Traveling to Xinjiang in November is an excellent choice, with pleasant weather, enchanting scenery, and relatively low travel costs.
In November, Xinjiang’s weather is mainly characterized by cool to cold temperatures, with an average temperature ranging from -5°C to 23°C, varying by region, such as Urumqi with an average temperature between -10°C and 10°C.
Such weather conditions are very suitable for outdoor activities such as hiking and photography, while tourists can also enjoy Xinjiang’s unique autumn scenery and early winter snowy landscapes.
In terms of scenery, November in Xinjiang can be called a tourist paradise. Kanas was rated as the most beautiful autumn scenery by Chinese National Geography, with golden mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes intertwining to form a beautiful picture scroll.
In addition, the Populus euphratica forests in Southern Xinjiang also turn fully golden in November, entering their most beautiful viewing period.
For tourists who love snowy landscapes, the snowy scenery in Northern Xinjiang is equally breathtaking, with a rich variety of activities such as watching sunrises, visiting snow-covered log cabins, horse riding, and skiing.
In terms of travel costs, since November is the off-season in Xinjiang, prices at tourist attractions and hotels are relatively low, and tourists can enjoy more promotions and discounts.
At the same time, the tourist flow is relatively low, allowing tourists to visit attractions more freely without crowds and long queues.
However, it should be noted that the ultraviolet rays in Xinjiang are strong throughout the year, so tourists must take good sun protection measures during their trip.
Additionally, due to Xinjiang’s vast territory and the long distances between attractions, tourists are advised to plan their itinerary in advance and choose suitable transportation modes.
For tourists who wish to self-drive, due to the possibility of icy or snowy roads in winter, it is recommended to drive a four-wheel drive SUV and prepare anti-skid chains.
In general, November is a highly recommended tourist season in Xinjiang due to its pleasant weather, enchanting scenery, and low travel costs.
