Travel tips:Make the journey better
Season selection:May-June is suitable for grassland flower seas, July-August is suitable for summer escapes to blue lakes, and September is suitable for autumn scenery photography;
Clothing preparation:Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, so warm jackets are needed; some scenic areas are at high altitude, so oxygen bottles are recommended;
Photography equipment:Kanas, Sayram Lake, the Pamir Plateau, and other places have excellent light, so wide-angle lenses and tripods are recommended;
Cultural respect:When visiting and making home visits to families of various ethnic groups, local customs must be followed (such as removing shoes and avoiding impolite photography).
