- The temperature difference between morning and evening in Xinjiang is relatively large, reaching about 10-15 degrees Celsius, so windproof and warm clothing such as windbreakers or anoraks must be brought.
- Due to the vastness of Xinjiang and the long travel times by car, tourists often need to get off and walk to experience things firsthand, so having a pair of suitable shoes is particularly important.
- Xinjiang has low temperatures, and many areas are at high altitudes with strong ultraviolet radiation. Tourists should prepare sufficient and effective skincare products and sunscreens.
- Due to the long journey and significant climate differences, travelers may find it difficult to adapt and might experience acclimatization sickness. Therefore, they should carry relevant medications and some common remedies, such as band-aids, motion sickness pills, cold medicine, or medication for gastrointestinal discomfort.
- Due to Xinjiang's climatic characteristics, which are typical of a continental arid climate with large temperature differences between morning and evening, the air conditioning should be set to a moderate temperature when sleeping at night, not too cold.
- Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region with strong religious overtones. Ethnic groups that believe in Islam do not eat pork, among other things, which is the biggest taboo in their lives. Tourists are requested to respect the customs and habits of ethnic minorities to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
- Xinjiang is the home of fruits, and eating fruits in Xinjiang is a great pleasure. However, be sure not to drink hot tea immediately after eating fruits, to avoid causing diarrhea.
- Xinjiang's specialty cuisine is mainly based on pasta and beef and mutton, and the overall taste of the dishes is slightly heavy, but it is very worth trying. If you have any dietary restrictions regarding beef and mutton, please inform your tour guide in advance so that appropriate arrangements can be made. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
- Horse riding is a relatively dangerous recreational activity, so please pay attention to safety.
