This personally tested and practical guide will unlock the right way to experience Xinjiang~ Famous Attractions: Every Frame is a Wallpaper-Level Feast Northern Xinjiang: A Natural Palette - Sayram Lake: Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, known as the "Last Tear of the Atlantic," the lake water is so blue it looks like it's been filtered. Driving around the lake, the wind carries a refreshing coolness. In peak season, wildflowers carpet the landscape in vibrant colors—photos don't need editing at all! - Kanas + Hemu: The pinnacle of autumn colors in Northern Xinjiang! Kanas Lake is associated with the legend of a "lake monster," and its waters change from blue to green with the seasons. In Hemu, the smoke curls from the chimneys of small wooden houses, and the morning mist shrouds the snow-capped mountains, making you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale. The golden hues of autumn are breathtaking. - Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountains: Xinjiang's "landmark fairyland," where snow-capped peaks are reflected on the lake's surface. Take a boat trip to see Bogda Peak, hike the Mayashan Plank Road—every snapshot is a divine view. Perfect for family trips. Southern Xinjiang: A blend of culture and wonder - Kashgar Old City: A living, thousand-year-old ancient city of the Western Regions! Watch the opening ceremony in the morning, browse century-old handicraft workshops, and explore the Khan Bazaar food street at night. Even getting lost is fun; the rich exotic atmosphere will make you feel like you've traveled to Central Asia. - Pamir Tourist Area: The romance of the roof of the world! The glaciers of Muztagh Ata are dazzlingly white, the Stone City ruins hold stories of the Silk Road, and you can even dance the Eagle Flute Dance with the Tajik people and experience the warmth of the high plateau. - Kumtag Desert: A flowing desert spectacle! Walk barefoot on the sand, ride camels to watch the sunset, and witness the breathtaking changes in light and shadow on the dunes. For families, sandboarding is a must—kids will never want to leave! Must-Visit Hidden Gems - Bayinbuluke: The sunset over the wetland grassland is absolutely stunning! The winding river offers the spectacular sight of "nine suns" in the photos, and you might even encounter leisurely swans at Swan Lake. Horseback riding across the grassland is incredibly relaxing. - World Devil City: A filming location for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," the Yardang landforms resemble a natural sculpture gallery. At sunset, the light and shadow turn the rocks golden, and the wind howls through the sand, creating a truly atmospheric experience. Specialty Snacks: Eat from morning till night, weight doesn't matter! Sweetness to the Core - Bahali: The "Black Forest Cake" of Xinjiang desserts. The dark brown cake is filled with walnuts and raisins, baked with honey for a smooth and creamy texture. It's sweet without being cloying; a must-try at Minzhong Sweet Shop. - Yogurt Rice Dumplings: Sticky rice dumplings filled with thick yogurt and syrupy jam. Soft, chewy, and refreshingly cool, perfect for both summer and winter. A must-try at Bingrui Yogurt Rice Dumpling Shop. - Seasonal Fruits: Pomegranates, pears, and grapes are bursting with sweetness. You can't go wrong with any fruit stall you pick. Leftovers can be shipped home, fulfilling your "Xinjiang sweet freedom." Incredibly Spicy - Fried Rice Noodles: Xinjiang's "source of happiness." Each noodle is coated in a spicy red sauce, ranging from mild to extra spicy. Lingling Rice Noodles and Ah Zhen's flavors are a no-brainer. Perfect with naan bread and hot soup. - Big Plate Chicken: Firm and tender chicken, flavorful and spicy with chili peppers. When you're sweating from the heat, add a side of wide noodles. The noodles, soaked in the broth, are so delicious you'll want to stomp your feet. The reputation of Xue Zhan Big Plate Chicken is unwavering. - Spicy Lamb Trotters: The king of collagen! Stewed until tender and falling off the bone, coated in a spicy and savory sauce, each bite is sticky, chewy, and incredibly satisfying. Liangjun BBQ's lamb trotters are a must-order. Savory Delights - Naan: "Xinjiang's hard currency," you can't go three days without meat, but you can't go a day without naan! Wowo naan is bursting with wheat flavor, while onion naan and meat naan each have their own unique taste. Even if you have to queue for Abula's naan, it's incredibly filling—just grab one and enjoy it on the go. - Hand-pulled mutton: Xinjiang lambs "eat Chinese herbs and drink mineral water," so simply boiling it in salted water makes it incredibly fresh, tender, and juicy. At Xiangyue·Yangcun Xiaoguan, the hand-pulled mutton is a must-order; just a touch of salt and it's intoxicatingly delicious. - Salty Milk Tea: Brick tea + fresh milk + salt, topped with a layer of milk skin, it's silky smooth and savory. Pair it with naan for a warm and comforting breakfast—the authentic Jinshan Milk Tea House. Hardcore Dishes - Spicy Chicken: The joy of finding chicken pieces amidst piles of chilies is unparalleled! The smoky aroma of dried chilies permeates the chicken, spicy and numbing, best enjoyed with steamed buns. Chaiwobao Yulan Spicy Chicken is truly authentic. - Dried Meat Pilaf: The dried meat is savory and chewy, mixed with glistening rice. One bite and the aroma of meat and rice explodes. Xiyu Xia Ranch's dried meat pilaf is worth revisiting countless times. Local Customs and Traditions: Respecting Customs Doubles the Joy 1. Etiquette: Greet Uyghurs with "Yakshi," remove your shoes before entering a mosque, and women should wear headscarves. When visiting a Kazakh yurt, don't step on the threshold, and accept the milk tea offered by the host. 2. Cultural Experience: In Yili, you can stay in a Kazakh yurt, gaze at the stars, and listen to pastoral songs at night. In Kashgar's old city, you can watch artisans make pottery and weave carpets, and even learn a few simple Uyghur phrases – a truly immersive experience. 3. Taboos: Do not order pork or drink alcohol in halal restaurants; obtain permission from locals before taking photos, especially the elderly and children; do not touch ethnic minority clothing or religious items without authorization. 4. Border Permits: To travel to border areas such as the Pamir region, you must obtain a border permit in advance from your place of residence or Urumqi, otherwise you will have made a wasted trip. Practical Tips - Transportation: The distances between scenic spots are very far. It is recommended to hire a car or join a small group tour. If driving, pay attention to road conditions; some sections have strict speed limits, so don't speed. - Season: May to October is the best time to see grasslands and lakes in Northern Xinjiang; April to November is the best time for cultural and natural scenery in Southern Xinjiang; December to March is the best time for snow activities and to see blue ice. - Equipment: There is a large temperature difference between day and night, so bring a light jacket and a thick down jacket; the ultraviolet radiation is extremely strong, so sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential; choose comfortable sneakers for hiking and taking photos. - Cost of living: Prices are not high. Snacks range from a few yuan to tens of yuan, and a proper meal can be had for 50-100 yuan per person. Prices are slightly higher in tourist areas, so it's advisable to bring some snacks. The beauty of Xinjiang is breathtaking, beyond the reach of any camera lens; the flavors of Xinjiang are something you'll long for even after you've left. Are you ready to go?
