Travel Tips from My Recent Trip to Ili

Dear Sisters 😾, I have just returned from a trip to Ili 🔥, and let me tell you, it was quite an adventure! 🆘 My heart still aches when I recall the pitfalls I encountered. 💔 I must share these insights with you, as they are the hard-earned lessons of my Ili travel experience! 😿

👗 Fashion Tips: After June, Xinjiang experiences long daylight hours, with the sun setting after 10 pm. The temperature difference between morning and evening is significant, so remember to pack warm clothing. During the day, when temperatures are high, opt for breezy and ethereal dresses (I recommend a red dress 💃🏻 or red pants with a white T-shirt), which are perfect for taking stunning photos! 📸

🚫 Ili Travel Pitfalls to Avoid:

• Visit the Xiata Ancient Road early in the morning to avoid the afternoon rains and ensure充足 time for exploration.
• For hiking enthusiasts, consider exploring the Kalajun Grassland, Xiata Ancient Road, and Qiongkushitai.
• Due to the significant temperature fluctuations and rapid weather changes in Ili during summer, bring a windbreaker.
• The Tianma Bathing River performance is timed, and it is only staged when there are many tourists, typically around 6 pm each day.
• Remember to carry cash as some areas in Ili may have limited or no signal.
