If you’re traveling to Xinjiang at the end of May, here are some recommended attractions:?

2. Sayram Lake: Known as the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic’, at the end of May, you can still witness the spectacle of ice pushing. Snow-capped mountains surround the azure lake, and the grasslands by the lake are lush and green. It’s an excellent choice for a self-drive tour around the lake or a boat ride on it.?
3. Nalati Grassland: From April to June, the wildflowers on Nalati bloom in competition, transforming the aerial grassland into an aerial garden of breathtaking beauty. With grasslands, valleys, forests, and other natural landscapes, it is a paradise for nature lovers.?
4. Kanas: In May, the ice and snow in Kanas gradually melt, revealing azure lakes, undulating mountains, and lush forests. It has both the vitality and vigor of spring while retaining the tranquility and mystery of winter.?
5. Qiongkushitai: Flowers cover the entire mountainside here, as if you’ve stepped into the home of ‘Heidi and Grandpa’. The primitive wooden cabins are so enchanting that it’s a more pristine village than popular grasslands like Nalati.?
In addition, places like Tianshan Tianchi, Dushanzi, Mazha Village, Kumtag Desert, Kashgar Old Town, Qiaxi, Kuerdining, Pamir Plateau, and Guozigou Bridge are also great destinations for tourism in Xinjiang at the end of May.?
