⚠ Warm Tips
Southern Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night. From late September to early October, daytime temperatures are about 15–22°C, and nighttime temperatures can drop to 0–5°C, so windproof and warm clothing should be prepared.
UV radiation is strong in plateau areas, so pay attention to sun protection; some travelers may experience mild altitude sickness, and it is recommended to bring commonly used medications.
Signals are weak in border areas, and some road sections have no network coverage, so it is recommended to download offline maps in advance.
All itinerary nodes, opening status, and access conditions may change due to policies, weather, or temporary service guidance. The travel agency will communicate and confirm with travelers before departure and reasonably optimize the itinerary based on mutual agreement.
Autumn in Southern Xinjiang is an immersive journey of color, history, and the vastness of heaven and earth.
