Xinjiang can be visited from May to October. This period is the golden time to tour Xinjiang. Although the best travel times vary in different regions, on the whole, Xinjiang’s natural scenery and cultural landscapes present their most beautiful states during this time.?
Specifically:?
May to June: At this time, the grasslands in the Yili region are lush and green, wildflowers are blooming in competition, and the ice and snow on Sayram Lake begin to melt, making it an excellent opportunity to appreciate natural scenery. In addition, the number of tourists in Xinjiang is relatively small in spring, allowing you to avoid the crowds during peak periods.?
July to August: As temperatures rise across Xinjiang, fruits and melons ripen one after another, making it a good time to savor delicious food. At the same time, it is also the peak season to visit scenic spots in Northern Xinjiang such as Kanas and Hemu, where the scenery is breathtaking but relatively crowded with tourists.?
September to October: Autumn in Xinjiang seems like nature has overturned its palette, with a riot of colors. The trees in Kanas turn golden, and the Populus euphratica forests also exhibit a charming golden hue, making it a paradise for photographers. In addition, the number of tourists decreases relatively in autumn, providing a better travel experience.?
In addition, although Southern Xinjiang is dominated by cultural landscapes and is basically not affected by seasons, the mid-to-late October of each year is also a beautiful time when the leaves of Populus euphratica forests turn golden, making it worth visiting.?
. While Northern Xinjiang presents a breathtaking view of thousands of miles of frozen rivers and snowflakes drifting in the winter, it is also a good choice for tourists who love ice and snow landscapes.?
