A minimum of 6 days is needed for a trip to Xinjiang. However, this is only for a short trip with a quick experience option, and the itinerary will be relatively compact. Specifically:?
If you only plan a 6-day itinerary, you can start from Urumqi, visit Tianshan Tianchi on the first day, and head to Turpan on the second day to feel the heat of the Flaming Mountains and taste local grapes. In the following days, you can slowly travel to Kashgar to experience its multiculturalism, but such an itinerary is relatively compact, and you may not be able to deeply experience the characteristics of each place.?
To fully experience Xinjiang, it is recommended to arrange at least 7 days, with the optimal time being 9-10 days. This way, you can better explore the main attractions of Xinjiang.?
Of course, Xinjiang has a vast territory and numerous scenic spots. If you have enough time, it is recommended to arrange a longer trip to fully experience the natural scenery and cultural customs of Xinjiang.?
