Traveling in Xinjiang is suitable for children aged 3 and above, but the suitable travel methods and recommended scenic spots vary among different age groups.?
0-3 years old: Children in this age group are in the sensory stage and are suitable for resort-style travel rather than long-distance travel. Activities such as staying in a homestay, sunbathing, and playing in the sand can be chosen to let children perceive nature. However, it should be noted that children under 3 years old may not be as sensitive to forests and grasslands, and they may be more interested in animals.?
3-6 years old: Children enter the enlightenment and experience stage, full of curiosity about the world, and are suitable for exploration-based family travel. You can take your child to get in touch with nature and explore the world. Places like Sayram Lake and Yili River Valley are good choices.?
6-9 years old: Children are in their growth stage and can combine the content of Xinjiang in primary school textbooks for a trip that combines history and humanities with getting close to nature. This can stimulate children’s learning interest and improve their thinking ability. Recommended destinations include Mount Tianshan and Heavenly Lake, Grape Valley, etc.?
10 years old and above: Children enter the stage of independence and can participate in activities such as independent study camps to cultivate their autonomy and independence. Dushanzi Grand Canyon, Karajun Grassland, and other places are recommended destinations for children to feel and explore on their own.?
However, there is also the view that children under 5 years old may not be very suitable for long-distance travel in Xinjiang due to the long journey, which can easily make children tired, and they may not have a deep appreciation for the beautiful scenery of Xinjiang.?
. Therefore, when deciding to take children to Xinjiang for a tour, parents need to comprehensively consider their children’s actual situation and interests.?
