This is not Switzerland, it's Xinjiang, China

Xinjiang is truly beautiful, definitely worth the trip~ Let me share my Xinjiang travel guide with you all 🌟Day 1 📍Yining Gathering (You can stroll and eat along Liuxing Street, the yogurt shaved ice is a must-try!) 🌟Day 2 📍Sayram Lake - Huanghuang Village (Mr. Sa didn’t lie to me, Sayram Lake is really stunning. Be sure to visit Pine Head and Swan Lake. I was lucky to see swans. 👗 I recommend wearing blue or white clothes at Sayram Lake for better photos!) Huanghuang Village ~ the whole village is filled with the scent of lavender. There are many dopamine shops worth visiting. 🏠 Stayed at a homestay inside Huanghuang Village. I recommend dining at a place called Manyu Wildflower Garden Restaurant! It was delicious, we cleared all the plates. 🌟Day 3 📍Nalati As beautiful as an oil painting🖼️! Main recommendations: 1️⃣ Sky Grassland You can directly locate the Nomad’s Home, get off and walk to the famous bridge photo spot. 2️⃣ Panlong Ancient Trail The scenery is stunning and you can watch the sunset🌄. The hills are full of cattle and sheep, just like a scene from a Studio Ghibli animation. 🏠 Stayed in Xinyuan County 🌟Day 4 📍Kuerdening 1️⃣ Sky Grassland Stream At the entrance of Borui Camp, a large and rapid stream. No need to squeeze with crowds at Nalati anymore. 2️⃣ Heidi and Grandpa This small wooden house is on the way to Qimengde Viewing Platform (you can also hug some lambs~) 🏠 Stayed at a hotel in Zhaosu County, convenient for going to Shata the next day 🌟Day 5 📍Shata 📷 Main recommended photo spots: 1️⃣ Walk to Flower Terrace for photos You can ride horses and take pictures, also capture the snowy mountains. 2️⃣ House No. 2 Great for shooting the dry land scallions. 🏠 Stayed at a hotel in Tekes County, convenient for going to Qiongkushitai the next day 🌟Day 6 📍Qiongkushitai Recommended spots: 1️⃣ Wusun Ancient Trail Pass through Qiongkushitai village, follow the stream through the forest, with snowy mountains and grasslands in the distance. This scenery really caught my eye. 2️⃣ Back Mountain Navigate to “Yunhai Mountain Villa,” you can park at the entrance. At night, you can watch a beautiful sunset🌅 from the back mountain. 🏠 We stayed at Yunhai Mountain Villa, totally worth it. 💜💜 1️⃣ Xinjiang has a big temperature difference between morning and night. Wear a thick coat outside and a beautiful dress inside for great photos~ 2️⃣ Bring mosquito repellent, Xinjiang’s mosquitoes should not be underestimated. 3️⃣ Prepare sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, and an umbrella. The UV rays in Xinjiang are very strong. 4️⃣ Xinjiang’s attractions are quite spread out with long travel times. I suggest joining a small tour group for a more relaxed and better travel experience. 5️⃣ For clothing, bring some red, yellow, white, and blue colors for better photos.
