🧡【tips】:
👇
1️⃣Xinjiang is dry! Don’t forget to bring body lotion and erythromycin ointment to prevent nosebleeds!
2️⃣Drink more water! Don't let the inland desert at night consume your water!
3️⃣There is a big temperature difference between morning and night, don’t forget to bring a thick coat!
4️⃣Just bring 1 or 2 pairs of shoes, Martin boots look great in photos!
5️⃣Don’t be afraid of the sun setting late, it’s okay to sleep until 8 or 9 o’clock and get up!
6️⃣Don’t take illegal taxis, regular cars are safer!
7️⃣Don’t drink water from Xinjiang, beware of constipation! It is recommended to buy mineral water!
We recommend some specialties like raisins, dates, dairy products and rose sacs!
When it comes to travel, it is recommended to choose a small tour group to save the trouble of shopping in stores.
