It is recommended to drink more water and eat fruits in small, frequent meals. In addition, please bring your own common medicines to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.
  2. Many places in Xinjiang are Muslim communities of various ethnic groups. When dining in any halal restaurant, be careful not to bring in non-beef or mutton food, do not drink alcohol, and try not to waste food.
  3. The distance between cities is long, and the scenic spots are scattered. Therefore, the driving time is long. Please be prepared to endure hardship, prepare motion sickness medicine, and most of the tourist vehicles are fully enclosed.
