1️⃣ Itinerary framework and pace
Daily mileage and driving time:Distances between Xinjiang attractions are long (e.g., Urumqi to Kanas is about 500 km, 8 hours by car), so confirm whether daily driving times are reasonable to avoid fatigue;
Attraction connection logic:For example, the Northern Xinjiang loop can follow the order ‘Urumqi – Tianshan Tianchi – Keketuohai – Kanas – Hemu – Devil City – Sayram Lake’, balancing natural and cultural landscapes;
Flexibility for changes:In case of sudden situations like weather or road closures, can the itinerary be changed temporarily (e.g., rerouting to Nalati Grassland or adding hiking time at Kanas).
2️⃣ Transportation and vehicle type
Vehicle selection:Choose vehicles based on group size (e.g., SUV for 4 people, business van for 6-8, minibus for 10+), and confirm whether the vehicle is from a legitimate tourism fleet and the driver is properly qualified;
Vehicle usage scope:Whether it includes in-scenic-area transport (e.g., Kanas requires shuttle buses), and intercity transport (e.g., Urumqi to Yining);
Included costs:Whether fuel, tolls, and parking fees are included in the itinerary, and whether additional driver meals and accommodation subsidies are required.

Special needs:Such as family rooms, accessible facilities, proximity to scenic areas or city centers;

Cost details:Clarify what is included (e.g., transportation, accommodation, tickets, guide services) and what is not (e.g., meals, personal expenses, entertainment);
Payment process:Whether payments are staged (e.g., deposit + balance), and the refund policy;
Hidden costs:Whether in-scenic-area transport (e.g., Kanas boat rides) or evening activities (e.g., bonfire parties) require additional payment.
5️⃣ Service scope and responsibility division
Guide/driver services:Whether a full-time accompanying guide is provided, or a driver-guide is recommended;
