I waited a year just for the Xinjiang of May to July, here's an ultra-detailed guide!

Life is a wilderness, not a track, hearing a thousand times is not as good as seeing once. Here's a route reference
D1: From various places, arrive in Urumqi
D2: Urumqi—Sayram Lake—Guozigou Bridge—Ili
D3: Ili—Xia'ta—Tekes Hexagonal Town
D4: Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Gongliu
D5: Gongliu—Qiaxi—Nalati—Northern Section of Duku Highway—Kuqa
D6: Kuqa—Kashgar—Kashgar Old City
D7: Kashgar—Bai Sha Lake—Muztagh
D8: Kashgar—Turpan
D9: Turpan—Kumtag Desert—Urumqi
Precautions:
Remember to rent a car in advance on Ctrip or other reliable platforms before departure, it is recommended to place an order on the platform for security. (Insurance is a must because the distances between each scenic spot in Xinjiang are far, and the driving distance is long, in case of emergency)
Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, prepare 1-2 pieces of thick clothing.!
For the long self-driving journey, remember to go to the supermarket to purchase some food for when you get hungry on the road and to replenish energy.
Remember to bring your ID card and student ID, if you go to southern Xinjiang or some scenic spots in Kanas, you need to apply for a border pass, which can be done at a nearby police station.
Travel tips and outfit suggestions:
1. Remember to wear brightly colored clothes on the grasslands for better photos (such as yellow, pink, purple, etc.).
2. You must visit the pine trees at Sayram Lake, although it's tiring and you may want to give up many times, as long as you persist to the top you will find it's all worth it as you can overlook the entire panorama of Sayram Lake and Guozigou Bridge.
3. Bring some sunglasses and hats for sun protection and also as a fashionable item for better photos (girls can buy a triangular scarf to wear on their head for amazing photos).
ps: 'Northern Xinjiang for scenery, Southern Xinjiang for culture', the moment you arrive in Xinjiang, your story begins. Every moment is like a movie playing, the beauty of Xinjiang, no words in this world are enough to describe it.
