Clothing: Ili has a large temperature difference between day and night. Even in summer, daytime temperatures can exceed 25°C, but in the mountains or grasslands, nighttime temperatures can drop sharply to around 5°C. It is recommended to use "onion-style" dressing, i.e., base layer (quick-dry short or long sleeves, sun protection and sweat absorption), warm layer (fleece or thin down jacket), and protective layer (windproof and waterproof jacket or lightweight raincoat). Shoes should be non-slip and durable sports shoes or hiking shoes to avoid slipping in the rain or dew on the grassland. 2. Sun protection and moisturizing: Ili has strong ultraviolet rays, especially in high-altitude scenic spots where it is easy to get sunburned. Visitors should bring sunscreen (SPF50+), a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and carry moisturizing spray or lip balm.
