I’m going to work in Xinjiang. I don’t know what it’s like there. What should I prepare and what should I pay attention to?

If you take a plane from Beijing to Xinjiang, it will take about 3 and a half hours. The plane will land at Urumqi Diwopu International Airport. Because Urumqi is the capital of Xinjiang, if you go to other parts of Xinjiang, you must also be there. Transfer at Wopu Airport. After the Olympics, the security inspection will not be as strict as before.

If you are in Urumqi, it will cost about 50 yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the city. The starting price is 6 yuan.

However, since mid-September, cold air has invaded recently. Therefore, if you work in Xinjiang, you should pay attention to keeping warm, because it is not generally cold here. But Beijing is also a northern city. The temperature difference in winter should not be very big. .It starts to snow around mid-November, so you should wear gloves, scarves, etc. As for the temperature, the coldest time every winter is about minus 20 degrees Celsius. The hottest is only about minus 10 degrees Celsius.

But this is the city farthest from the sea after all, so there will be some droughts. Be sure to drink more water. Girls especially need to take good care of their skin. It is best to use some hydrating skin care products when you first come here.

As for prices, prices in Xinjiang are rising. Buying things will be more expensive. But it’s not bad. There is not a big difference. So don’t worry about this.

If you are working .There should be allocated accommodation. If you want to stay in a hotel, there are many hotels in Urumqi. You just need to find a clean and comfortable one. There is no need to find a hotel with such good conditions as a five-star hotel. But I can say that Urumqi is the best. Good hotels include Hyde Hotel, Miramar Hotel, Hongfu Hotel, etc.

The rest are ethnic minorities. Because Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic province and city. Erdaoqiao and Yan'an Road are Urumqi The city is a gathering place for ethnic minorities. So you should pay attention to doing as the Romans do when you go to the countryside. Pay attention to their ethnic habits. They don’t eat big meat [i.e. pork] because they believe in Islam.

How thick are the clothes? Sweaters and down jackets .These are all necessary, as well as scarves, gloves and hats.

Hypoxia? Not really. This is neither Lhasa nor a plateau. The altitude is not high. You don’t have to worry about this.

As for getting sick, it is generally easier to catch a cold in winter. But this is because you wear very little clothes and it is not good enough to keep warm. Just be careful to wear more clothes. And don’t get hot and cold for a while. This is very dangerous. It is easy to catch colds and get sick. Don’t think that you should not wear a down jacket when the sun is shining in winter. You should always wear it in winter.
