I cried after returning from Xinjiang, a reminder for sisters planning to go to Xinjiang

👣There were so many people traveling to Xinjiang in July, and the queues were long. August has just started, and it's raining while queuing, which is quite frustrating😞. Although there will be fewer people in August compared to July✔️, it's really necessary to plan well before going. If you encounter rain and wind, and get cold on the road🥶, it can be really exasperating😡... 👉Those planning to go to Xinjiang can save this information. Checking it before departure will be really useful⭕. . 🌈Outfit Suggestions 1️⃣ A three-in-one jacket is highly recommended. You will need it in Xinjiang. Use the inner lining in the morning and evening, and remove it at noon. It's practical, saves space, and looks great in photos. 2️⃣ Bring a full-body sun-protective jacket. Put it on immediately after taking photos to avoid getting sunburned. 3️⃣ Comfortable walking shoes are essential. Martin boots are even better as there are many gravel roads. Also, bring an extra pair of slippers for the car; they are very comfortable! 4️⃣ You can buy some Uyghur headscarves, small hats, and vintage bags locally. They go well with everything! 5️⃣ A sun-rain umbrella is a must. It might be sunny for the first two days and then suddenly start raining. Be prepared😜. . 🍀Some truths about August ▪️In Ili, the temperature is around 25°C in August.
