The travel guide from Tianjin to Xinjiang mainly includes route planning, attraction recommendations, and practical tips.?
Route Planning:?
Self-driving Route: You can choose to depart from Tianjin and head west along the Jingjin Expressway, passing through Hebei Province, Shanxi Province, Shaanxi Province, and then transferring to Lianhuo Expressway, passing through Henan Province (this segment may not be passed in actual situations, as Lianhuo Expressway does not directly pass through Henan to Xinjiang), Gansu Province, and finally arriving in Xinjiang. This route is about 4,200 kilometers long in total. It is recommended to drive 500-600 kilometers per day and set aside enough time to rest and enjoy the scenery along the way.?
Flight Route: You can also choose to fly directly from Tianjin to Urumqi by plane, which is the fastest way.?
Attraction Recommendations:?
Urumqi: International Bazaar, where you can experience the folk customs of Xinjiang.?
Kanas: Kanas Lake, Fish Viewing Terrace, and Baihaba Village, offering a breathtaking view of lakes and mountains and rich folk customs.?
Hemu Village: A typical Tuwa village, simple and natural, picturesque.?
Ulungur Lake: One of the larger inland lakes in China, with clear lake water and vast grasslands surrounding it, it is a paradise for photography enthusiasts.?
Koktokay: Magnificent natural scenery suitable for adventurous tourists.?
Colorful Beach: If you haven’t visited attractions with similar landforms, the colorful landscape of Colorful Beach will be a good choice (but note that if you have already visited similar attractions such as Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, Colorful Beach may seem repetitive).?
Practical Tips:?
For self-driving tours, pay attention to road conditions and weather changes, and take sunscreen and warm clothing measures, as Xinjiang’s climate is dry and has large diurnal temperature variations.?
Plan your itinerary and book accommodations in advance to avoid not being able to find accommodations at the last minute.?
When traveling in Xinjiang, respect local customs and habits, and pay attention to ethnic unity.?
Try local cuisine such as baked stuffed buns and Hami melons, but pay attention to food safety and hygiene.?
