Reverse Tourism | Head to Xinjiang in May, don't wait until June when it's crowded

Every June, Xinjiang is incredibly beautiful, but also incredibly crowded. If you want to avoid the crowds, opt for traveling in May. Fewer people, more beautiful scenery, and an enhanced experience up up up! At that time, the grasslands are covered in fresh green, with little wildflowers dotted around, and the distant snow-capped mountains still stand tall, not yet melted. During this period, Xinjiang has few tourists, and every day feels like being in a fairy tale world, with a travel experience far surpassing the peak months of July and August. ⭐ Must-visit attractions: 🌲 Qiaxi Forest Park: The beauty of the south of the Great Wall is in Yili, and the most beautiful scenery is in Qiaxi. The snow-covered Tianshan Mountains, scattered spruce trees, and the ground full of little yellow flowers. 🌊 Sayram Lake: In Yili, there are endless forests and grasslands, making Sayram Lake exceptionally precious. 🏜️ Kumtag Desert: It's like traveling back to the ancient Western Regions. April-May is the best time for desert tours! 🖼️ Nalati Grassland: The endless green carpet stretches to the horizon, the spruce trees halfway up the mountain are like the forests of Norway, the Kazakh yurts at the foot of the snow mountains, and the melting snow water crossing the grasslands is flowing. 🌄 Anjihai Grand Canyon: The fissures of the earth, with the lush Tianshan Mountains in the distance. 👗 Weather and Clothing 🐧 Most of Xinjiang is sunny, with temperatures around 20 degrees during the day and around 10 degrees at night in May. 🐧 Be sure to bring a trench coat, a fleece jacket (there is a big temperature difference between day and night, and the temperature changes a lot in scenic areas, it might rain or snow) 🐧 You can also bring a hat➕scarf➕sunglasses. Choose flat, comfortable shoes that are good for walking. ⭐ Practical tips: ✅ The attractions in Xinjiang are far apart, and you will stay in cities/towns near the attractions, changing hotels every night. Be sure to check your belongings when checking out. ✅ Bring a thermos, neck pillow, power bank, headphones, ID card. Keep some snacks in the car. ✅ Long car journeys in Xinjiang are a drawback, so download music and maps in advance, carry a small amount of cash for emergencies. ✈ 8-Day Classic Itinerary in Yili 🔸day1: Warm home - Urumqi 🔸day2: Urumqi - Sayram Lake - Lavender Farm - Yining 🔸day3: Yining - In-depth tour of Shata Ancient Trail - Tekes 🔸day4: Tekes - Qiongkushitai - Tekes 🔸day5: Tekes - Kuerdening - Xinyuan 🔸day6: Xinyuan - Nalati Sky Grassland - Gongnaisi Forest Farm - Bayanbulak 🔸day7: Bayanbulak - Hejing - Gangu Scenery - Salt Lake - Urumqi 🔸day8: Urumqi - Warm home
