When traveling to Xinjiang from September to October, it is recommended to visit attractions such as Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake in northern Xinjiang, while also considering routes in southern Xinjiang, including Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau.?
September to October is the most beautiful harvest season in Xinjiang, with comfortable weather and a true golden autumn season, with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables. In northern Xinjiang, Kanas and Hemu Village attract a large number of tourists with their magnificent natural scenery, especially Kanas, which is known as one of the most beautiful autumn scenes in China. Tourists can take a cruise on Kanas Lake to feel the clarity and tranquility of the lake up close, and can also participate in hiking or cycling activities to explore this mysterious land in depth. Sayram Lake is also a must-see attraction, with its lake surface like a mirror in September, reflecting the surrounding snow-capped mountains, blue sky, and white clouds, creating a breathtaking beauty.?
In addition, September to October is also the time when the poplar forests in southern Xinjiang turn golden in autumn, especially at the end of October, when the poplar forests in southern Xinjiang are particularly spectacular. Besides natural scenery, routes such as Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau in southern Xinjiang are also great places to experience humanistic customs.?
