(Subsequent itinerary can be planned according to personal interests and actual situation, such as visiting the Nalati Grassland, Kashgar, etc.)
This plan starts from Urumqi and gradually delves into the hinterland of Xinjiang. Tourists can choose subsequent attractions based on their own time and interests.
Precautions:
Xinjiang has a dry climate and a large temperature difference between morning and night, so sunscreen and warm clothing are necessary.
Long driving may be involved in the itinerary, so attention should be paid to driving safety and reasonable rest time should be arranged.
Book accommodation and tickets in advance to avoid delaying the itinerary.
The above guide is for reference only, and the specific itinerary needs to be adjusted according to personal actual situation and interests.
