The main suitable time for tourism in Xinjiang is from May to October, especially from September to October. Specifically:?
From May to June: At this time, the grasslands in the Yili region are green, and wildflowers are blooming in competition. The ice and snow on Sayram Lake begin to melt, and the lake water and snow-capped mountains complement each other, making it an excellent opportunity to appreciate natural scenery. Meanwhile, spring arrives later in northern Xinjiang, and places such as the Yili River Valley and Qiaxi Forest Park are also suitable for sightseeing, where wildflowers and apricot blossoms can be seen.?
From July to August: The temperature rises in various parts of Xinjiang, and fruits and melons ripen one after another, making it a good time to taste delicacies. At this time, the grasslands are lush, and events such as the Nadamu Festival and Tianma Festival are held on the grasslands. At the same time, it is also the peak season for visiting northern Xinjiang scenic spots such as Kanas and Hemu, where the scenery is breathtaking, but there are relatively more tourists.?
From September to October: Autumn in Xinjiang is like a palette overturned by nature, colorful. The trees in Kanas turn golden yellow, and the poplar forest also presents a charming golden color, making it a paradise for photographers. The weather is sunny and the temperature is suitable at this time, providing a better travel experience.?
In addition, although wildflowers and apricot blossoms have already bloomed in some areas of Xinjiang from March to April, it is windy at this time, with frequent cold waves, and more windy and dusty weather, which may affect the travel experience. Although the winter scenery in Xinjiang is beautiful, many places are closed due to snow, and attractions are shut down, so it is not very suitable for tourism.?
In summary, the period from May to October, especially from September to October, is the most suitable time for tourism in Xinjiang. However, the specific travel time needs to be selected according to personal preferences and itinerary arrangements.?
