April in Xinjiang is very suitable for tourism.
In April, Xinjiang is gradually embracing spring with fewer crowds and beautiful scenery, offering excellent value for money and making it a paradise for travel. At this time, many regions in Xinjiang showcase stunning natural scenery. For example, within the Apricot Blossom Valley in Yili, pink apricot blossoms bloom like snow, contrasting with the distant snow-capped mountains and blue sky, creating a fairyland-like beauty.
The Datong Township in Kashgar Prefecture in southern Xinjiang is also known as the ‘First Township of Apricot Blossoms in China’. From late March to early April, walking along the Yerqiang River, you can see a 20-kilometer-long corridor of apricot blossoms.
Furthermore, the average temperature in Urumqi in April ranges from 10℃ to 20℃. It is warm during the day and cool at night, with relatively low precipitation and mainly sunny days, making it ideal for travel. Tourists can choose to visit attractions such as Tianshan Tianchi, the International Grand Bazaar, Hongshan Park, and Nanshan Pasture.
The Huoyan Mountain scenic area in Turpan is also suitable in March and April with mild temperatures, and there is also a wealth of historical and cultural heritage worth exploring.
In general, traveling to Xinjiang in April not only allows you to appreciate the stunning natural scenery but also enjoy a comfortable travel experience.
