Some people say that Xinjiang in May is a time of blooming flowers and warm sunshine; others say that Xinjiang in July has ripe fruits to eat. However, I believe that autumn is the best time for photographic creation in Xinjiang. Autumn in Xinjiang is golden. Compared to spring, summer, and winter, the golden sight everywhere forms a fairy tale world in the hearts of countless photographic tourism enthusiasts.
A photographic tourist destination with a huge temperature difference between day and night
The average temperature in Xinjiang in summer is around 35 degrees Celsius, which is not suitable for going out. While in autumn, Xinjiang has truly entered the season of clear and crisp autumn weather. The temperature during the day is pleasant, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. However, the climate is cooler in the morning and evening, but this will not only not affect the beautiful scenery during the day here, but also allow you to truly experience the unique Xinjiang style of "wearing a fur coat in the morning and a gauze shirt in the afternoon, eating watermelon around the stove".
Magnificent and Expansive Photography Destination in Xinjiang
Compared to other tourist destinations, Xinjiang is not only sparsely populated but also extremely suitable for photography. Autumn Kanas is surrounded by golden yellow hues. The turquoise lake, like a pearl, and the azure sky form a straight line. Starting from Wolong Bay and moving forward to Moon Bay, the scenery along the way is unpredictable and brings a powerful visual impact to everyone. If you can find a photography position on the highway to take an aerial view of Kanas’s ‘Three Bays’, it will also be an exciting event in your photography tour.
Supplementary Note: Generally speaking, when people talk about Kanas, they refer to Kanas Lake located in the deep mountains and dense forests of Altay. Actually, Kanas refers to a region that includes not only the lake but also the Kanas River Valley, Hemu River Valley, Jadinyu Township, and Baihaba Village.
The Fusion of Various Natural Landscapes
When engaging in photography in Xinjiang, you can not only admire various landscapes such as alpine meadows and desert landforms, but also capture the Urho Magic City, rated as one of ‘China’s Three Yadan Landforms’ by Chinese National Geography. After millions of years of wind erosion, this strangely shaped Magic City has become a must-visit destination for everyone on a photography tour in Xinjiang. In addition, Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves and Mount Flaming in Journey to the West can make you fully experience the unique charm of Xinjiang.
Unique Xinjiang Folk Customs
The ancients said, ‘Food, sex, and self-preservation are human nature.’ I think this is one of the reasons why countless people want to come to Xinjiang. After capturing the beautiful scenery in autumn, it is natural to taste the local specialty foods and experience the local customs to truly consider oneself as having been to Xinjiang. How could one resist the temptation of enjoying Xinjiang’s specialty whole roasted sheep with local residents while appreciating exotic folk dances?
Xinjiang, a place with a high production rate of beautiful women in China, has become a popular destination for countless photography enthusiasts due to its stunning natural scenery. Year after year, what are you waiting for? Why not set off now and head to Xinjiang to witness this magical destination in northwest China?
