Xinjiang is a place that holds a special place in my heart. 🥰 Its beauty is indescribable, no matter how hard one tries to capture it in words. 👉 Having resided in this magnificent region for six years, I aim to provide a comprehensive travel guide for those visiting Xinjiang between May and July. 💯 This guide covers everything from transportation, accommodation, and recommended itineraries, so don’t miss out on this essential information! 🥰
🌦 Weather and Clothing Suggestions 👉 For May to June, temperatures range from 17-28°C, with mostly sunny ☀ and cloudy ☁ days. Recommended attire includes T-shirts, shorts, shirts, thin hoodies, and sports shoes. In July and August, temperatures hover around 21-31°C, with occasional rain ☔. Dress accordingly with T-shirts, shorts, sun protection clothing, and hats. PS: Xinjiang experiences significant temperature differences between day and night, so it’s advisable to carry a warm jacket for evenings and rainy days.
