💡 Travel Tips

When visiting high-altitude or open scenic areas, it’s advisable to bring sun protection items, including sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses, as UV intensity is high locally.
If you need to bring a drone into scenic areas, inquire about the relevant reporting requirements in advance and use it after reporting as required.
Bring valid ID documents when traveling. For some border areas, you need to obtain relevant travel permits in advance. Check with customer service for specific requirements.
Xinjiang’s cuisine tends to be heavy in flavor. Travelers with special dietary needs can inform the driver in advance for suitable dining recommendations.
Some local scenic areas are large in scale. Wear comfortable sports shoes for walking. Some grassland areas have many mosquitoes, so carry insect repellent.
