The best travel time in Xinjiang is from May to October. Specifically:?
From May to June: The temperature is moderate at this time, making it a good season to admire spring flowers and grasslands. Lavender in Yili and wildflowers at the foot of Mount Tianshan are in full bloom, presenting a pleasant scenery. In addition, the number of tourists in Xinjiang in spring is relatively small, allowing you to avoid the crowds during peak periods.?
From July to August: The temperature rises in various regions of Xinjiang, and fruits and melons ripen one after another, making it a good time to savor delicacies. At the same time, it is also the peak season for visiting scenic areas in northern Xinjiang such as Kanas and Hemu, where the scenery is breathtaking, but there are relatively more tourists.?
From September to October: Autumn in Xinjiang is like a palette overturned by nature, colorful and dazzling. The trees in Kanas turn golden, and the poplar forest also exhibits a charming golden color, making it a paradise for photographers.?
In addition, from March to May, you can go to southern Xinjiang to admire apricot blossoms, and from November to February of the next year, you can enjoy the snowy landscapes and glaciers of northern Xinjiang, and experience ice and snow activities. However, these two periods are relatively not the best travel times, as you may encounter unfavorable factors such as weather and transportation.?
In summary, Xinjiang has a long tourist season, but the best time is concentrated between May and October. Tourists can choose suitable months to visit according to their schedules and preferences.?
