Xinjiang is a very mysterious and vast place. It is also the province with the largest area in my country. It has been the land where many cultures of the Western Regions and the civilization of the Central Plains blended together since ancient times. It has unique geographical landforms and climate environment. Producing many sweet and delicious fruits, I will share detailed strategies with you below.
1. Preliminary preparations for Xinjiang tourism
1. The geographical area of ??Xinjiang is really too large, equivalent to 4 times the sum of Beijing + Shanghai + Jiangsu + Zhejiang + Guangdong. Almost every day when traveling in Xinjiang, more than 1/3 of the time is spent in cars, so friends who want to travel to Xinjiang must be mentally prepared to sit in a car for a long time. It is worth mentioning that the scenery on both sides of the roads in Xinjiang is really good. Sometimes the most beautiful scenery is on the road.
2. Xinjiang has abundant sunshine and is very dry and hot everywhere. Xinjiang is located in the middle of the Eurasian continent. This geographical location determines that it is difficult for water vapor from the ocean to reach. Urumqi is the farthest from the ocean in the world. Therefore, the climate in Xinjiang is generally dry and the air humidity is low. Therefore, when traveling to Xinjiang, you must do a good job of hydrating and moisturizing. Friends who want to go to Hotan and Taklimakan Desert areas must also take precautions. Measures against wind and sand.

2. Travel Time
The best travel seasons in Xinjiang: June, July, August, September and October
< p>①March-April: Windy, cold wave invasion, strong winds, sand and dust are prone to occur, and precipitation increases. It is a good choice to go to southern Xinjiang at this time. Peach and apricot flowers are in bloom, and the prairie has just recovered. Wild apricot flowers can be viewed in Turpan, Shanshan and other places.②June: In the Yili area, you can enjoy the sea of ??flowers and the most beautiful lavender (the most beautiful in mid-June, but the fruits are not yet ripe at this time.

④September-October: It is the most beautiful harvest season in Xinjiang. The weather is comfortable, it is the real golden autumn season, and the fruits are fragrant.

3. Consumption level
Do you think prices in Xinjiang are very low? In fact, you are only half right. In southern Xinjiang, prices are indeed very low. You can basically spend more than ten yuan. You can eat a lot, and fruits are extremely cheap. For example, watermelons from Kuqa cost 50 cents per kilogram! And they are big and sweet.
But! Focus! The watermelon from northern Xinjiang is only 50 cents per kilogram. Prices are not low at all, especially the level of tourism consumption is very high. I can definitely say that the level of tourism consumption in northern Xinjiang is comparable to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou!! What caught me off guard in Xinjiang was the price of food and beverages in northern Xinjiang. In Xinjiang, a full meal often costs at least 30-40 yuan (more expensive near scenic spots, because the food in Xinjiang is relatively large, so it is also expensive. A plate of noodles costs at least 20-25 yuan. If it is in Scenic spots are even scarier. I saw such a small dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the Kanas Scenic Spot selling for 48 yuan! If you want to eat meat in the scenic spot during the peak season, it will basically start at 55-65 yuan (except barbecue.
Scenic area tickets are not cheap, especially for large and famous scenic spots, plus inter-regional tickets, they basically cost more than 150 yuan, and some even cost more than 200 to 300 yuan.
So. Before coming to Xinjiang, make sure you have enough travel funds. Traveling in Xinjiang may cost you a lot. In this regard, group tours are the best choice. After all, travel agencies can get tickets for tourist attractions. The prices of hotels, lunches, etc. are much cheaper than what you can get personally.

6. Travel precautions
1. Weather: As the saying goes, "Wear a cotton-padded jacket in the morning, wear a gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove." The weather in Xinjiang is changeable, and you can experience four seasons in one day Please be sure to prepare sun protection, cold protection, and rain protection equipment;
2. Clothing: There is a large temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang. Even in July and August, the nights are relatively cold. You should wear clothes with good breathability and Warm clothing is the main thing. Also, try to wear loose, cotton-made pants. If you want to ride a horse, be sure not to wear sandals barefoot, as the stirrups will wear out your feet before long.
3. Sun protection and heatstroke prevention: Some areas in Xinjiang have high altitudes and strong ultraviolet radiation, so please bring sun protection items (such as high-quality sunscreen, sunglasses, preferably long sleeves and long pants, otherwise, after a day It will definitely burn off a layer of skin. In addition, the highest temperature in Turpan in summer can reach over 40 degrees, so you should be equipped with heat-clearing and heatstroke-preventing medicines or granules;
4. Transportation: The straight roads in Xinjiang are prone to visual fatigue. It is easy to speed; the roads in places such as Tianshan Daban are very steep and the road conditions are also very poor, so drive carefully; and most of Xinjiang is a pastoral area, and there are often cattle, sheep and other livestock on the roads. If you hit the livestock with your car, you have to pay compensation and apologize. . Friends who are traveling by car, please pay attention to safety! In addition, the road time may be relatively long, so travelers who suffer from motion sickness need to pay attention.
5. Rent a car: It is best to rent a car with someone who can drive. Because Xinjiang has a vast territory, it is normal for each scenic area to be five to six hundred kilometers apart. Driving alone will be very tiring. At the same time, because there are relatively few expressway vehicles in Xinjiang, many people will speed, so be sure to pay attention to safety.
6. Shopping: Everything sold in Xinjiang is measured in kilograms. If you ask how much a kilogram is, you will be ripped off. Even if the other party says how much does it cost per kilogram, it also means how much does it cost per kilogram. Don’t make a mistake and pay them double the amount. In addition, try to be friendly in areas where ethnic minorities gather. If you are not sure what you want, don't bargain casually, otherwise it may cause dissatisfaction among local ethnic minority businessmen. Some ethnic groups have some taboos, which must be understood and respected;
7. Accommodation: Generally speaking, except for a few cities such as Urumqi and Karamay, which have modern hotels, the accommodation conditions in other places in Xinjiang are relatively good. It's shabby and expensive, many places don't have air conditioning, and some don't even have showers or separate toilets. We must have these basic understandings before going there. Staying in a residential house with ethnic characteristics, although the conditions are simple, is a different experience from another perspective. Of course, some scenic spots also have luxuriously decorated modern hotels. Accommodation in sparsely populated remote areas is not very convenient. Some places that are rarely visited by tourists not only have no hotels or guest houses, but also no residents. They only have their own cars and other means of transportation and tents.
8. Banks: There are many banks of various types in the capital of each state, such as Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, etc. However, there are very few banks in counties and townships, so you need to prepare a certain amount of cash. You can pay with WeChat Pay or Alipay in most places, but it may not be possible in some remote places with poor signal, so please prepare enough cash and store it in several separate parts to reduce the risk of loss.
9. Time difference: There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland. The commuting hours of most service agencies and government departments are different from those in the Mainland. The morning starting time is usually 10 or 11 o'clock, and the lunch break is longer, usually starting after 15:00. In addition, although the passenger terminals all use Beijing time, local ethnic minority drivers are accustomed to speaking Xinjiang time, so they should pay special attention to confirm the time when chartering or taking a bus.
10. Acclimatization: The water in Xinjiang is alkaline and relatively hard, so people who are not used to it will suffer from constipation after drinking it. People in the east are prone to diarrhea if they eat various mutton and dairy products from Xinjiang, and there are also disadvantages if they are too fresh.
11. Security check: The security check in Xinjiang is very strict (and you may have to check again or multiple times during the journey. At the airport, you are required to empty your pockets and take off your shoes, and then scan the soles of your feet before boarding the plane. There are also secondary security checks at the passage; transportation hubs such as train stations and bus stations generally have to go through 3-4 security checks, so whether you are taking a plane, train, or car, go at least an hour in advance
12. .Due to the dry climate in Xinjiang, it is best not to wear contact lenses. Especially in some areas, the accommodation conditions are poor and it is not convenient to wash them. If you need to bring them, bring a few extra pairs.
13. Border. : There are many military restricted areas and national borders in Xinjiang where it is prohibited to visit or take photos. You must remember this clearly, otherwise you will cause unnecessary trouble; go to Baihaba, Horgos, Khunjerab, etc. In other places, you need to apply for a border pass at the armed police border brigade in Burqin County, Huocheng County and Taxkorgan County. You can also apply at the police station where your household registration is located in advance. Otherwise, you may have to wait in line for a long time when you go to the local area.
14. Insurance: Accidents and illnesses may happen at any time during the trip, especially if you go to special areas to carry out special activities, such as mountain climbing, desert crossing, ancient trail hiking, etc. Even if you are strong and agile, you need to be careful before traveling.
