The Xinjiang travel guide for February mainly includes pre-trip preparations, attraction recommendations, and clothing suggestions:?
I. Pre-trip Preparations?
Documents: Be sure to carry your ID card. If you plan to visit border areas such as Tashkurgan County, you need to apply for a border pass in advance. You can apply at your household registration location or at designated locations upon arrival in Xinjiang.?
Clothing: In February, the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large. Warm clothing such as thick down jackets, sweaters, and thermal pants are essential. Also bring a lightweight jacket for convenient wearing during the day. Choose comfortable and non-slip shoes for easy walking in scenic areas.?
Skincare and sunscreen: Xinjiang’s climate is dry with strong ultraviolet rays. Be sure to bring high-SPF sunscreen, hydrating face masks, lip balm, sun hats, sun-protective clothing, and other skincare and sunscreen products.?
Medicine: Prepare common medications such as cold medicine, stomach medicine, motion sickness medication, fever reducers, etc., in case of discomfort.?
Other items: Bring a high-capacity power bank and a camera. Xinjiang has many beautiful sceneries that you can freely capture.?
II. Attraction Recommendations?
Kanas: Avoid the peak season during the Spring Festival. Kanas is quiet and offers beautiful scenery such as rime ice, birch forests, and ice lakes.?
Hemu Village: In the village, you can make snowmen, play snowball fights, or climb up to the viewing platform to enjoy a panoramic view of Hemu Village. The winter atmosphere is full.?
Sayram Lake: It has different beauties throughout the seasons. In winter, the lake surface freezes, becoming crystal clear. On a good day, you can see the distant sunlit golden mountains.?
Jikepulin Ski Resort: With good snow quality and no wind in winter, it’s a great destination for ski lovers.?
Kashi Old Town: It’s perfect for a city walk, exploring the old town, taking portraits, and enjoying local cuisine.?
III. Clothing Suggestions?
Down jacket: Wear a down jacket on the outside and warm clothing inside. Staying warm is very important.?
Anti-slip snow boots: Be sure to prepare anti-slip snow boots, and you can also bring heat-generating insoles.?
Three-piece set: Gloves, scarves, and hats. The fluffy ones are even better, providing both warmth and great photo effects.?
Bright-colored clothing: Red, blue, yellow, and other bright-colored clothing will make your photos stand out more.?
In addition, you can also visit blue ice and Swan Lake at the beginning of February. The snowy scenery in Altay is also very beautiful and worth visiting.?
