As an “old Xinjiang hand” who has been deeply involved in Xinjiang tourism for over a decade, Wang Fei offers several practical suggestions:
👗 Dressing guide:
The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large. Even in summer, you need to bring a windbreaker or light down jacket. The Pamir Plateau has high altitude, so anti-altitude sickness medication is necessary. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are recommended.
📸 Photography tips:
The light at dawn and dusk is most beautiful at Kanas and Sayram Lake, so it’s recommended to secure your spot early. The scenery along the Duku Highway changes frequently, so bring a power bank and memory cards.
🍴 Food recommendations:
Turpan’s grapes, Kashgar’s roasted pigeon, Yining’s ice cream, and Urumqi’s baked buns are all authentic delicacies not to be missed.
