[tips]: 1. Climate tips: There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Xinjiang. You can wear short sleeves, long pants, skirts and jackets from May to August. You need to bring a jacket or cotton-padded clothes from September to October. It is recommended to wear hiking shoes or travel shoes👟, which are comfortable and will not make you tired; 5. 2. Personal items: Please bring power bank, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, rain gear, personal toiletries, thermos cup (the water quality in Xinjiang is hard, so it is better to drink boiled water); 6. 3. Common items: It is recommended to bring cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, Band-Aids, mosquito repellent, wind oil, throat medicine, etc.; 4. Dietary tips: Most areas in Xinjiang have a heavy taste and like spicy food. Meat is mainly beef and mutton. Do not drink cold water immediately after eating meat to avoid diarrhea and other indigestion caused by gastrointestinal discomfort. You can bring some snacks with you in case of emergency; 5. Time difference: Xinjiang is two hours behind the mainland, so please adjust your biological clock; 6. Folk customs: Xinjiang is an area where ethnic minorities live in concentrated communities. Please respect local ethnic customs. 7. Mode of travel: You can choose a bus tour, but the bus tour is crowded and not flexible, and the time arrangement is unreasonable. You leave early and come back late, which is too tiring. Chartering a car is relatively flexible, but the cost is actually not cheap. The key is that driving by yourself is very tiring because Xinjiang is so big that you will have no energy to play after driving. If you don't want to make a travel guide, you can join a small local tour group with a driver who is also a tour guide. He will take you to the scenic spots and take photos. You just need to have fun.
