Can southerners have altitude sickness when they go to Xinjiang?

Southerners who go to Xinjiang generally don't have altitude sickness as long as they don't go to the cold areas such as Pamirs on the western border.

Altitude sickness, namely acute altitude sickness (AHAD), is a natural physiological reaction produced by human body to adapt to the changes of air pressure difference, low oxygen content and dry air caused by altitude. When the altitude reaches about 2700 meters, altitude sickness will occur. The mountains and basins in Xinjiang are staggered, and the basins are surrounded by mountains, which is called "three mountains and two basins". There are Altai Mountains in the north and Kunlun Mountains in the south. Tianshan Mountain is located in the middle of Xinjiang, which divides Xinjiang into two parts: Tarim Basin in the south and Junggar Basin in the north. It is customary to call the south of Tianshan Mountain South Xinjiang, the north of Tianshan Mountain North Xinjiang, and Hami and Turpan Basin East Xinjiang. Aiding Lake in Turpan, the lowest point in Xinjiang, is155m above sea level (also the lowest point on land in China). The highest point, Jogory Peak, is located on the Kashmir border, with an altitude of 86 1 1 m. The Gurbantunggut Desert in Xinjiang (46 degrees north latitude 16.8 minutes, 86 degrees 40.2 minutes east longitude) is the farthest place from the ocean on land, with a distance of 2648 kilometers (linear distance) from the nearest coastline.

The border between Xinjiang and Kyrgyzstan runs through the Tianshan Mountains. The port of Turgat (3,752 meters above sea level) is located on the border.

There are Altai Mountain in the north of Xinjiang, Kunlun Mountain, Altun Mountain and Tianshan Mountain in the south. As a symbol of Xinjiang, Tianshan Mountain runs through the central part, forming Tarim Basin in the south and Junggar Basin in the north.
