I am often asked, "What are the interesting places in Xinjiang?" "Is it appropriate to play for a few days?" "What scenic spots are worth visiting in Xinjiang?" Generally, these questions can't be finished in one or two sentences. At this time, I want to throw out a universal travel guide to him and say, "Look at this, there are answers to any questions, and ask me if you don't understand."
Xinjiang is a world-famous land of songs and dances, melons and fruits, and a land of gold and jade. Vast territory, vast territory and abundant resources, magnificent mountains and rivers, boundless sea, numerous historical sites and numerous nationalities. There are abundant tourism resources here. There are 68 kinds of tourism resources in China, while there are 56 kinds in Xinjiang, accounting for 83% of the national tourism resources. There are more than 1,1 scenic spots in Xinjiang, ranking first in the country.
Let's put it this way: the scenery in northern Xinjiang is more beautiful, and the culture in southern Xinjiang is more interesting. Xinjiang is bounded by Tianshan Mountains, so it is divided into northern and southern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang is north of Tianshan Mountain, and southern Xinjiang is south of Tianshan Mountain. Relatively speaking, there is a little abundant rain in northern Xinjiang, and the degree of desertification is not as serious as that in southern Xinjiang. The main travel destinations in northern Xinjiang generally refer to Tianchi, Turpan in Tianshan Mountain, Kumutage Desert in Shanshan, Ili, Lake Serimu, Kanas, Hemu and Cocoto Sea.
There are Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in China, the tenth largest desert in the world, the desert highway that many people want to cross, Populus euphratica forest in Tarim, the largest in Xinjiang, and Lop Nur, the most challenging no man's land. The place with the most national characteristics and humanity is Kashgar.
Sailimu Lake
If you don't reach Xinjiang, you don't know the size of China; if you don't reach Yili, you don't know the beauty of Xinjiang; if you don't reach Kashgar, you don't reach Xinjiang.
Therefore, it is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, which is probably the most advantageous place in Xinjiang. Because of its vast area, it has gathered many special landforms, including snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts and Kanas landforms, all kinds of sweet fruits, all kinds of delicious food and strong exotic customs. If you don't want to go abroad, Xinjiang is a good choice.
1. See the harmony and unity of valleys, peaks, deep canyons and forests in Nalati grassland
As soon as the sun came out, it kissed this grassland with the first ray of sunshine, so the ancestors of herders gave this land a poetic name: Nalati, which means: the place where the sun was first seen. Nalati grassland is one of the four largest alpine valley grasslands in the world. It integrates blue sky and white clouds, glacier snow peaks, forest grasslands and canyon rivers. It is the grassland with the most concentrated Kazakh population in the world. It was once rated as "the grassland with the largest Kazakh population" and "the grassland with the largest Kazakh yurts" by Guinness Headquarters of Shanghai World, and it is an "open-air museum" that reflects and displays the traditional living habits of Kazaks. April-June is the best flower viewing season in Nalati grassland. From the wild lily with ice blooming in early April to the golden lotus and sage in late June, all kinds of mountain flowers compete with each other. air grassland at this time is also known as the hanging garden; From July to September, the grassland is green, the sheep move like clouds, and the climate is very pleasant, which is a good place to escape the heat and enjoy the cool. From October to November, the Nalati grassland, where the Panlong Valley is colorful and the sky is high and the clouds are light, is an excellent time for photography; From December to March, the Nalati grassland is covered with silver and red willows are enchanting, which is very spectacular.

2. Go to Kanas to see the mysterious monster and the lake with changing colors
Kanas Scenic Area is located in the deep forest of Altay region, about 8 kilometers away from the capital Urumqi, including Kanas Lake Scenic Area, Hemu Village, Baihaba Village and other famous scenic spots. Kanas Lake is fascinated by mysterious lake monsters, changing colors of lake water and dazzling natural scenery. Hemu and Baihaba are villages where local Tuwa people gather, which are quite elegant in Swiss towns, just like fairyland on earth. This is one of the nine hiking routes in China, and it has become a paradise route in the eyes of domestic outdoor enthusiasts.
3. Settle in Hemu and Baihaba, the most beautiful village in China
-Genghis Khan's point platform is actually a naturally formed alpine meadow, which looks like a platform from a distance. It is said that Genghis Khan once reviewed 1, outstanding teachers here. -Standing on the podium, you can overlook the whole Hemu village, which is also the best location to shoot Hemu village. The best time to shoot is early morning. If you want to grab a good place, you have to go early. -You can ride a horse on the platform, and it has a special flavor. -On the former site of Dianjiangtai, the discovered cultural relics include the bronze armor of Genghis Khan's second general in the Western Expedition, which is very exquisite in workmanship and still looks shiny on the surface.
Baihaba village, known as the first village in the northwest and the first sentry in the northwest, is located on the border between China and Kazakhstan, only 1.5 kilometers away from East Silek, Kazakhstan, and is connected by national defense highway. This is a small village of Tuwa people. Because it is located in the border, the village has become the "first village in the northwest", the post on the edge of the village has become the "first whistle in the northwest", and even the shallow Baihaba River has become the "first river in the northwest". On the way to Baihaba, you will pass a "Panlong Road" and spiral along a deep canyon, which is opposite to Kazakhstan's territory. Although the national border is close at hand, Baihaba is quiet and carefree. It is known as one of the eight most beautiful towns in China. There are virgin forests, log huts, curling kitchen smoke, faint morning fog and generous but somewhat mysterious residents. They are isomorphic into a fairy tale kingdom. There is an old stump with a diameter of more than 1m in the north of the village, and the sign next to it says: "I forgot my age". Maybe whoever comes here will forget the passage of time.
4. A beautiful picture composed of snow-capped mountains, grasslands and blue lakes Sailimu Lake
Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains, with vast grasslands by the lake, and the lake is clear and blue, which has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Xinjiang because of its beautiful scenery.
