Urumqi Weather in April

In the daytime, a thin sweater plus a wind coat or a jacket are enough. The temperature drops sharply at night, so you should wear a cotton wadded jacket or a thin woolen coat when going outside.In the cool weather with good air quality, outdoor activities are recommended. Having a spring outing in Urumqi Botanical Garden is a good option. There you can appreciate beautiful flowers and breathe the fresh air. More than 30 species of rare endangered plants grow there. Peach flowers, wild apricot flowers, and forsythia flowers come into bloom early. In late April, visitors can admire tulips, irises, roses, hyacinths and others.

Later you can visit Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, which is the biggest bazaar in the world. The bazaar is the gathering place and exhibition center of Xinjiang tourism products, which reproduces the commercial prosperity of the ancient Silk Road. There tourists can climb to the top of the 80-meter-high (262 feet) sightseeing tower to overlook the whole bazaar, or watch song and dance performances while eating delicious food in opera theater. From national handicrafts, daily necessities to special snacks, you can buy almost everything you want.
 Urumqi is located at high altitude, though the climate is cool, the sunlight is strong and the ultraviolet radiation is intensive; therefore, you should take sunscreen, sun clothing, sun hat and sunglasses to protect your skin. Some scenic spots are far away from downtown area, and you can rent a car to go there. A variety of flowers are blooming in this month, hence you should be aware of pollen allergy. In addition, you are advised to avoid Qingming Festival holiday at the beginning of April, for fear that scenic spots are crowded with visitors.
