Wenquan County 3-Day Healing Trip♨️｜This Niche Gem in Xinjiang is Amazing!

I recently discovered a niche treasure spot in Xinjiang – Wenquan County! The hot springs and natural scenery here are simply a perfect match. You can explore it all in just 3 days, and it offers incredible value for money~ The locals are super friendly, and prices are great. Girls, just go for it!

🌟Day 1: First Encounter with Wenquan County
In the morning, head straight to Shengquan Scenic Area! The hot spring water here maintains a temperature of 40-60 degrees Celsius year-round and is rich in various minerals. A warm hot spring soak instantly relieves fatigue~ The scenic area also features several specialty hot spring pools (Opening hours: 9:00-22:00).

In the afternoon, visit Xinjiang Salamander Ecological Park, home to rare Xinjiang salamanders. The park isn't large, but its ecological environment is superb (Ticket: 40 RMB/person).

🌟Day 2: Nature Exploration Day
In the morning, drive to Bogedar Village to experience Kazakh ethnic customs (suggest wearing ethnic-style clothing for photos). During a herdsmen home visit, you can taste authentic milk tea and Baursak.

In the afternoon, hike the Bortala River Valley. The clear river water combined with the beautiful scenery on both banks makes every casual shot a stunning photo. Remember to bring mosquito repellent and sun protection gear!

🌟Day 3: Cultural Experience
In the morning, visit Wenquan County Museum (Free) to learn about local history and culture. In the afternoon, explore the food street in Wenquan County town. Be sure to try roasted buns (2 RMB each) and handmade yogurt (5 RMB per bowl)!

✨Tips:
1. The best travel season is May-October, when the weather is comfortable.
2. There are many accommodation options in the county town; you can stay comfortably for around 200 RMB.
3. Locals are very honest; there's no bargaining when buying things.
4. Remember to bring swimwear and slippers for the hot spring area.

🚗Transportation:
It's recommended to fly from Urumqi to Bole Airport (1.5 hours), then take a taxi to Wenquan County (1 hour). Alternatively, you can take an overnight bus directly from Urumqi (around 8 hours).

🍖Food Recommendations:
- Roasted Whole Lamb (280 RMB/kg)
- Hand-Pulled Rice (20 RMB/serving)
- Narin (25 RMB/serving)
- The local dried apricots and walnuts are also super delicious!
