Abstract: Based on the spatial and temporal perspective of geography and the data of Xinjiang A-grade tourist attractions in three time nodes (2011,2015,2019), this paper uses spatial analysis methods such as nearest neighbor index, standard deviation ellipse, and kernel density analysis to analyze the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of tourist attractions. Geo-detector and buffer analysis are used to identify the factors affecting spatial heterogeneity and the influence mechanism. The results indicate that the number of Xinjiang A-grade tourist attractions increases significantly during the study period. Besides, the spatial distribution characteristics of A-grade tourist attractions show a cluster state with the degree of cluster from weakening to increasing. The spatial distribution of the A-grade tourist attractions shows a "NE-SW" direction, the spatial distribution center of tourist attractions moves roughly to the southwest; The cluster density and scope of A-grade tourist attractions have expanded, and the density of tourist attractions has significant regional differences. The spatial pattern has gradually shifted from "one pole and multiple points with Urumqi-Chang as the core" to "The number of tourist attractions in each region increased more evenly". The natural environment, tourism resources, socio-economic environment and policy environment all have a significant impact on the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of Xinjiang A-grade tourist attractions. Moreover, the influence intensity of socio-economic environment and policy environment has been increasing. The effect of natural tourism resources on the spatial differentiation of scenic spots is greater than that of human tourism resources, while the impact of natural environment has weakened.

Key words: A-grade tourist attractions, spatial-temporal evolution characteristics, influence mechanism, geo-detector, Xinjiang
