When is the best time to travel to Xinjiang? When do you want to travel to Xinjiang?

Many people ask me when is the best time to travel to Xinjiang. My answer is that all the year round is the best time to travel in Xinjiang, and different seasons allow you to enjoy different Xinjiang. According to the most popular saying, the best time to travel in Xinjiang is July, August and September. At this time, the grassland in Xinjiang is full of flowers, green grass is faint, melons and fruits are mature and the price is very cheap. What is more important than these two points for tourists from afar? Of course, this time is also the peak season for tourism in Xinjiang. There are many guests, hotels are difficult to book, and air tickets are less discounted. If you want to have fun and save a lot of money, it is wise to avoid the peak season. May and June are the beginning of summer tourism in Xinjiang. Xinjiang in May seems a little quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the peak season. Friends who like quiet can choose this time to come to Xinjiang. May is the mature season of Turpan mulberries, and June is the season when more than 20,000 mu of lavender in Yili Valley fluctuates with the wind, purple flowers bloom and the fragrance is attractive. It is worth mentioning that June is the most beautiful and shortest spring in Kanas. 10 is the end of summer tourism in Xinjiang. The fruits and vegetables are still sweet and the climate is pleasant. It is the most beautiful autumn in Kanas. 1 1 month is not a busy month for travel agencies and hotels in Xinjiang, but also a watershed for summer tourism and winter tourism in Xinjiang. 1 1 month to April of the following year is winter in Xinjiang. In recent years, winter tourism in Xinjiang has gradually formed a scale, mainly including Kanas ice and snow tour, Tianshan Tianchi ice and snow tour, Kashgar folk tour and so on. In addition, Xinjiang in the long winter is a paradise for outdoor sports enthusiasts such as skiing, skating and desert hiking.

May ~ 10 is the peak tourist season in Xinjiang, and the best tourist seasons are July, August and September.

Xinjiang is far away from the ocean, surrounded by mountains, and marine moisture is not easy to enter, forming an obvious continental climate. The temperature changes greatly, the sunshine time is long (the annual sunshine time is 2500 ~ 3500 hours), the precipitation is less and the air is dry. Generally speaking, the winter temperature in northern Xinjiang is higher than that in southern Xinjiang, and the summer temperature in southern Xinjiang is higher than that in northern Xinjiang.

In Leng Yue (65438+1October), the average temperature in Junggar basin is below minus 20℃, and the absolute minimum temperature in Fuyun county on the northern edge of the basin reaches minus 50. 15℃, which is one of the coldest areas in China.

In the hottest month (July), the average temperature in Turpan, known as "Huozhou", was above 33℃, and the absolute maximum temperature reached 49.6℃, ranking first in the country. Due to the great temperature difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter in most parts of Xinjiang, there has always been a saying that "wear leather clothes at noon and eat watermelon around the stove". The climate in Xinjiang will also have a direct impact on travel.

"Tianshan five In the snow, no flowers and cold"; "The north wind breaks the grass, and eight In the snow crosses the Tatar sky." Xinjiang is absolutely cold.

"September is still sweating, and the wind blows sand"; "The volcano should be hotter in June, and pedestrians at Chiting intersection are absolutely deserted." Xinjiang is also hot enough.

There are always several cold waves in Xinjiang in winter, and the average temperature in the coldest month of 65438+ 10 in Junggar basin is around-16℃. It snows in northern Xinjiang. The deepest snowfall in Altay forest region, Tacheng and Ili Valley in winter and spring can reach more than 1 m, and the high temperature of-40 to-50℃ also occurs from time to time. Even the temperature in Urumqi will drop to minus 15℃. The national highway has also become an icy road, and vehicles must use snow chains. On the day when dripping water turns into ice, there are no flowers, no green grass, no fresh fruit and no bright dresses. At this time, you can't go to many places except South Xinjiang, playing with ice and snow in the scenery of the north or exploring with a horse-drawn sledge. So from the end of 10, the whole of Xinjiang has entered a long off-season until next May.

Xinjiang lives in the deep inland, and the surrounding mountains block the water vapor from the ocean, forming a typical temperate continental arid climate. It is hot in Leng Xia in winter, long in winter and short in summer, which are the most remarkable features of Xinjiang's climate.

The winter in Xinjiang can be summed up in two sentences: "There are five In the snow in Tianshan Mountain, and no flowers are cold", "The north wind rolls white grass, and eight In the snow crosses Tatar Day". When the cold wave crosses the border, Xinjiang will experience multiple cooling, and then the whole northern Xinjiang will become a vast expanse of white.

The winter in Xinjiang is also long, from June 10 to April of the following year, Xinjiang is shrouded in a cold winter.

Summer in Xinjiang is the other extreme. "It is still sweaty in September, and the wind blows sand" and "The volcano should be hotter in June, and pedestrians at Chiting intersection will die" are the true portrayal of summer in Xinjiang. The heat in July and August in southern Xinjiang is unbearable. The average temperature in Turpan is around 40 degrees Celsius, and the surface temperature is recorded above 70 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, the climate in Xinjiang is dry, not as stuffy as several stoves in the south. The weather is uncomfortably wet. It is very important to replenish water when traveling in Xinjiang. Fresh and cheap fruit is your best choice. Don't forget to take some with you anytime. There is little rain in Xinjiang, and the sky is clear in Wan Li in summer, so summer has become a place where fruits and vegetables are fragrant.
