April and May in Xinjiang is one of the best times to travel, with pleasant weather, magnificent natural scenery, rich cultural heritage, and tempting cuisine.?
In April and May, Xinjiang is in spring, and the weather is gradually warming up, but it has not yet entered the hot summer, so the climate is very pleasant. At this time, Xinjiang’s natural scenery is particularly charming. Large areas of rape flowers and tulips bloom in the sunshine, cattle and sheep on the grassland graze leisurely, and the snow-capped mountains of the Tianshan Mountains melt to form magnificent waterfalls and lakes, such as Tianchi Lake, which are all must-see scenic spots.?
In addition, Xinjiang’s cultural heritage is also an important highlight of travel in April and May. Tourists can visit Kashgar Old Town, the Flaming Mountains and Grape Valley in Turpan, and other scenic spots with a long history and unique architectural style, to experience Xinjiang’s rich historical culture and ethnic customs. At these places, tourists can not only admire ancient buildings and artworks but also experience the local way of life and traditional culture in person.?
Of course, the cuisine in Xinjiang is also a major attraction for travel in April and May. Xinjiang’s special cuisines such as Da Pan Ji (a dish with chicken, potatoes, and peppers cooked in a large plate), mutton kebabs, and hand-grabbed rice are all made from local ingredients with rich flavors and are unforgettable. During the trip, tasting these authentic cuisines is undoubtedly a pleasure.?
Specifically, in April and May, you can go to Sayram Lake to appreciate the ‘last tear of the Atlantic Ocean’. At this time, the lake surface is calm and beautiful; you can also go to Tulgun in Yili to enjoy apricot blossoms all over the mountains and feel the breath of spring; you can also go to Kanas, Nalati Grassland and other places to enjoy the magnificent lakes and mountains and vast grassland scenery.?
In general, the travel experience in Xinjiang in April and May is rich and colorful. Whether it is natural scenery, cultural heritage, or delicious cuisine, it is worth exploring and tasting for tourists.?
