The first thing to understand is the topography of Xinjiang. Terrain has the greatest influence on the environment and climate.
Xinjiang is surrounded by three mountains and two basins, with Altay Mountain in the north, Tianshan Mountain in the middle and Kunlun Mountain in the south. These three mountains are surrounded by two basins, Junggar Basin and Tarim Basin, as well as the two largest deserts in China, Taklimakan Desert in Tarim Basin and Gurbantunggut Desert in Junggar Basin.
Xinjiang is divided into southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang by Tianshan Mountain. The travel itinerary is basically 1, Zhungeer Basin in northern Xinjiang (blue range) 2, Ili River Valley+Turpan Ring Road (yellow line range) 3, Taklimakan Desert in southern Xinjiang (purple range) 4, Turpan, Shanshan, Hami, Rem, Qitai, Jimsar County, and
This kind of terrain in Xinjiang leads Xinjiang to live inland, far away from the ocean, surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult for humid marine air to enter, forming an extremely dry continental climate. The climate in Xinjiang has many characteristics, such as sunny days, strong sunshine, little rain, dryness, hot Leng Xia in winter, large temperature difference between day and night, and many sandstorms. This climate in Xinjiang is characterized by short spring and autumn and long summer and winter.
How to bring clothes when traveling to Xinjiang, we must first understand the climate characteristics of Xinjiang:
The most striking feature of Xinjiang's climate is "dryness". This dry climate in Xinjiang leads to a particularly large temperature difference between day and night and very little precipitation. It seems that I have experienced a change of hot and cold in one day. I still sweat with short sleeves during the day and sleep under the covers at night.
The second feature of Xinjiang's climate is Leng Xia fever in winter. In winter, due to the direct influence of Siberian cold air, there are always several cold waves that greatly cool down. A low temperature of minus 5 1.5 degrees occurred in Fuyun County, Altay region, setting a record for the lowest temperature in China. The temperature is high in summer, and its hottest degree is higher in southern Xinjiang than in northern Xinjiang. The most prominent is Turpan, the hottest month (July), with an average temperature of 40 degrees, ranking first in the country.
Adequate sunshine is also a major feature of Xinjiang's climate. The annual sunshine time in Xinjiang is between 2,550 and 3,500 hours, ranking among the best in all provinces in China.
Due to the numerous mountain passes and narrow passages, Xinjiang is prone to strong winds when cold air invades, which is also a feature of Xinjiang's climate. There are severe gale in spring and winter, and occasional gale in autumn and summer.
Knowing the above climate characteristics, Xinjiang's clothing should be: sun protection, central protection, wind protection, sand protection, rain protection and warmth. We classify clothes:
Summer clothes: short sleeves, shorts, long skirts and short skirts. Thin shirts, casual pants, quick-drying pants, sweat-wicking clothes (favorite of outdoor enthusiasts), sportswear, etc.
Spring and autumn clothes: long sleeves, sun protection clothes, single coats, casual long-sleeved underwear, quick-drying underwear, sports long sleeves, fleece underwear, sweat-wicking clothes, autumn pants, shrink down jackets or thin down jackets.
Winter clothes: composite charging underwear (charging+fleece liner or down liner, medium and long down jacket, mountaineering down jacket, down trousers, hard shell charging underwear, soft shell charging underwear).
Generally speaking, Junggar Basin in northern Xinjiang, Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, Jimunai County in Turpan, Xinjiang, Qitaileim County and Yili River Valley are all different. In the same month, the temperature in southern Xinjiang was higher than that in northern Xinjiang, and the sandstorm was bigger. The temperature in Shanshan, Turpan is higher than that in southern Xinjiang, and the sandstorm is less than that in southern Xinjiang. But the dust in Shanshan desert park is invisible, so we must pay attention to protect the camera lens.
Northern Xinjiang is surrounded by Zhungeer Basin, and cities can wear short-sleeved shorts or long skirts at the end of May-August. Polka dot shirts, casual trousers, quick-drying trousers (outdoor hobbies are all favorites), sportswear, etc. The temperature in the city is high, so it is necessary to wear sun protection clothes or thin coats in scenic spots or mountainous areas (coats are very practical clothes in Xinjiang, which can be used in coats+flannel or coats+down, which can simply prevent wind and rain, and can also be used with flannel or down to keep warm, so that a coat can be multifunctional).
Above, in most areas of northern Xinjiang, Karamay District and Wuerhe District of Karamay City have the highest temperature at the end of May-August, with a circular red circle and a white background, marked as a high temperature area, with a temperature difference of 3-5 degrees between day and night. Black circles and white backgrounds indicate that the temperature is normal during the day, slightly cooler at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Like Qinghe, Fuyun, Brzin and Habahe counties, there was no air conditioning in urban accommodation before tourism development. The area north of Tianshan Mountain has an orange round white background, and Wusu, Dushanzi Kuitun, Shihezi, Shawan and Changji are originally low-temperature cities, so you can wear normal short-sleeved summer clothes from May to August. In the scenic spots with yellow squares and black backgrounds, the temperature difference between May and August is large, so you should grab down jackets or thin down jackets. If it rains, it will be very cold during the day, such as Kanas, Harmony and Baihaba villages. In the morning, you can see both those wearing thin down jackets and those with short sleeves. Summer clothes+autumn clothes are recommended for tourism in northern Xinjiang from May to August. Urumqi is located at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is hot in summer and cold in winter, and the temperature is similar to that in Changji Shihezi, which is located at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain. The heating date in winter is 10, 15 (according to the weather, heating is about 7+00 every day), and the lowest temperature can reach about -50 degrees. The normal winter temperature is around-18 to -25 degrees, and it can be around -50 degrees in case of cold current. In mid-September, there may be snowfall in the mountainous areas of northern Xinjiang, but the snow will only stay for a short time. In the snow, the Bahakoto Sea in Kanas Mabai is even more charming under colorful colors. Autumn clothes are needed at this time, and summer clothes are basically useless. After the middle of 10 of 65438, autumn clothes and winter clothes are mainly used. The temperature has not yet reached the coldest time.
Ili Valley, located in the middle part of Tianshan Mountain, is one of the areas with the best temperature and climate in Xinjiang. The urban temperature in Ili Valley is not too high. For example, Zhaosu, Tex and Nilek need to cover themselves with thick quilts at night, and the air conditioning in hotels is relatively less. The temperature in Huocheng, Yining and xinyuan county is relatively high, but the temperature difference between day and night is not great. You can wear clothes in summer in cities, scenic spots, Guozigou scenic spot, Zhaosu Xiate scenic spot and Tekscalajun scenic spot. These scenic spots are all in mountainous areas, and urban weather forecast cannot be used in mountainous areas. It will rain for a short time from May to August, and it is difficult to meet the rain the next day. It is often in the morning or afternoon. There is no traditional rainy season in Xinjiang, so there is less rain, and there is relatively more rain in Yili Valley. Also pay attention to rain and sun protection, and you'd better have a spare sun-protective clothing with you. Bayinbuluke scenic spot may have short-term high reaction at a slightly higher altitude, and thunderstorms are mostly concentrated in the afternoon. After the rain, Bayinbuluke has nine twists and eighteen bays, and the scenery is even more beautiful. It may snow on the mountain in the scenic spot after mid-September, and it will end at 10, mainly in autumn clothes. 165438+ October is basically winter clothes. Bayinbuluke has a lot of mosquitoes during the day because it is a wetland park. Long-sleeved trousers are also recommended in summer, and long skirts are not recommended. They said there were mosquitoes in the skirt. The yellow square on the black background is the mountain in the scenic spot, and simple autumn clothes are needed in summer. The temperature will be lower when it rains. In a city with a light yellow round white background, the temperature difference between day and night is not big, and the temperature itself is low.
Around the Tarim Basin, the temperature is slightly higher in early May-65438+1October, and it happens in late March-April every year, which is also a good scenery with Xinghua in Turpan and Datong Township in Tashkurgan. The scenic cities around Huancheng Road are dominated by summer clothes, so you only need to prepare sun protection clothes and pay attention to wind, sand and sun protection. Tashkurgan County on the Pamirs is an exception. Because Zhaxi County is more than 3000 meters above sea level, the temperature in the scenic spot is summer during the day and slightly lower at night. When I arrived in Tashi County, the reaction was basically very high, but some were fast and some were slow. Around the Tarim Basin, there is less rain, but more dusty weather, especially in Pishan County. I used to be full of sand, and even if the car was well sealed, the dust could not be seen at all. The temperature of the east-west desert highway will be higher. The desert has high dust and strong ultraviolet rays. There are occasional bad weather in southern Xinjiang, which is basically the same as winning the lottery. In late June of 65438+ 10, basic summer clothes can be matched with autumn clothes, and Populus euphratica forests can be seen in southern Xinjiang, basically from the end of 65438+ 10 to the middle and late October. The weather is different every year, and the time is early and late, so it is enough to basically prepare autumn clothes at this time. Southern Xinjiang is basically red, so you don't need to prepare autumn clothes for Ta County, summer clothes are fine, and sun protection clothes must be available. Especially, the pavement temperature of desert highway can reach above 50 degrees, and the sole is too thin and very hot.
The above picture shows the route through Lop Nur, where the high temperature is basically concentrated. The temperature in Turpan and Shanshan County from May to September is summer clothes, and the most important thing is sun protection, central prevention and dehydration prevention. Because you can't feel sweating and the water has been lost, you must pay attention to hydrating, and it is best to use salt. You must feel that the air conditioning in the car is not very effective. I have seen a 75-degree thermometer in the Flame Mountain. Once, be sure to wear sunscreen and long-sleeved clothes or long-sleeved dresses. Turpan grape valley is the coolest. When you are in the grape valley, you may feel different from Turpan. April-10 normal summer clothes will do, and 1 10 autumn clothes will do. 65438+February 65438+1Winter clothes are needed in October and February. The temperature of Lop Nur Town Highway is high in July, basically on the saline-alkali shell.
The above picture shows the northern slope of East Tianshan Mountain, Hami, Yiwu, Barkun County, Rem, Qitai and Jimsar County, which are different from other temperatures. The daytime temperature is slightly lower than Shihezi and Manas counties, and it is cool at night. Normal summer clothes can be used from May to August, and autumn clothes are needed for overnight stay in scenic spots. Look at Populus euphratica forest after mid-September, and you can go straight to autumn clothes. In the late stage 10 middle stage, it is necessary to prepare early winter equipment.
Other equipment: regardless of season,
1. Sun hats, sand masks or scarves are all standing items, which are necessary all year round. You need a thread cap or a cotton cap in winter. Now the magic headscarf is also very easy to use, with good sun protection effect, and some also prevent ultraviolet rays.
2. Gloves look personal. If there are simple hiking or horseback riding activities during the trip, it is recommended to bring them.
3, multi-functional headscarf, standing outdoors, can be dust-proof and sun-proof, and can also cooperate with taking pictures.
4. The clothes inside are not recommended to be disposable. But when I arrived in Turpan, I couldn't find where he finally went. It is best to wear sweat-absorbent underwear, which is easy to clean and dry quickly.
5, umbrellas, raincoats for backup, umbrellas can prevent sun and rain, but the rain in Xinjiang is oblique, umbrellas are not as good as raincoats. Take a raincoat, two simple ones, disposable or plastic sheets. Another function of raincoats in Xinjiang is to keep warm. There are fewer clothes, and clothes have the function of keeping warm. At present, jackets have rainproof function and can replace raincoats.
6, footwear, it is recommended that summer sports shoes, upstream shoes, sports sandals, light hiking shoes, as well as rain-proof shoe covers, there are many online, if it is a simple hike, you can bring a snow cover. If you come in autumn and winter, it is recommended to use walking shoes from China or Gao Bang.
7. Polarizers or sunglasses are most suitable for driving or visiting scenic spots, and occasionally they can be used as camera filters (haha, this is for personal use, and professional filters are not recommended).
8, socks It is recommended to sweat socks or cotton socks outdoors, not girls' stockings, because stockings are sweaty and slippery.
9. Try not to wear contact lenses for myopia. It is more troublesome to clean up in dusty weather.
The most practical ones are large silk scarves and silk scarves, which can be used in all kinds of scenes, with various colors, light weight and many pieces. Can be matched with all kinds of clothes.
