💡 Travel Precautions
Clothing preparation: Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. During visits from June to September, daytime temperatures in urban areas and Gobi regions are high, so bring short sleeves, long skirts, and other photo-friendly clothing. In mountainous areas, lakesides, and during morning and evening, temperatures are generally 10-15 degrees lower than urban areas, so bring light sweaters, lightweight windbreakers, and other windproof and warm clothing. UV intensity is high locally, even on cloudy days, so bring sun hats, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen to avoid sunburn.
Schedule adjustment:Local time in Xinjiang is about 2 hours behind inland China. Shops and restaurants generally open after 10 AM, and meal times are also delayed. Scenic area visits will be adjusted to local schedules, so adjust your personal schedule in advance to avoid affecting your travel experience.
Consumption tips:Local goods in Xinjiang are typically priced per kilogram. When buying bulk food or specialties, confirm the pricing unit to avoid misunderstandings. Fresh-cut fruit platters and specialty snacks in scenic areas may have higher markups, so choose based on personal needs.
Document preparation: The itinerary involves border-related locations such as Taxkorgan, Baisha Lake, and Horgos. A travel permit must be obtained in advance, either free of charge at the government service hall in your place of residence before departure or at local government service points after arriving in Xinjiang. Carry valid identification throughout the trip to comply with railway and scenic area verification requirements.
Train tips:The train carriages are equipped with power outlets, bedding, and other basic facilities. Bathroom-equipped rooms include private bathroom spaces. Bring commonly used items and portable entertainment devices as needed to enrich leisure time on the train.
