Summer is an ideal time to travel to Xinjiang. In summer, especially from June to August, it is the best season for tourism in Xinjiang.?
Here are the specific reasons:?
Firstly, Xinjiang’s climate is moderate in summer, with rich and charming natural landscapes. For example, the Duku Highway is open from June to September, and this scenic route brings together various high-quality natural landscapes such as valleys, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, grasslands, lakes, and flower seas, making it an excellent choice for tourists.?
Furthermore, Kanas Lake presents a milky blue color in summer, and the morning mist at Moon Bay, Fairy Bay, and Wolong Bay is like a fairyland.?
Secondly, Xinjiang is abundant in fruits during summer, such as Hami melons and grapes, allowing tourists to savor the authentic flavors of local fruits. Additionally, Xinjiang’s nightlife is vibrant in summer, with various food festivals and ethnic celebrations taking place frequently, allowing tourists to deeply experience the local culture.?
Furthermore, for tourists who love grasslands, Nalati Grassland and Karajun Grassland are both at their most beautiful in summer. The spruce trees, streams, grasslands, and leisurely cattle, horses, and sheep grazing on Nalati Grassland form a beautiful picture scroll. Karajun Grassland, meanwhile, has been rated by National Geographic as the most three-dimensional grassland, with dozens of wildflowers blooming freely in June and July, creating a breathtaking scene.?
In general, Xinjiang in summer is a fascinating destination for tourism, whether it is for its natural landscapes or cultural customs.?
