The convenience of tourism in southern Xinjiang can be considered from multiple aspects:?
Tourism in southern Xinjiang is relatively convenient in terms of transportation and accommodation, but there may be certain challenges in itinerary planning and under certain special conditions.?
Transportation situation:?
The distances between attractions in southern Xinjiang are relatively far, so it is recommended to rent a car (with a driver and guide) as a mode of transportation, which can save the fatigue of driving and the problem of unfamiliar road conditions.?
Self-driving is also an option, but considering the complex road conditions and long travel times in Xinjiang, it may not be recommended for tourists visiting Xinjiang for the first time.?
Accommodation conditions:?
Although the economic development of southern Xinjiang is not as good as that of northern Xinjiang, its tourism reception facilities are not backward. In places like Kashgar, Aksu, Hotan, and Korla, there are numerous five-star hotels with complete facilities that can meet the accommodation needs of different tourists.?
Itinerary planning:?
The tourist attractions in southern Xinjiang are mainly concentrated in the Pamir Plateau, and some attractions are relatively scattered, which may result in longer driving times each day. Therefore, tourists need to fully consider this when planning their itinerary to avoid a too tiring journey.?
Due to the long distances between attractions, a southern Xinjiang circuit trip starting from Urumqi requires at least 3,500 kilometers. Calculated at a speed of 400 kilometers per day, it will take at least ten days. This may be a challenge for tourists visiting Xinjiang for the first time.?
Other precautions:?
The temperature difference between day and night in southern Xinjiang is large, and tourists need to prepare enough clothing to cope with temperature changes.?
The signal in some areas of Xinjiang is unstable, and there may even be no signal, which may be an inconvenience for tourists who rely on navigation.?
The ethnic minority population in southern Xinjiang is larger than the Han population, and tourists may encounter language barriers when communicating with local ethnic minority compatriots.?
In summary, southern Xinjiang offers good convenience in terms of transportation and accommodation for tourism, but tourists need to be fully prepared in terms of itinerary planning and dealing with special conditions.?
