Can You Drive a Sedan for a Self-Driving Tour in Xinjiang? The answer is yes. Here are some precautions for self-driving tours: Maintain a Good Driving Condition: Long-distance drivers must maintain good physical and mental conditions and ensure adequate sleep before driving. Wear Seat Belts: Not only the driver and front-seat passengers but also rear-seat passengers need to fasten their seat belts. If there are children under the age of twelve in the family, it is recommended to purchase child safety seats produced by reputable manufacturers. Driving in Rainy or Snowy Weather: Turn on the fog lights and width lights. Drive slowly, avoid overtaking casually in severe weather, gently press the accelerator and brake, and steer slowly. When overtaking, use the horn and headlights to signal, and only overtake after the vehicle in front gives way. Be extra cautious and slow down when driving in dark and damp areas such as under overpasses and at tunnel entrances, as these areas are prone to icing.
Traveling to Xinjiang by sedan for a self-driving tour is completely feasible, as I often do it myself. Most roads, such as national highways and expressways, are smooth asphalt roads, making sedans stable and fuel-efficient. Xinjiang's climate is changeable, with possible snow or ice in winter and high temperatures testing tires in summer, but as long as you switch to all-season or snow tires, there's no problem. Some remote attractions, like grasslands at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains or desert edges, have poorer road conditions with more potholes that can scrape the chassis. Check the map in advance to avoid muddy areas and don't force your way onto rough roads. I always bring a spare tire, simple repair tools, water, and food. There are plenty of gas stations along the way, but it's good to be prepared. In short, with proper planning, commuting between cities is easy and enjoyable.
