The best time to visit Xinjiang is from May to October each year. Specifically:?
May to June: With moderate temperatures, this is a great time to admire spring flowers and grasslands. Lavender in Yili and wildflowers at the foot of Mount Tianshan are in full bloom, creating a delightful scenery. In addition, the number of tourists in Xinjiang in spring is relatively small, allowing you to avoid the crowds during peak times.?
July to August: Temperatures rise across Xinjiang, and fruits and vegetables ripen, making it a great time to savor local delicacies. At the same time, it is also the peak season to visit scenic areas in northern Xinjiang such as Kanas and Hemu, where the scenery is breathtaking but relatively crowded with tourists.?
September to October: Autumn in Xinjiang is like a painter’s palette turned upside down by nature, with a riot of colors. The trees in Kanas turn golden, and the poplar forests also exhibit a captivating golden hue, making it a paradise for photographers.?
In addition, the apricot blossoms in southern Xinjiang from late March to early April, as well as the wildflowers on the Nalati Grasslands and Karajun Grasslands in early June, are also worth seeing.?
. However, from March to April, Xinjiang often experiences windy and dusty weather, while in winter, temperatures can drop to minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Many places are closed off due to snow, and attractions are shut down, making it unsuitable for tourism.?
. In general, you can choose a suitable time to visit Xinjiang according to your personal preferences and itinerary.?
