The best travel season in Xinjiang: July, August, September, October
1. March-April: It is windy, with cold waves invading, and prone to gale-force winds and floating dust. The precipitation increases. At this time, visiting southern Xinjiang is a good choice, with peach and apricot blossoms blooming, as well as the newly revived grasslands. You can enjoy wild apricot blossoms in Turpan, Shanshan, and other places.
2. June: In the Yili region, you can enjoy the sea of flowers all over the mountains and the most beautiful lavender (peak beauty in mid-June), but fruits and vegetables are not yet ripe at this time.
3. July-August: You can still see the sea of flowers all over the mountains and the vast, lush grasslands, making the mountainous regions a great summer resort. At this time, the grasslands welcome the Nadamu Festival and the Tianma Festival. However, the lavender has already been harvested, and fruits and vegetables start to ripen from mid-August.
4. September to October: It is the most beautiful harvest season in Xinjiang with comfortable weather, truly a golden autumn season with fragrant fruits. Autumn Kanas is recognized as having the most beautiful autumn scenery in China, and the poplar forests in southern Xinjiang are also tinged with the colors of golden autumn. Fruits are also in their harvest season. However, these two months are also the peak tourist season in Xinjiang, with corresponding increases in prices and scenic area ticket prices.
5. Winter: Temperatures can drop to minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Many places are closed due to snow, and many attractions are also closed. However, this is the off-season for tourism, with lower prices and discounted tickets for some scenic areas. Some attractions are even free to visit, allowing you to see the snowy landscapes of northwest China. But I believe that the viewing value in winter is not as good as that in summer and autumn.
III: [Precautions for Traveling in Xinjiang]
1. ‘Wearing a fur coat in the morning and a gauze shirt in the afternoon, eating watermelon around the fireplace’ is a typical portrayal of the climate in Xinjiang. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for cold prevention and heatstroke prevention.
2. Xinjiang has long hours of sunshine and high temperatures in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to bring sunscreen items such as sunscreen lotion, sun umbrellas, and hats.
3. Xinjiang has a dry climate with strong winds and sandstorms. Female travelers are advised to prepare corresponding moisturizing and sunscreen cosmetics, bring plenty of water, and carry a lip balm with them.
5. There are many scenic areas and attractions in Xinjiang, and many of them are along the way. Therefore, renting a car for self-guided tours is a good choice, as it is free and flexible, saving time while allowing you to see more attractions.
