The Karez system in Turpan is a millennium-old irrigation system that embodies the wisdom of the working people. The Flaming Mountain has high summer temperatures, so it is recommended to take sun protection measures and bring enough drinking water when visiting.

Minors under 16 must be accompanied by a parent and bring their household registration booklet to the police station for on-site processing. The Duku Highway is recommended for summer travel, with the southern and middle sections each offering unique scenery. The Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon features distinctive red rock formations. The Bayanbulak Grassland and Nalati Valley Grassland are lush with water and grass in summer, offering expansive pastures and scattered livestock. Sayram Lake is surrounded by mountains, with its water color changing to different shades of blue with the light. The Horgos Port is an important border trade port in Xinjiang. The Kanas and Hemu scenic areas in Northern Xinjiang retain their original forest landscapes, with cool summer climates suitable for summer retreats. The五彩滩 (Rainbow Beach) has colorful Yadan landforms that are particularly rich in layers at sunset.
The 2026 civilized travel tips issued by the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism also mention that Xinjiang has a vast territory, long travel routes, and changeable weather and climate. Adequate preparations should be made before traveling. When joining a tour group, choose a regular travel agency with complete qualifications and sign a formal travel contract to protect your legitimate rights and interests.

💡 Travel Tips
The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large. Even in summer, it is recommended to bring a light jacket and windproof clothing. Areas such as the Pamir Plateau, along the Duku Highway, and Kanas have higher altitudes or lower temperatures, so bring a thick jacket to cope with temperature drops.
UV rays in Xinjiang are strong. It is recommended to bring sunscreen, a sun hat, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing. In areas like Turpan with high summer temperatures, carry heatstroke prevention medicine and enough drinking water.
Before traveling, check your valid documents and apply for a border pass in advance to avoid affecting your itinerary.
During the trip, follow the relevant regulations of the scenic spots, travel civilly, take away any waste generated, and jointly protect Xinjiang’s ecological environment.
If there are itinerary changes, service complaints, or suggestions, contact the travel agency staff immediately, negotiate rationally, and protect your rights legally and compliantly.
