[Scenic features]
The geographical differences between North and South Xinjiang are significant:North Xinjiang is represented by snow mountains, forests, and grasslands such as Kanas and Hemu, beautiful in all four seasons (green wonderland in summer, layered forests dyed in autumn); South Xinjiang centers on Kashgar Old City and the Pamir Plateau, showing rich Western Regions culture and magnificent desert and Gobi scenery.
