　　But for first-time travelers to Xinjiang, facing its vast territory and diverse cultures, they are often at a loss. If you want to have a great and satisfying time in Xinjiang, read this guide first!!

　　Xinjiang is located in the northwest border of China, occupying one-sixth of the country’s land area and is one of China’s largest provinces. It can be divided into northern and southern Xinjiang, with the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, and there are obvious differences between the two regions.

　　Major film and variety show filming locations. Xinjiang’s beauty is well-known, with its vast territory, numerous ethnic groups, and diverse cultures… all of which are favorite locations for major films and variety shows.

　　The wind-eroded landscape and oddly shaped Ghost City in ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’; Hami with roads leading to various places in ‘No Man’s Land’; Kashgar with grayish-yellow walls and full of Central Asian exoticism in ‘The Kite Runner’; Kanas, known as "God’s Palette" and "Eastern Switzerland" in ‘Dad, Where Are We Going?’; Yili with picturesque forest and snowy mountains in ‘Martial Universe’…

　　In short, coming to Xinjiang will definitely allow you to appreciate the different customs of two countries without leaving the country.

　　Be mentally prepared for long car rides. The distance between scenic spots in Xinjiang is measured in hundreds of kilometers. It often takes more than ten hours to travel from one scenic spot to another. Some scenic spots are so large that you need to take a tour bus inside.

　　But the scenery along the way will definitely amaze you. Ps: You can bring a neck pillow.

　　Keep hydrated and moisturized. Besides being vast, Xinjiang is also quite dry. Xinjiang is located in the central part of the continent, where ocean moisture is hard to reach, resulting in low air humidity.

　　So be sure to bring moisturizing products when coming to Xinjiang. Ps: Prepare sunscreen in summer.

　　Girls should prepare brightly colored dresses. If you want to take stunning photos at scenic spots, bright and fresh dresses are essential.

　　There are many photo-worthy spots in Xinjiang, such as Sayram Lake, Princess Jieyou’s Lavender Field, the Xiate Ancient Road… Every picture you take will be stunning.

　　Ps: You can prepare sunglasses, straw hats, sun umbrellas, and various other photo props.
