The best time to visit Xinjiang is generally from May to October each year. Specifically,?
May to June: Late spring and early summer have moderate temperatures and are a good time to admire spring flowers and grasslands. Lavender in Yili and wildflowers at the foot of Mount Tianshan are in full bloom, creating delightful scenery, and the number of tourists is relatively small.?
July to August: Although the temperature is higher in summer, the fruits are abundant, such as Hami melons and grapes, and the nightlife is vibrant with food festivals and ethnic festivals occurring frequently, allowing for an in-depth experience of local culture. At this time, the grasslands are lush and beautiful, making it a great place to escape the summer heat, and visitors can also see fields of flowers covering the mountains.?
September to October: Autumn is the golden season for tourism in Xinjiang. The weather is sunny, the temperature is pleasant, the fruits are still sweet, and the autumn colors are splendid, making it a paradise for photographers. In northern Xinjiang, places like Kanas and Hemu Village, with golden birch forests, emerald lakes, and distant snow-capped mountains, form a beautiful picture scroll. In addition, the number of tourists decreases relatively in autumn, providing a better travel experience.?
In general, the tourist season in Xinjiang mainly concentrates on spring, summer, and autumn, with each season having its unique scenery and experiences. Tourists can choose suitable months to visit based on their interests and time.?
