The best time to visit Xinjiang is from May to October each year. Specifically:?
Spring (May to June): The temperature is moderate, making it a good time to appreciate spring flowers and grasslands. The lavender in Yili and the wildflowers at the foot of Mount Tianshan are in full bloom, creating a pleasant scenery. In addition, the number of tourists in Xinjiang is relatively small in spring, allowing you to avoid the crowds during peak times.?
Summer (July to August): Although the temperatures are higher, it is also the season with the most abundant fruits of the year, such as Hami melons and grapes. At this time, you can experience the ‘fragrant fruits’ of Xinjiang. In addition, Xinjiang’s nightlife is rich in summer, with various food festivals and ethnic festivals frequently held, allowing you to deeply experience the local culture.?
Autumn (September to October): This is the golden season for tourism in Xinjiang. The weather is sunny, the temperature is pleasant, and the fruits are still sweet. Moreover, the colorful autumn scenery makes it a paradise for photographers. Places like Kanas and Hemu Village in northern Xinjiang, with golden birch forests, green lakes, and distant snow-capped mountains, form a beautiful picture scroll.?
In addition, from March to April, you can enjoy the apricot blossoms in Yili, appreciate the golden scenery of the Populus euphratica forest in southern Xinjiang in mid-to-late October, and experience the ice and snow season in northern Xinjiang from December to March of the following year.?
. In short, Xinjiang has beautiful scenery in all four seasons, and you can choose a suitable time to visit according to your personal preferences and itinerary.?
