Find out how amazing Xinjiang is; it's worth waiting a year for Xinjiang in May

Sisters who want to travel to Xinjiang in May and June, come and see this~ I stayed up late to sort out this Xinjiang travel guide. Honestly, May to August is the best time to go to Yili. Spring is in the air, and the Qiasi and Kuerdening grasslands are already green. In May, you will see all the green scenery, as well as various small wildflowers. Taking pictures here is really great, trust me! If you want to take great photos and spend less money, go in May and June!!!! Air tickets will be ridiculously expensive during the summer vacation!! ☁Yili Weather Guide ⛅May Weather: The average temperature is 5°C~20°C ⛅June Weather: The average temperature is 15°C~25°C ⛅July Weather: The average temperature is 21°C~31°C ⚠Travel TIPS: In Xinjiang in the summer, it gets dark late, around 9–10pm, and it starts to get light at 7–8am. This means you have more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this land. 🚐[Why choose a group tour in Xinjiang?] 👯 2–6 person car club: No need to share a ride with strangers, stop and take photos as you please (the driver can accurately identify all the popular photo spots) 📸 The hidden services are amazing! Drones chase you to film running videos, SLR cameras directly output nine-square-grid photos for your WeChat Moments, and even photo editors are included. ⛵ While others are crowding the viewing platform at Sayram Lake, we are drinking the "Tears of the Atlantic" on a sailboat. The Nalati scenic area even has a VIP channel to avoid queuing! 👉Click below to unlock the highlights of your exclusive trip🔥 🐎 New ways to ride horses on the Nalati Grassland: Learn a few Kazakh phrases from the horseman, and you'll instantly transform into the heroine of "Heidi" when you whip your horse. Wild apple blossoms fall on your shoulders along the way. ⛰️ Kanas hiking surprise: Pass through the Taiga forest and encounter a Tuva wooden house. The owner will invite you to drink salty milk tea. Remember to say "Rakhmat" to thank them. 🌅 Limited sunset at 9:00 pm: Wait for a geological miracle color show at Wucaitan. The Danxia landform gradually changes from golden to rose red, which is more amazing than an eyeshadow palette. 📸 Popular photo spots: ① Sayram Lake S-bend + snow mountain reflection (rent the place at 8am to take photos) ② Hemu Village morning mist and cooking smoke (only available if you stay in a B&B in the scenic area) ③ Duku Highway cliff spot (hidden parking spot that only experienced drivers know) 🚩Urumqi Foodie Spots: 🔹Daidaide Jia Ge Mian: Spicy meat noodles. The noodles are chewy. This restaurant is very generous and has a lot of meat. It's quite crowded during meal times. 🔹Damo Hongzuiyan: Red-billed geese are a local specialty. They can be eaten in hot pot or made with a spicy and numbing flavor. It's very special and unforgettable! A must-try after landing~ 🔹Kaidi Rui Pilaf: The specialty is lamb neck pilaf. Sisters who haven't tried it must try it! Xinjiang specialty! 🔹Baoersake Breakfast House: Kazakh breakfast, which is also popular among locals. Baoersake is fried until crispy and can be added with various jams.
