Abstract：In this paper the southern five administrative districts of Xinjiang were selected as the research sample. Through the method of geostatistics， and using GIS spatial analysis tools the spatial-temporal pattern and evolution law of A-level scenic spots in southern Xinjiang were studied. The research results showed as follows. 1) With respect to the time dimension， development of level A tourism scenic spots in the southern five administrative districts of Xinjiang is mainly divided into three stages， namely slow growth (2001－2007)， rapid growth (2007－2013)， and slow growth (2013－2017). 2) As for the dimension of space， the other three time points tend to converge， except for 2001， when a uniform type exhibits and on the whole， features ranging from uniform distribution to concentrated distribution are presented. 3) From the evolutionary law， the transition from north to west is presented， which is specifically expressed as “more in the northwest than in the southeast”； north of southern Xinjiang is mainly natural tourist attractions， and the west of southern Xinjiang is mainly humanistic tourist attractions.
