2) Due to the long route and long riding time of the Silk Road, in some scenic spots, such as Tianchi Tianchi, nanshan pasture and Mingsha Mountain, tourists need to get off and walk or experience the pleasure of riding horses or camels in person. Therefore, a pair of sports shoes that fit the foot is particularly important. Tourists should bring a pair of comfortable, fit and easy-to-walk shoes before departure, preferably flat shoes or soft-soled shoes.
3) The average temperature in the northwest is slightly lower than that in the mainland, but due to the high altitude in many areas of Xinjiang, the ultraviolet radiation is strong. In addition, in Turpan, the highest temperature in summer can reach more than 40 degrees, so tourists should prepare sufficient and effective sunscreen products and oily skin care products. At the same time, it is accompanied by drugs or granules that clear away heat, quench thirst and moisten dryness, such as Xiasangju granules, so as to avoid being unable to withstand too hot and dry climate for a while. Please pay more attention to drinking water and take a lip balm with you.
4) In silk tourism, due to the long distance and great climate difference, it is difficult for tourists to adapt for a while, and symptoms of acclimatization may appear. Xinjiang has long lines and scattered scenic spots. So it is easy to get tired after sitting for a long time. Please be prepared for hardship and pay attention to rest. Visitors should bring relevant medicines and some standing therapeutic medicines, such as band-AIDS, cold medicines and medicines for treating the stomach.
5) Because the climate in Xinjiang is a typical arid climate in the mainland, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so you should turn on the air conditioner moderately at night, not too cold.
6) As long as the diet in Xinjiang is mainly beef and mutton, there are few vegetables. The main characteristics are heavy, rich and greasy, which is determined by the monotonous life and unique geographical environment in desert areas. However, these foods are so hungry that mainlanders can't get used to them. You can prepare some food or gastrointestinal medicine to help digestion in advance. Xinjiang is the hometown of fruits, and eating fruits in Xinjiang is a great pleasure. In the season when melons and fruits are on the market, you can "replace tea with melons", which can not only replenish water, but also provide vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, but don't drink hot tea after eating fruits to avoid diarrhea.
7) Xinjiang is a minority area with strong religious color. People who believe in Islam don't eat pork, which is the biggest taboo in their lives. Absolutely inviolable. Therefore, tourists should be careful not to bring or eat pork food in Muslim restaurants, or openly talk about pigs and blood tofu, otherwise it will be extremely offensive.
8) Precautions for visiting Kanas: Kanas is a long journey. Because there is no suitable restaurant around, the team sometimes arranges lunch boxes, so tourists are required to bring their own drinks or snacks. There are sometimes power outages and no street lights in the lake area, so it is best to prepare a flashlight. Due to the short development time of local tourism, poor accommodation and catering conditions, accommodation can not provide standard rooms and showers, and catering is relatively simple, mostly ethnic fast food. Please be fully prepared!
9) Pay attention to the time difference: Xinjiang is located in the East Eighth District and Beijing is located in the East Sixth District. Xinjiang is two hours behind Beijing and other mainland cities, and tourism activities are generally arranged from 9: 00 to 20: 00. When you inquire about local ethnic minorities, you will usually be told the time in Xinjiang. Please be sure to find out.
10), long-distance travel in northern and southern Xinjiang, with charming scenery, but most areas are backward.
1 1), Xinjiang is rich in natural products, and ethnic minority native products and handicrafts are also famous. However, please note that local civil aviation and railways have an embargo on Uighur craft knives. When buying tourist souvenirs, local products and Chinese herbal medicines locally, you must choose dealers with good reputation and appropriate prices.
12), Xinjiang natives are used to calculating their weight in kilograms, please pay attention.
13), Xinjiang is a unique and complete ecological region, but it has become extremely fragile due to the continuous destruction for half a century. Moreover, the climate in Xinjiang is dry, and there are often strong winds. Even a little spark may cause forest fires. Therefore, in mountainous areas with dense forests and desert vegetation, it is absolutely forbidden to smoke or throw cigarette butts. Please cherish the masterpieces of nature, leaving nothing but footprints and taking nothing away except the lens. Digging holes in the grassland to destroy vegetation will cause the anger of herders.
Have a nice trip!
