You won’t realize how vast China is until you visit Xinjiang. Xinjiang occupies one-sixth of the country’s land area, and tourist attractions are mainly concentrated in the northern Xinjiang Altay Mountains, the Ili River Valley in the middle Tianshan Mountains, as well as the Pamir Plateau and Taklamakan Desert loop in southern Xinjiang.
So, what is the best month to visit Xinjiang?
In March, Xinjiang is covered in a blanket of snow. The ice layer on Tianchi Lake has not yet melted, so playing ice skates, skiing, and riding snowmobiles on it is still very enjoyable. In April, spring has gradually become more pronounced in Xinjiang. The Ili Grasslands, which have been silent for a whole winter, are slowly reviving. However, to see lush grasslands, you will have to wait another month. Winter in Xinjiang is too long, and you can only go up there at the end of April or beginning of May.
Visiting Kashgar at this time is a good choice. Lake Karakul, located at the foot of the "Father of Glaciers", is still very suitable to visit during this season.
In May, Xinjiang truly enters spring. Tianchi Lake, Nanshan Pasture, Turpan, and Jiang布拉克 are all covered in lush green grass and breathtaking scenery. Especially the apricot blossoms in Ili are exceptionally beautiful, like a utopia. The benefit of visiting Xinjiang at this time is that prices are also relatively affordable.
In June, there is a lot to see in Xinjiang. The Ili Grasslands, Kanas, Bayanbulak… Everywhere you look, there is green and wildflowers, filling you with hope and imagination from the bottom of your heart.
In mid-June, Sayram Lake is even more stunningly beautiful: the azure lake water is set off by mountains covered in delicate yellow flowers, with distant snow-capped mountains seemingly within reach, creating a harmonious and beautiful natural scene.
In July, August, and September, Xinjiang enters its "traditional" tourist season. Everywhere, the fragrance of melons and fruits fills the air, with grapes, Hami melons, and all kinds of fruits available.
In October and November, there is one place in Xinjiang that people flock to, and that is Kanas! The fairy tale world of autumn visits this magical border area every year at this time.
If you have long been yearning for this place, and if you are a photography enthusiast, then seize the moment. If you’re not the type to enjoy crowds, you can also go to southern Xinjiang during this time. The Wensu Grand Canyon, Pamir Plateau, Taklamakan Desert, and Tarim Poplar Forest… They will all bring you another kind of visual impact and awe.
In January and February, Xinjiang’s ice and snow charm begins again. Do you like ice and snow? Do you like that pure white fairy tale world? Then come on over! Feel the excitement of various fancy snow play activities under the warm winter sun, and enjoy the beautiful and romantic fairy tale-like scenes. It’s really great!
No matter when you come to Xinjiang, we are here to warmly welcome you!
