The Best Roadmap of Xinjiang Tourism Raiders Route

Xinjiang is a very mysterious and wide-area place, and it is also the largest province in China. Since ancient times, it has been a land where many cultures in the western regions and civilizations in the Central Plains blend and contact, with a unique geographical landform and climate environment, and produces many sweet and delicious fruits. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

First, the preparatory work for Xinjiang tourism

1. The geographical area of Xinjiang is really too large, which is equivalent to four times the sum of Beijing+Shanghai+Jiangsu+Zhejiang+Guangdong. Almost one-third of the time spent traveling in Xinjiang is by car, so friends who want to travel in Xinjiang must be psychologically prepared to take a long bus. It is worth mentioning that the scenery on both sides of the highway in Xinjiang is really good, and sometimes the most beautiful scenery is on the road.

2. Xinjiang is full of sunshine, and it is very dry and hot everywhere. Xinjiang is located in the middle of Eurasia, which determines that the water vapor in the ocean is difficult to reach. Urumqi is the farthest city from the ocean in the world. Therefore, the climate in Xinjiang is relatively dry on the whole, and the air humidity is low. Therefore, you must do a good job of replenishing water and moisturizing when traveling to Xinjiang. If you want to visit friends in Hotan area and Taklimakan desert area, you should also take measures to prevent sandstorms.

Panorama of Xinjiang tourism

Second, the travel time

The Best Tourism Season in Xinjiang: June, July, August, September and October.

① March-April: windy, cold wave invasion, prone to strong winds, sandstorms and floating dust, and increased precipitation. At this time, it is a good choice to go to southern Xinjiang. Peach blossoms and apricot blossoms are actually open, and there is a prairie that has just recovered. Wild apricot flowers can be seen in Turpan and Shanshan.

② June: You can enjoy the flowers and the most beautiful lavender in the Ili area (it is the most beautiful in mid-June, but the fruits and vegetables are not yet mature.

From July to August, you can still see the sea of flowers all over the mountains and the vast grassland with rich water plants. The mountainous area is a good summer resort. At this time, the grassland welcomes Nadam and Tianma Festival. However, the lavender has been harvested and the fruits and vegetables began to ripen in mid-August.

April 9-October: It is the most beautiful harvest season in Xinjiang, with comfortable weather. It is a real golden autumn season with fragrant fruits and vegetables. Kanas in autumn is recognized as the most beautiful autumn scenery in China, and Populus euphratica forest in southern Xinjiang is also stained with the color of golden autumn, and fruits are also in the harvest season. However, these two months are also the most prosperous tourist season in Xinjiang, and accordingly prices and scenic spot ticket prices have risen.

Third, the level of consumption

Do you think the prices in Xinjiang are very low? In fact, you are only half right. In southern Xinjiang, the price is really low. Basically, you can eat very well with a dozen dollars, and the fruit is even cheaper. For example, the watermelon in Kuqa is 50 cents a kilogram, which is one kilogram! And big and sweet.

But! Focus! The price in northern Xinjiang is not low at all, especially the level of tourism consumption is very high. I can say with certainty that the level of tourism consumption in northern Xinjiang can be comparable to that in first-tier cities such as Beishangguang! ! What caught me off guard most in Xinjiang was the price of food and beverage. In northern Xinjiang, a full meal often costs at least 30-40 yuan (it is more expensive near the scenic spot, because the food eaten in Xinjiang is relatively large, so it is correspondingly expensive, and a plate of mixed noodles costs at least 20-25 yuan. If it is in the scenic spot, it is even more terrible. I saw in Kanas scenic spot that the tomato scrambled eggs with such a small dish sold for 48 yuan! In peak season, if you want to eat meat in scenic spots, you basically have to start from 55 to 65 yuan (except barbecue).

Tickets for scenic spots are not cheap either, especially for large and famous scenic spots, and with interval tickets, they are basically more than 150 yuan, and some even cost more than 200 to 300 yuan.

So before you come to Xinjiang, make sure you have enough travel expenses. Traveling in Xinjiang may cost you a lot. In this respect, traveling with a group is the best choice. After all, the prices of scenic spots tickets, hotels and lunches that travel agencies can get are much cheaper than those that you can get personally.

In the big cities of Xinjiang, it is basically no problem to communicate in Chinese, but in some minority autonomous prefectures in northern Xinjiang, language barriers may be encountered. When you meet ethnic minorities, speak Chinese as slowly as possible. If the other person still doesn't understand, try to ask the children, because now Xinjiang is basically bilingual education, and many children can speak Chinese.

Vi. Matters needing attention in tourism

1. Weather: As the saying goes, "Wear cotton-padded jacket early and yarn at noon, and eat watermelon around the stove." The weather in Xinjiang is changeable, and the four seasons can change in one day. Please be sure to prepare sun protection, cold protection and rain protection equipment.

2. Clothing: The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large. Even in July and August, it is cold at night. Dressing should be based on clothing with good permeability and warmth. Moreover, try to wear loose and cotton pants. If you want to ride a horse, don't wear sandals barefoot. Before long, the stirrup will wear out your feet.

3. Sunscreen and heatstroke prevention: In some areas of Xinjiang, the altitude is high, and the ultraviolet radiation is strong, so please take sunscreen items (such as high-grade sunscreen and sunglasses, preferably long-sleeved trousers), otherwise, a layer of skin will definitely be sunburned at the end of the day. In addition, the highest temperature in Turpan in summer can reach above 40 degrees, so it should be equipped with drugs or granules for clearing away heat and heatstroke;

4. Transportation: The straight roads in Xinjiang are prone to visual fatigue and speeding; Roads in places like Daban in Tianshan Mountain are very steep and the road conditions are very poor. Drive carefully. Moreover, most of Xinjiang is a pastoral area, and there are often cattle, sheep and other livestock on the roads. It is necessary to compensate and apologize for driving into livestock. Go on road trip friends, please pay attention to safety! In addition, the time on the road may be longer, so travelers who have motion sickness need to pay attention.

5. Rent a car: It is best to have more than one driver when renting a car, because Xinjiang has a vast territory, and it is normal for each scenic area to be separated by five or six hundred kilometers. It will be very tiring to drive alone. At the same time, because there are fewer cars on expressways in Xinjiang, many people will speed, so we must pay attention to safety.

6. Shopping: Everything sold in Xinjiang is based on kilograms. If you ask how much a kilo is, you will be slaughtered. Even if the other person says how much is a kilo, it means how much is a kilo. Don't make a mistake, pay people twice as much. In addition, try to be friendly in ethnic minority areas. If you are not sure about what you want, don't bargain casually, otherwise it may cause dissatisfaction among local ethnic minority businessmen. Some ethnic groups have some taboos, so we must learn more and respect them.

7. Accommodation: Generally speaking, except for modern hotels in a few cities such as Urumqi and Karamay, the accommodation conditions in other places in Xinjiang are relatively simple and expensive. Many places do not have air conditioning, and some places do not even have showers and separate toilets. Before we go, we must have these basic understandings. Although the conditions are simple, it is also a different experience from another perspective. Of course, some scenic spots also have modern hotels with luxurious decoration. In sparsely populated remote areas, accommodation is not very convenient. In some places where tourists are rare, there are not only hotels or guest houses, but also no residents. Only they are equipped with other means of transportation such as cars and their own tents.

8. Banks: There are still many kinds of banks in the capital of each state, such as China Bank, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank and so on. But there are few banks in counties and townships, so we should prepare some cash. You can pay by WeChat or Alipay in most places, but not necessarily in some remote places with poor signal, so please prepare enough cash and store it separately to reduce the risk of loss.

9. Time difference: There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland. The commuting hours of most service agencies and government departments are different from those in the Mainland. Generally, the working hours are at 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning, and the rest time is longer at noon. Generally, they don't go to work until after 15 o'clock. In addition, although the passenger stations are all based on Beijing time, local minority drivers are used to saying Xinjiang time, so they should pay special attention to confirming the time when renting a car or taking a bus.

10. acclimatization: the water in Xinjiang is alkaline and hard, so people who are not used to it will be constipated. People in the east eat all kinds of mutton products and dairy products in Xinjiang, which are easy to have diarrhea. Being too fresh also has disadvantages.

11. Security check: The security check in Xinjiang is very strict (and it may have to be checked again and again halfway. At the airport, after the pockets on the body are hollowed out and shoes are taken off, the soles of the feet must be scanned, and there is a second security check at the boarding passage; Railway stations, bus stations and other transportation hubs generally have to go through security checks for 3-4 times, so whether by plane, train or bus, you should go at least one hour in advance.

12. Due to the dry climate in Xinjiang, it is especially reminded not to wear contact lenses. Especially in some areas, the accommodation conditions are not good, and it is not convenient to wash, so if you want to bring, you should also bring more backup.

13. Border: There are many military restricted zones and national borders in Xinjiang where sightseeing and taking pictures are forbidden. Please remember this clearly, otherwise it will bring unnecessary trouble. To Baihaba, Horgos, Hongqilafu and other places, you need to apply for a border pass at the Armed Police Frontier Brigade in Burqin County, Huocheng County and Tashkurgan County, or you can apply at the police station where your household registration book belongs in advance, otherwise you may have to queue up for a long time when you go to the local area to apply again.

14. Insurance: Because accidents and diseases may happen at any time during the trip, especially when going to special areas to carry out special activities, such as mountain climbing, desert crossing, hiking on ancient roads, etc., even if you are physically strong and agile, it is best to have relevant insurance before traveling.

15. If there is an opportunity, it is recommended to ride a horse.

matters need attention

There is a duty-free shop on the border between China and Kazakhstan at Horgos Port. Friends who like to chop hands are missed. There are goods from Central Asia and European countries. For ladies who like to buy cosmetics, this is your paradise.

Xinjiang is not as big as most people can imagine, and there are also great differences in scenery and culture. There is definitely no unified answer to the best route. It depends on how many days of vacation you have and what you want to focus on. You can only say that choosing a route that suits you best is the best. Generally speaking, Xinjiang is suitable for go on road trip, or chartered cars with drivers, so that you can go to more places. It is almost impossible to visit Xinjiang by public transportation. Let's talk about Han Lao's two-week trip to the Northern Xinjiang Ring Road. The scenery is beautiful and impressive.

Urumqi-Wucaiwan-Gurbantonggut Desert-Erqisida Canyon-Brzin-Hemu Village-Kanas Lake-Baihaba Village-Rainbow Beach-Urhe ghost city-Sailimu Lake-Horgos-Huiyuan Ancient City-Nalati-Bayinbuluke-Urumqi;

Starting from Urumqi, all the way is not too slow, and you can catch the invincible scenery of Xinjiang in a leisurely way.

Colorful Bay, together with Rainbow Beach and ghost city, belongs to Yadan landform, which looks more beautiful and bright red in the sunset. It's just that one is a beach, and the other is similar to a canyon, with a different style. The Irtysh River in Irtysda Gorge is a river that flows from east to west, passes through Kazakhstan and Russia, and finally flows into the Arctic Ocean. Hemu village is said to be the last village of Tuwa people, all of which are cabins. The sunrise here is quite distinctive, and the morning sun will dye the fog above the village pink.

Kanas Lake is too famous. In recent years, there are stories of monsters haunting the lake. The scenic spot is too big, so you can only walk around by shuttle bus. From here, you can also go to the border village of Baihaba, and it is also good to walk around the boundary pillar. Sailimu Lake is dark blue in the sun, which is different from the emerald green of Kanas Lake, but the same thing is that there are stories of lake monsters flowing out. Anyway, it's over after listening, and people are more willing to believe something that doesn't exist.

Huiyuan ancient city used to be the center of Xinjiang, but now it is the border. Why? Just go and find out. Nalati and Bayinbuluke are both grasslands, one with ups and downs, and the other with Ma Pingchuan. The grassland beauty is not lost to any European country, but the difference is culture.

Finally, Han Lao should remind his friends to bring enough money. Tickets are very expensive along the way, especially in Kanas Grand Scenic Area. Tickets are set in sets, and the shuttle bus has to pay for the shuttle bus even on foot. Without more than 1,000 pieces, it is impossible to get down. Food in some scenic spots is expensive, too, but since I'm here, I'll be happy and eat less. It's time to lose weight, don't you think?
