Here are some recommendations for the best places to visit in Xinjiang in March:?
Turpan Basin:?
Known as the ‘First Spring of Xinjiang’, it is one of the earliest places where apricot flowers bloom in Xinjiang. Together with the apricot flowers in the Ili Valley and Pamir Plateau, they constitute the most ‘blissful’ spring scenery in China.?
Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture:?
The apricot flowers here are equally beautiful. Besides flower appreciation, you can also visit attractions such as the Ili River, Liuxing Street, and Hanren Street to experience the local customs and food culture.?
Sayram Lake:?
Ice begins to melt in March, and wildflowers by the lake slowly bloom, creating a breathtaking scene. The lake water is azure blue and is known as the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic Ocean’, one of Xinjiang’s famous attractions.?
Nalati Grassland:?
From March to May is the best flower viewing season in Nalati Grassland. After the initial snow melts, wild lilies bloom against the ice, creating a picturesque scenery that rivals Switzerland.?
Pamir Plateau:?
Ten thousand acres of primitive wild apricot forests bloom in March, and the prosperity of flowers on earth is no more than this. It is an excellent destination for photography and flower appreciation.?
Kashi Old Town:?
Here you can feel the strong Uyghur ethnic flavor, as if traveling through time back to ancient times. It is a great place to experience the unique culture of Xinjiang.?
