Clothing suggestions:There is a large temperature difference between day and night in North Xinjiang, so bring a windbreaker and thermal underwear; South Xinjiang has strong ultraviolet rays, so sun protection measures are essential.
Photography equipment:Lighting in Kanas, Hemu, and other places is excellent, so a wide-angle lens is recommended; Nalati Grassland is suitable for telephoto lenses to photograph naturally growing animals.
Cultural respect:When visiting households of various ethnic groups, follow local customs and habits, and do not casually comment on folk culture or ethnic policies.
Road condition tips:Sections such as the Duku Highway and Panlong Ancient Road are subject to seasonal restrictions, so confirm their open status before traveling; some mountain road sections are gravel roads, so vehicles with higher chassis are recommended.
