🌈Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Xinjiang is July to October, when the weather is comfortable and the fruits are ripe. It's truly the golden season.
📸Must-Visit Attractions
• Sayram Lake: Known as the "last tear of the Atlantic," this lake is stunning with its deep blue sky, azure water, and silent snow-capped mountains. Take a photo with the sun shining on the lake, and you'll capture a perfect reflection.
• Kanas Lake: Known as the "back garden of the gods," this lake is picturesque all year round, with breathtaking views of the lake and mountains.
• Hemu Village: Known as "China's No. 1 Village," this village is a beautiful picture of wooden houses, birch forests, snow-capped mountains, and rivers.
• Nalati Grassland: A stunning combination of blue sky, white clouds, glaciers, snow-capped peaks, forests, grasslands, canyons, and rivers.
• Kashgar Old Town: Experience the customs of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang. The ancient streets and the Id Kah Mosque are must-see cultural attractions.
👗Outfit Suggestions
• Sayram Lake: Low-saturation, flowing clothes match the lake well, creating a fresh and fairy-like look.
• Nalati Grassland: Red, white, yellow, and blue clothes are the top 4 most photogenic colors. A simple one-piece dress is beautiful.
📷Photography Tips
• Sayram Lake: Drive around the lake to take in the beautiful scenery. The section from the south gate to Keleyongzhu is the best part of the lake, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Find the right angle to easily capture a beautiful reflection.
• Kanas Lake: The three bays are the most beautiful and photogenic spots in Kanas. At Moon Bay, you can walk to the lower level of the viewing platform and have your friend take a photo from above, avoiding the crowds.
🚗Transportation Tips
Xinjiang is vast, and the attractions are scattered. Renting a car or driving yourself is the best way to get around. Flying to Urumqi and then renting a car is a good option.
🔐Safety
Xinjiang is very safe now. Even if you're driving yourself, the routes are usually well-traveled, and the security along the way is good.
That's all for the ultimate Xinjiang travel guide. I hope you like it. Remember to like and save it! 🚗🌄📸
