【Weather and outfit for January-February】
🌡 Indoor tour: 25~28°C (heating)
🌡 Outdoor tour: -10°C~-30°C
❄️ Keeping warm is important!! Dress stylishly on the outside, keep warm on the inside (fleece vests, down jackets, small vests are all good)
❄️ Waterproof snow boots, high boots (once your feet are cold, your whole body will be cold, so you can buy foot warmers)
❄️ Scarves, hats, the fluffier the better (for warmth and photos) Bright colored clothes like red, orange, yellow (very photogenic and great for photos)
❗️❗️About joining a tour group
Unless you have rich self-driving experience, I suggest you join a tour group directly! The distance between each scenic spot in Xinjiang is hundreds of kilometers, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Self-driving is not only tiring but also a bit dangerous. Besides considering the route planning, you have to book hotels, find places to refuel, and consider meals or ticket issues, it's really stressful! This team is really warm-hearted, great!

Tour TIPS
① The outdoor temperature on the mountain in winter is low, -18~-30°C, wear as thick as you can, bring a thermos, and prepare more warmers~
② Kanas and Hemu may be closed due to heavy snow, so don't make your schedule too tight~
③ Be sure to wear soft-soled anti-skid shoes! Prepare sunglasses, the sun is very dazzling when it's good, it can cause snow blindness.
