💡 Travel Tips
In terms of clothing, Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night. Even during the peak summer and autumn travel seasons, it is recommended to prepare jackets of different thicknesses and follow the principle of layered dressing for easy adjustment. The ultraviolet rays are strong throughout the trip, so it is essential to bring sun protection items such as sun protection clothing, sunscreen, and sun hats. You can also carry rain gear to cope with sudden rainy weather in mountainous areas.
In terms of supplies preparation, Xinjiang has a dry climate, so it is recommended to prepare moisturizing items such as face masks and lip balms. The journey between scenic spots is long, so you can bring your own snacks and drinking water. Tourists prone to carsickness can prepare relevant medications in advance. Please carry valid identification documents with you at all times during the trip for easy passage verification at various points.
In terms of sightseeing, the local area is a multi-ethnic region. Please respect local customs and habits, do not take photos of local residents without permission, and do not touch relevant folk taboos. Follow the team’s rhythm throughout the trip and do not leave the group to act alone. When visiting original ecological scenic spots, prioritize your own safety and do not go to undeveloped areas to play.
In terms of diet, there are many local specialties to try, such as the cold-water fish in Burqin, which grows in pure snowmelt water and has tender and firm meat; the hearty Xinjiang大盘鸡 (Dapanji, a type of chicken stew with noodles), with soft and tender chicken paired with chewy belt noodles for a rich taste; in addition, hand-grabbed mutton, baked stuffed buns, pit-roasted mutton, grilled lamb skewers, homemade yogurt, Kvass, etc., are all common local flavors. Tourists can choose to taste according to their own tastes.
