May to June: At this time, the grasslands in the Yili region are lush and wildflowers are blooming in competition. The ice and snow on Sayram Lake begin to melt, and the lake water and snow-capped mountains complement each other, making it an excellent time to appreciate natural scenery. In addition, you can also see apricot blossoms in Southern Xinjiang and lavender fields in Yili.?
July to August: Temperatures in various parts of Xinjiang rise, and fruits and melons ripen, making it a good time to taste local cuisine. At the same time, it is also the peak season to visit scenic spots in Northern Xinjiang such as Kanas and Hemu, where the scenery is breathtaking but there are relatively more tourists. In addition, you can also experience the grassland scenery and participate in various folk activities.?
September to October: Autumn in Xinjiang seems to have been overturned by nature’s palette, colorful. The trees in Kanas turn golden, and the Populus euphratica forests also present a charming golden color, making it a paradise for photographers. The weather in Xinjiang is sunny and the temperature is suitable at this time, providing a better travel experience.?
