Be sure to ask clearly before buying to avoid waste. ⚠️The mobile signal is weak in many scenic areas, so it is recommended to bring some cash. ⚠️Pay attention to the local customs explained by your driver/guide to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. ⚠️The weather in Xinjiang is dry with large temperature differences between day and night. Prepare a jacket and take precautions against heatstroke during the day. Be sure to drink plenty of water.
