Cultural respect:When visiting areas inhabited by various ethnic groups, dress appropriately, avoid stepping on thresholds or touching villagers’ headwear; obtain consent before photographing local people.
Health protection:In the summer of 2026, the average daily temperature in Southern Xinjiang is 30-38°C, so carry heatstroke prevention supplies such as Huoxiang Zhengqi water; ultraviolet rays are strong in desert areas, so it is recommended to wear sunglasses and a sun hat.
