Local Tips
Cash and mobile payments are widely used; English is rare, so basic Mandarin or translation apps are helpful. Carry local currency for small shops.

Crime rates are low but be cautious in crowded bazaar areas for pickpocketing. Some areas may be under increased surveillance; follow local laws and avoid political conversations.
Hidden Gems
Explore the outskirts for desert scenery and ancient ruins; the lesser-known Talim River park offers peaceful walks and birdwatching.
