How to Plan Your Xinjiang Tour?
- What’s the best time to visit Xinjiang?
Generally, the best months to visit Xinjiang are August, September, and October.
Xinjiang is divided into the northern part and southern part by the Tianshan Mountains, and the two parts enjoy a little different attractions and weather.
April to October are great to visit South Xinjiang (like Kashgar, Hetian, and Aksu, etc.) which features a large area of barren desert and brilliant cultural sites. While in North Xinjiang, which features basin geography and vast grasslands is great, the scenery show different beauty in different seasons.
- How many days to spend in Xinjiang?
Usually, 1-2 weeks is suggested for a Xinjiang tour, depending on your interest and itinerary. Xinjiang is vast, you need more time to shuttle from city to city by flight, train, or car. 1-2 weeks allows you to cover the highlights of both Southern and Northern Xinjiang from Urumqi to Turpan, Kashgar, Kanas, Ili, Bayanbulak…
If you have 5 days or less, a Xinjiang tour package with Turpan, Urumqi, and Kashgar is recommended; if you have 14+ days available, you can also extend your Xinjiang to any China trips, especially the nearby destinations along ancient Silk Road, like Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xi’an, etc.
- Where to go and what to do in Xinjiang?
In South Xinjiang, the top destinations include Kashgar, Korla, Hotan, Aksu, etc; while in North Xinjing, the top destinations are Urumqi, Turpan, Ili, and Altay (with Kanas), etc.
The vast Xinjiang boasts so many things to do: sightseeing (Heavenly Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, grassland in Ili, etc.), hiking, photography, visiting grand bazaars, enjoying desert scenery (Yardang landform), tasting tasty food and juicy fruit, exploring ancient towns, ruins, and architectures, etc.

Great tour! A bus was on time to pick us up from our hotel and drove us to each destination. Noble was our tour guide and he not only provided information on each attraction, but was also able to answer any questions we had (we had a lot!).

I have had a wonderful day trip to Xi'an from Shanghai, all arranged by China Xi'an Tour including hotel pick up and transfer back, flights and lunch. My guide named Mr. Coffee took us to terracotta warriors, ancient city wall, halal food lunch and muslim street, all was great. Thank you China Xi'an Tour.

Ms. Grace (travel consultant) was very helpful in arranging the best trip for me and my family in Xi'an. The tour guide, Mr. Joe and the driver too were both very friendly and helpful to us. As we are travelling with 2 young children. Both of them were very patient (i.e. we can't walk too fast, we need to use baby stroller etc). Definitely will recommend them to friends.

The tour guide assign to us was very knowledgeable on the history of the places that we had visited and that was very important to us as this trip was mainly to expose our 2 boys to appreciate the Chinese history.
