Choose an appropriate vehicle type based on the number of travelers and the amount of luggage. For family trips or small group travel, a 7-seater business vehicle is a good choice; for larger groups, a minibus or coach with more than 12 seats can be selected.
Tourists with higher comfort requirements can choose luxury business vehicles or first-class business vehicles.
Seasonal Selection Suggestions:
The peak tourist season in Xinjiang is from June to August and during the National Day holiday. The scenery is excellent during this time, but there are more tourists and prices are relatively higher.
Southern Xinjiang Cultural Journey: This route focuses more on exploring the diverse ethnic cultures. Kashgar Old Town, one of Xinjiang’s most representative ancient towns, preserves a wealth of traditional architecture and folk customs from various ethnic groups. The Taklimakan Desert, China’s largest desert, offers visitors the thrill of desert exploration and a chance to experience the grandeur and mystery of nature. The regular season (May, September-October) sees fewer tourists and moderate prices, making it a cost-effective travel period.
During the off-season (November-April of the following year), some scenic spots may be closed or have shortened opening hours. It is necessary to inquire about the opening status of scenic spots in advance.
Itinerary Planning Suggestions:
Plan your itinerary route and scenic spot停留 (Note: ‘停留’ seems out of context here; it might mean ‘stay times’ or ‘duration at each spot’) times in advance to avoid an overly紧凑 (compact/tight) or loose itinerary.
Inquire about the opening hours and admission ticket prices of each scenic spot in advance, and book tickets and accommodation in advance to avoid the situation of being unable to find a room during the peak season.
Arrange your itinerary reasonably according to your physical condition and interests to avoid excessive fatigue affecting your travel experience.
Tips:
Xinjiang covers a vast area, and some road sections have complex conditions. It is necessary to choose local drivers familiar with the road conditions and vehicles from formal travel agencies.
Check the vehicle condition and the driver’s qualifications before departure to ensure safe driving.
Obey traffic rules, do not speed, do not drink and drive, and do not drive while fatigued.
Carry valid identification documents and common medications with you for emergencies.
Xinjiang, a mysterious and beautiful land, awaits your exploration. Opting for a customized group tour with a driver-included vehicle rental makes your journey more worry-free, secure, and comfortable.
