💡 Travel Tips
Xinjiang is vast with long drives between attractions; bring a portable neck pillow and comfortable shoes for a better journey. Temperature differences are significant; even in summer, bring a thick jacket for mountain or nighttime cold. Southern Xinjiang is dry; pack moisturizers and a large water bottle to stay hydrated. Carry valid ID for checks. Respect local ethnic customs during the tour to maintain a pleasant atmosphere.
