VII. Authentic Tourist Reviews
【Three Core Advantages】【Feedback from Ms. Wang from Chengdu】
“I took my 72-year-old parents on the Northern Xinjiang loop. The tour guide, Xiao Li, was extremely thoughtful. Seeing that my father was tired in the Kanas scenic area, she immediately coordinated with the scenic area to provide wheelchair service. She would proactively ask about my parents’ health after each day’s itinerary and even taught us how to take starry sky photos. My parents had a fantastic time!”
