The end of August is an excellent time to explore the vast beauty of Xinjiang. Xinjiang in late summer and early autumn has unique natural scenery and rich cultural experiences. Here are some recommended attractions:?
Kanas Lake: Located in northern Xinjiang, it is known as the "Fairyland on Earth" and "Garden of Gods". In late August, the water of Kanas Lake appears particularly clear, and the surrounding mountains and forests gradually turn golden yellow, with autumn approaching. Tourists can take wooden boats to cruise the lake or overlook from the Fish-watching Platform by the lake to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature.?
Grape Valley: Located in Turpan City, it is one of the most famous grape-producing areas in Xinjiang. In late August, when grapes are ripe, tourists can stroll under grape trellises, pick sweet grapes with their own hands, and taste various grape products such as raisins and wine, feeling the rich fruit aroma.?
Tian Chi in Mount Tian: A high-altitude lake located in Mount Tian, about 110 kilometers east of Urumqi City. The lake water comes from the melting snow and ice of Mount Tian, and it is crystal clear. In late August, Tian Chi has a calm lake surface reflecting the blue sky and the surrounding snow-capped mountains, presenting a delightful scenery. Tourists can go hiking, horse riding here, or simply sit down to enjoy the tranquility of nature.?
In addition, Xinjiang also has many scenic spots worth visiting, such as Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kashgar Old Town. Visiting Xinjiang at the end of August, whether to admire natural landscapes or experience local culture, will leave unforgettable memories.?
