Xinjiang in May: Life is truly wild

**Xinjiang | A visual feast through time and space** Here, the earth is a wild poet, writing magnificent poems with the most intense colors. Here, time is a flowing painting, from desert to snow-capped mountains, from grassland to lakes, every frame is breathtakingly beautiful. ### **Xinjiang, the Creator's most generous gift** 🏔️ **Tianshan Mountains**—A collision of ice and snow with grasslands, half a cold wonderland, half a gentle pasture. 🌊 **Sayram Lake**—"The last tear of the Atlantic Ocean," so blue it intoxicates, so still it takes your breath away. 🍂 **Kanas Lake**—A fairytale world in autumn, the lake water like emerald, the forest like flames, every glance a vision of paradise. 🏜️ **Taklamakan Desert**—A golden sand sea, boundless and vast, the sound of camel bells hiding the thousand-year-old legend of the Silk Road. 🌿 **Nalati Grassland**—Where the wind blows and the grass is low enough to see cattle and sheep, this is Xinjiang's "aerial grassland," and the place where dreams begin. ### **Xinjiang, an exotic carnival on the tip of your tongue** 🍢 **Kebabs**—Charcoal-grilled mutton skewers, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with an alluring aroma. 🍜 **Laghman**—Hand-pulled noodles, chewy and smooth, paired with a rich mutton broth, captivating with every bite. 🍇 **Grapes and Hami Melons**—Turpan's grapes are sweeter than honey, and Hami's melons are fragrant for miles. 🍵 **Milk Tea and Nang**—The soul-stirring combination of nomadic peoples, a bowl of savory milk tea and a freshly baked nang is the most authentic Xinjiang flavor. ### **Xinjiang, a symphony of diverse cultures** 🎶 **Kashgar Old City**—Walk into the maze-like streets and alleys, with earth-colored buildings and carved wooden doors, as if traveling back to the Western Regions of a thousand years ago. 💃 **Uyghur Song and Dance**—Passionate hand drums and agile dance moves, every performance is a celebration of life. 🐎 **The Seasonal Migration of Kazakh Herdsmen**—Hundreds of cattle and sheep migrate like a tide, the most spectacular scenery on the grassland. ### **Come to Xinjiang!** Here, you will encounter— 🌄 **The most magnificent sunrise**—At Bayinbuluke, watch the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns reflect the golden light. 🌌 **The most brilliant starry sky**—On the Pamir Plateau, the Milky Way is within reach. 🎨 **The most dazzling colors**—In the Ili River Valley, the purple of lavender, the yellow of rapeseed flowers, the green of grasslands… every glance is like an overturned palette. **Xinjiang is not a distant place, but a paradise that must be visited in this lifetime.** 🚗 **Set off, let your soul soar freely in the vast world!** 📅 **Best travel seasons**: - Spring/Summer (May–August): Grassland flower sea, Ili River Valley - Autumn (September–October): Kanas, Hemu golden autumn - Winter (November–March): Altay skiing, Sayram Lake blue ice ✨ **Xinjiang, waiting for you to explore!** ✨
