What are the popular tourist routes for the whole family to travel to Xinjiang?

When it comes to Xinjiang, many people subconsciously think of the prairie, but in fact, there are many other beautiful scenery, such as apricot flowers all over the mountain, lavender in full bloom, golden birch forest in autumn and ice and snow world in winter. When you come here, you will know what is beautiful. I have a college classmate who is from Xinjiang. At that time, listening to him describe his hometown to us made us look forward to it. After graduating from college, we organized a group to play here.

Line 1: Tour of Turpan

Huoyungu-Grape Valley-Huoyanshan-Kumutage Desert

Line 2: Ili Tour

Let's introduce these two lines in detail:

Line 1: Tour of Turpan

Features of the route: There are actually quite a lot of scenic spots in this route, but the Flame Mountain and the desert are my most recommended. The flaming mountain can satisfy your childhood curiosity, while the desert is something you can't see in your daily life. These rare ones must be punched in.

Brief introduction and personal experience: The Flame Mountain in Turpan, Xinjiang is the hottest place in China. The highest temperature in summer is as high as 46 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature on the ground is as high as 83 degrees Celsius. Eggs can be baked in the sand nest. The Uighur language is called "Qizil Tage", which means "Hongshan". Speaking of the Flame Mountain, I always wanted to go there, because I grew up with Journey to the West. I had done my homework before I went, but when I arrived, I found it was only half an hour hot. Really super hot! Extremely hot! We opened the door at 9 o'clock in the morning and went. When we saw the camels resting in the scenic spot, we didn't feel a little sorry for them, because at noon, the temperature can be as high as 45℃, and the camels bask in the sun without any shelter.

Brief introduction and personal experience: Kumutage Desert, the desert closest to the city. Here, I finally realized the magnificence of the famous poet Wang Wei's "Lonely smoke in the desert, long river setting the yen". It is said that the ancient city of Loulan is buried in the desert, and there are many places similar to Loulan in the desert, which seems to have crossed the ancient country of the western regions. Look at the natural curve formed on the sand mountain. The changeable lines are bright and dark but not deliberate.

Line 2: Ili Tour

Features of the route: This route can satisfy your initial impression of Xinjiang. You can see lakes, mountains and plains, and vast grasslands, but you must choose the right season to see the most beautiful scenic spots.

Brief introduction and personal experience: Sailimu Lake is located in the alpine basin of the western Tianshan Mountains in Bole City, Xinjiang. It is called "Serimuzal" in Mongolian, which means "the lake behind the mountain". Provincial-level tourist attractions, the fifth batch of national-level scenic spots, are the highest altitude, the largest area and the most beautiful alpine lakes in Xinjiang, and the last place protected by the warm and humid air currents in the Atlantic Ocean, so there is the saying "the last tear in the Atlantic Ocean". Sailimu Lake Scenic Area is a lake-type scenic area centered on Sailimu Lake, including beautiful forests and lakeside grasslands around the lake.

Brief introduction and personal experience: The world only knows Sailimu Lake, the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean, but doesn't know that there is a very small secret world in the depths of Yili, Tamboura Fairy Lake. Just hearing this name, my heart is already drunk. The mountains overlook the snow-capped mountains, the green hills are endless, the lush forests stand by and watch the lakes, and the green lakes surround a whole natural grassland pasture day. Flowers are everywhere, just like buying them.

Little suggestion:

1, Xinjiang is relatively dry, remember to drink plenty of water and do a good job of moisturizing.

2. There is a great temperature difference between morning and evening in Yili grassland. Remember to bring thick clothes.

3, Xinjiang is heavy, don't drink cold water immediately after eating, so as to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.

The number of hotels in Xinjiang is limited. If you want to go in the tourist season, remember to make a reservation in advance.
