Everything sold in Xinjiang is calculated by the kilogram. If you ask how much is a catty, you may be slaughtered. Even if the other party still says how much is a catty, it means how much is a catty. Make no mistake, give someone twice as much money.
There are many banks in the capital of Xinjiang, such as China Bank, China Construction Bank and Agricultural Bank. However, there are fewer county and township banks, so cash should be prepared. Most of them can be paid by WeChat and Alipay, but some places are too remote and the signal is not good, which is very difficult. It is best to prepare enough cash.
From 0 10 to 10 10, there is actually a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland, so the commuting time of many service agencies and government departments is different from that of China. The working hours in the morning are usually ten or eleven, and the rest time is longer at noon. I usually go to work after 15. The passenger stations here are all based on Beijing time, but some ethnic minorities speak Xinjiang time all year round. So pay attention to confirm the charter time.
Except for a few modern hotels in Urumqi, Karamay and other cities, the accommodation environment in other parts of Xinjiang is relatively simple and expensive. Many places have no air conditioning, and some places don't even have fields and separate toilets. Pay attention to these when you go to Xinjiang. However, some scenic spots will have modern hotels with luxurious decoration, but the price is three digits close to four digits. It is inconvenient to live in a remote place with few people. In some sparsely populated places, there may be no hotels or guest houses, and residents with children have no children. At this time, they only need to equip themselves with other means of transportation such as cars and bring their own tents.
