Traveling to Xinjiang in June is very suitable. Here are the detailed reasons:
Climatically suitable: In June, the temperature in Xinjiang is moderate, neither too hot nor too cold, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The average temperature ranges from 17°C to 28°C, with an average daytime temperature of about 18°C and an average nighttime temperature of about 7°C. However, it should be noted that Xinjiang has a vast territory with different climates in different regions, and the diurnal temperature variation is large, so warm clothing should be prepared.
Rich natural landscapes: In June, Xinjiang is in the midst of summer, and various natural landscapes are in their most beautiful states. Lakes such as Kanas Lake and Sayram Lake shimmer with blue waves and offer breathtaking scenery; grasslands like Nalati Grassland and Gongnaisi Grassland are lush with green grass and are excellent places to appreciate grassland scenery. Additionally, unique natural landscapes await tourists to explore in places such as Mount Tianshan and the Devil’s City.
Opening of the Duku Highway: The Duku Highway, known as the "Most Beautiful Highway in China", is open from June to September each year. In early June, the Duku Highway gradually welcomes the vitality of early summer, and tourists can experience the unique feeling of "traveling through four seasons in a single day" on this highway. For tourists who love self-driving tours, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Less crowded and beautiful scenery: In June, schools are in session and students are not on vacation, so there are relatively fewer tourists at scenic spots, making it ideal for off-peak travel. Compared to the crowds during the summer vacation, the travel experience in Xinjiang in June is much better.
Cost savings: Traveling in June can also save a considerable amount of money. Since it’s not yet the peak tourist season, prices for flights, hotels, and other services are relatively low, allowing tourists to enjoy a more affordable travel experience.
In summary, traveling to Xinjiang in June is not only climatically suitable and rich in natural landscapes, but also offers a unique experience of the Duku Highway and fewer crowds, while also saving on travel expenses. Therefore, June is a highly suitable season to visit Xinjiang.
