When packing for a trip to Xinjiang, you should pack lightly, focus on practicality and seasonality, and adjust flexibly according to your itinerary.?
Clothing:?
A jacket with a detachable lining is the most practical and versatile choice, providing warmth and wind resistance. Especially if you are going to Xinjiang after September, it is recommended to bring a 3-in-1 jacket (with a down lining) or a down jacket.?
You don’t need to bring too many skirts, just two or three. Mainly bring short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts, pants (both thin and thick) to adapt to the changing weather in Xinjiang.?
Sunscreen clothing and hats are also essentials. It is best if the hat has strings to keep out the wind and cold, and also provide sun protection.?
For footwear, it is recommended to bring a pair of sports shoes, a pair of boots, and a pair of slippers or crocs, especially if you will be spending a long time in vehicles, as slippers will be more comfortable.?
Other small items:?
Choose a backpack with a large capacity to hold essentials such as documents, sunscreen, a raincoat, a selfie stick, and snacks.?
You can also bring sunglasses, U-shaped pillows, moisturizing skincare products, and multivitamins. Especially since there is a lot of meat in Xinjiang, bringing indigestion tablets is also a good choice.?
Special Note:?
If you have plans to stay at homestays within the Kanas and Hemu scenic areas, it is recommended to bring an extra large cloth bag, luggage bag, or small suitcase to store more items.?
In general, when packing for a trip to Xinjiang, you should try to avoid carrying too many unnecessary items to lighten your burden and improve your travel experience.?
