For a trip to Xinjiang in May, here are some recommended must-visit attractions:?
1. Sayram Lake: Known as the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic Ocean’, the lake and its surrounding mountains are breathtakingly beautiful. In May, the lake water is clear and the grassland by the lake is green, and sometimes you can even see the miracle of ice pushing. A self-driving tour around the lake is a good choice, especially entering from the East Gate and leaving from the South Gate, where you can enjoy the stunning scenery of the lake area?
2. Kalajun Grassland: The flowers bloom in spring and summer, making the scenery particularly enchanting. From mid-May to mid-June is the brightest flowering season of Kalajun. The buttercups bloom on the grassland, laying a golden yellow carpet on it?
3. Nalati Grassland: With various natural landscapes such as grasslands, valleys, and forests, it is a paradise for nature lovers. The Aerial Grassland of Nalati is a must-visit. The small yellow flowers in the Snow Lotus Valley set off the white snow-capped mountains, and the wild lilies breaking through the ice are all signs of spring?
4. Qiaxi Grassland: It is the first grassland to revive in the Yili region, gathering a unique and primitive secret land of snow-capped mountains, forests, valleys, and streams. In mid-to-late May, the Qiaxi Grassland is covered with lush green grass and blooming wildflowers, making it a breathtaking sight?
5. Kanas and Hemu: Although the snow begins to melt in early May in Kanas and Hemu, making them look slightly desolate, if you love pristine and peaceful environments, they are also good choices. Wait until June, and the scenery will be even more charming?
In addition, there is the Heavenly Lake in Tianshan Mountains?
Dushanzi?
Mazha Village?
Kumtag Desert?
Kashgar Old Town?
These scenic spots are also worth visiting. Xinjiang in May is picturesque with few tourists, making it the best time for a travel experience. Come and feel the beauty of this land!?
