Just returned from Xinjiang! Allow me to share my experiences and pitfalls to avoid, so that you don’t have to tread the same path. The charm of Xinjiang’s tourism is simply overwhelming! 😒 Here’s a glimpse into my honest thoughts, along with travel hacks, culinary highlights, scenic spots, and recommended itineraries. I sincerely hope that all my sisters planning a trip to Xinjiang in May-July will stumble upon this! 🚩

Self-drive or Group Tour? Given the vast distances and dispersed nature of attractions in Xinjiang, self-driving can be quite exhausting. Instead, opting for a small group tour with fellow young travelers offers more freedom and convenience. Large group tours are not recommended as they often involve long waiting times and limited flexibility to stop and enjoy the scenic views.
