If you plan to travel to Xinjiang in May, it is recommended to visit Karakun Grassland, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kanas, Qiaxi Grassland, and other places. Here are specific attractions recommendations and reasons:?
Karakun Grassland: From May to June, Karakun Grassland turns into a sea of flowers, with various wildflowers blooming in competition, such as tulips, wild peonies, and globe flowers, creating a breathtaking view. The grassland here is vast, and the forest has a strong sense of hierarchy, making it an ideal choice for hikers and adventure lovers.?
Sayram Lake: In May, the miracle of ice pushing can still be seen at Sayram Lake, with azure lake water, snowy mountains surrounding it, and green grasslands along the lakeside. Both self-driving and hiking around the lake are excellent experiences, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.?
Nalati Grassland: From April to June, the wildflowers in Nalati bloom in competition, transforming the aerial grassland into an aerial garden. With various natural landscapes such as grasslands, valleys, and forests, it is a paradise for nature lovers.?
Kanas: In May, the ice and snow in Kanas gradually melt, with azure lakes, rolling mountains, and lush forests. Here, there is both the vitality and vigor of spring and the tranquility and mystery of winter, making it an excellent destination for photographers.?
Qiaxi Grassland: In mid-to-late May, Qiaxi Grassland resembles the scenes in the movie ‘Heidi and Grandpa’, with grasslands, forests, and snowy mountains complementing each other in a beautiful view. It has not been overdeveloped and retains its pristine beauty.?
Moreover, attractions such as the Mysterious Grand Canyon of Tianshan, Kumtag Desert, Kazanqi Folk Village, and Flaming Mountain are also worth visiting.

It is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance and reasonably arrange your time.?
In general, Xinjiang in May is picturesque with relatively few tourists, making it the best time for a tourist experience. Whether enjoying the meadow and flower sea or exploring lakes and snowy mountains, one can be captivated and forget to leave.?
