Traveling to Xinjiang in February allows visitors to experience the snowy landscapes and skiing activities in Northern Xinjiang, while Southern Xinjiang begins to enter spring, offering natural scenery such as apricot blossoms to view.
In Northern Xinjiang, due to the lower temperatures, especially in the Altay region, temperatures may range from -5°C to -18°C.
