Xinjiang’s three-day travel guide can include exploring Urumqi city, a natural scenery tour of Tianshan Tianchi, and a combined itinerary of the International Bazaar and Flaming Mountain.?
I. Exploring Urumqi City?
Day 1: After arriving in Urumqi, you can first visit Hongshan Park to enjoy the cityscape and folk customs of Urumqi.?
. Then head to the International Bazaar, which is the world’s largest bazaar with a strong Islamic architectural style. You can purchase specialties, taste authentic cuisine, and enjoy song and dance performances in the evening.?
II. Natural Scenery Tour of Tianshan Tianchi?
Day 2: Depart from Urumqi and head to Tianshan Tianchi. Tianshan Tianchi is an alpine lake with clear blue water surrounded by snow-capped mountains, offering spectacular scenery. You can choose to hike, ride a horse, or take a shuttle bus to tour Tianchi.?
III. Combined Itinerary of International Bazaar and Flaming Mountain?
Another three-day tour option is to still experience the culture and cuisine of Xinjiang at the International Bazaar on the first day. On the second day, head to Flaming Mountain to feel its unique geographical landscape and mythical background, and you can also visit Mazacun Village to experience historical changes and taste local cuisine.?
. On the third day, you can arrange a relatively relaxed itinerary, such as free activities in Urumqi city or choosing to visit nearby attractions.?
In addition, if you have plenty of time and want to experience more of Xinjiang’s scenery, you can also consider extending your itinerary to four or five days, including visits to famous attractions such as Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland.?
. But based on the three-day tour limit, the three recommended routes above are all relatively compact choices that fully experience the characteristics of Xinjiang. Remember to make adequate preparations before traveling, including booking tickets, arranging accommodation, preparing sunscreen and hydrating products, etc.?
