
