In order to change the tourist situation of “too popular in summer, too deserted in winter”, Turpan in Xinjiang China runs multiple activities, in which travellers can experience the local customs, to “extend” the tourist season.

The Turpan Local Committee says the local people make good use of the light and heat resources and hold the activity “Happy Old Man: Sunshine Trip to Turpan” that benefits elder citizens. In spring, events, including “The Trip of Confidence: No Volcano Cannot be crossed”, “Look for the Spring’s First Trace in Xinjiang”, “Photo Contest in Huozhou” that combine sport, leisure, recreation, and travel, are held to offer more travel options to tourists.

In addition, Turpan employs real life performance project on Loulan migration and the “Impression of Turpan”; cooperates with CCTV in holding the television program “The Passion Plaza”; joins the documentary production on Xinjiang tourism; and produces television drama “The Turpan King”. All efforts are contributed to propagate the landscape and customs in Turpan.

Also, Turpan works with Hunan and Guangdong Province in reginal cooperation aiming at strengthening the tourism competitiveness and creating a win-win situation.
