Apricot blossoms and mist | A thousand kinds of romance in southern Xinjiang in spring

| A thousand kinds of romance in southern Xinjiang in spring. 🌸 The apricot blossoms in southern Xinjiang are born lonely and brilliant. Unlike those in northern Xinjiang, which are accompanied by green grass, they take root between cliffs or nestle beside the rushing river valleys, blooming with intoxicating beauty on the cold land. ❌ Tips for appreciating apricots in Xinjiang: 1⃣ The second half of the Tasha Trail is a gravel road + cliff bend. Non-four-wheel drive vehicles are prone to getting stuck. It is recommended to charter a car or join a tour group 2⃣ There is no Mandarin service in the B&B in Tal Township. It is recommended to book through a travel agency, or stay in Tal County (3100m above sea level, including oxygen-supplied hotels). 3⃣Do not touch the Tajik headdress/eagle flute, and ask politely for portrait photography. - 🧳 Required documents before the trip: Border Pass (issued at any police station in Kashgar), mainland China ID card. Clothing: The temperature difference between day and night is 10℃+, so you need to prepare a windbreaker, a thin down jacket, and sunglasses. 💊Products: Glucose oral solution (to prevent altitude sickness), pain reliever 💊, sunscreen (strong ultraviolet rays). Others: Cash (some villages have no signal), garbage bags (to protect the environment).
