"Gan": Xinjiang is located in the middle of Eurasia. Its geographical location determines that the water vapor in the ocean is difficult to reach, and Urumqi is the farthest city from the ocean in the world. Therefore, the climate in Xinjiang is generally dry and the air humidity is low. Friends on the east coast are really a little difficult to adapt to. Therefore, when traveling to Xinjiang, we must do a good job of hydrating and moisturizing. If you want to go to friends in Hotan area and Taklimakan desert area, you should take measures to prevent wind and sand. kumtag desert

Which way is suitable for traveling to Xinjiang?
touring party
Xinjiang is very suitable for group tours. Because it is more convenient to travel with a group, there are many scenic spots in Xinjiang, and the tour guide will show you the scenic spots in a deeper and more comprehensive way. You can also get in touch with local people through tour guides and experience the real Xinjiang customs in depth.
be self-drive
Travel time is free, you don't have to catch the bus every day, you can stop at any time to see the beautiful scenery on the road. More than13 of Xinjiang's tourism expenses are spent on transportation, and Xinjiang's expressway charges are not high, which can save a lot of money. If you are tired, you can rest in the car.
accompany
Xinjiang is a place that is not suitable for a person to travel. If you want to eat well and eat all kinds of delicious food in Xinjiang, you'd better have company. In some places in Xinjiang, public transportation is underdeveloped, so chartered cars are the only way. Moreover, the company can share the transportation cost equally and reduce the transportation cost. Of course, traveling together is safer.
Is it safe to go to Xinjiang?
Many people's bad impression of Xinjiang stems from an incident that happened a few years ago. But generally, except for a few bad guys who want to make money, there are many donkey friends along the way. Most of our compatriots in Xinjiang are still very hospitable and simple, especially in southern Xinjiang, which is really not as terrible as everyone thinks.
In Xinjiang, no matter where you go, even to supermarkets and markets, you have to go through security check. Railway stations and bus stations even have three or four security checkpoints, and basically every street will have a police station, so it is very safe in Xinjiang. When in trouble, the police uncle often comes to help.
What ethnic minorities are there in Xinjiang?
There are many ethnic groups in Xinjiang, with as many local ethnic minorities as 12. The most important ethnic minorities are Uighurs and Kazaks. Generally speaking, Uighurs are distributed in western Xinjiang, including Kashgar, Hotan, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture and Aksu, and Turpan in eastern Xinjiang. Kazakhs are concentrated in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in northern Xinjiang. The Han nationality is mainly distributed in the east and north of Xinjiang (especially in northern Xinjiang, where most of them are Han nationality), including Urumqi, Karamay, Hami and other northeastern regions. Race is a sensitive topic. As tourists, they need to understand and respect the cultural and customs differences between some different ethnic groups.
Will there be no language exchange in Xinjiang?
In the big cities of Xinjiang, it is basically no problem to communicate in Chinese, but some ethnic autonomous prefectures in northern Xinjiang may encounter language barriers. You should speak Chinese as slowly as possible when you meet ethnic minorities. In southern Xinjiang, the language problem is more prominent. Few adults can speak fluent Chinese except ticket sellers in scenic spots and cashiers in shops. So when asking for directions and shopping, try to type with your mobile phone or write on paper for the other party to see. If the other person doesn't understand, you can try to ask the children, because Xinjiang is basically bilingual now, and many children know some basic Chinese.
How is the mobile phone network in Xinjiang?
Major cities and some counties in Xinjiang have access to the Internet. Most high-end hotels can provide Internet services. However, it is very difficult to get online in tourist attractions or some small places, and the internet speed is generally not fast. Because of the need of national defense, in order to prevent some foreign separatist forces and terrorist information from being introduced into Xinjiang, Xinjiang has completely shut down 4G networks and slowed down 3G networks since 2006. So in Xinjiang, in many cases, only 2G signals or 3G signals are lucky. The internet speed is slow, and some scenic spots even have no signal at all. Please remember to clarify the situation with your family, keep in touch, report safety in time, and avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.
