April is a great time to travel to Xinjiang, as it is spring with blooming apricot blossoms and pleasant scenery. Additionally, travel expenses are relatively low and there are fewer tourists, allowing for a quieter travel experience.?
One of the highlights of Xinjiang in April is the apricot blossoms. The apricot blossoms in Xinjiang mainly bloom from late March to mid-April. The Turpan Basin is the first place to greet spring with blooming flowers, known as the "First Spring of Xinjiang", together with the apricot blossoms in the Ili Valley and Pamir Plateau, constituting the most "fortunate" spring scenery in the country.?
Tuergen Apricot Valley is a great place to enjoy apricot blossoms, with the blooming period around April 9th.?
Moreover, Yining City in the Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture is also a great place to enjoy apricot blossoms, and visitors can also tour attractions such as the Ili River, Liuxing Street, and Hanren Street.?
Apart from enjoying apricot blossoms, there are many other scenic spots worth visiting in Xinjiang in April. For example, Sayram Lake is praised as the "Last Drop of Tears of the Atlantic Ocean", and it is very interesting to take a walk around the lake, with 12 photo spots.?
Kanas Hemu is known as the "Garden of God’s Afterlife", and the three bays of Kanas (Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay) are must-visit destinations.?
In addition, the grassland scenery of Nalati Grassland and Bayinbrok Grassland are paradises for grassland lovers.?
In terms of travel methods, visitors can choose to join a tour group or travel independently. Joining a tour group is more convenient, as accommodation, transportation, and entrance fees are all included, saving a lot of trouble and money compared to self-guided travel.?
For self-guided tours, it is necessary to make a travel plan in advance and pay attention to the distance between scenic spots and transportation options. Regardless of the choice of travel method, one should understand the local weather conditions in advance and make corresponding preparations. The weather in Xinjiang in April tends to be cooler, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so it is necessary to wear warm clothing such as windbreakers and fleece-lined jackets.?
In general, the tourist experience in Xinjiang in April is very rich. Whether it is enjoying apricot blossoms or visiting other scenic spots, visitors can feel the unique charm of Xinjiang. Meanwhile, since the travel expenses are relatively low and there are fewer tourists at this time, one can enjoy a quieter and more comfortable travel experience.?
