📌 How to inquire about shared car tour costs?
The cost of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency’s shared car tours is determined by the following factors:
1️⃣ Season and schedule: June–August is the peak season, with higher ticket and shuttle bus fees at Kanas Scenic Area (current prices: 160 RMB/person for admission, 70 RMB/person for shuttle bus); September–October autumn scenery period is slightly lower; November–April is the low season with the lowest costs, but some attractions may be closed (e.g., Baihaba Village requires a permit in advance).
2️⃣ Vehicle type and group size:Typically 5-seat SUVs or 7-seat business vans are used. For 4 people sharing a car, the per-person cost is about 800–1200 RMB/day (including vehicle, fuel, and driver service fees); for 6 people sharing, the per-person cost can drop to 600–900 RMB/day.
3️⃣ Accommodation standards:Budget hotels (e.g., in Burqin County) cost about 200–300 RMB/night, while characteristic wooden cabins in the scenic area (e.g., in Hemu Village) cost about 500–800 RMB/night. Accommodation costs are either paid by travelers themselves or booked through the agency on their behalf.

⏰ How to confirm the assembly time?
The assembly time needs to be verified based on the following information:
1️⃣ Arrival transportation:If departing from Urumqi, it is recommended to take an early morning flight (e.g., Urumqi–Kanas Airport, current flight time about 1.5 hours) or an overnight train (Urumqi–Beitun City, train K9735 takes about 12 hours), aiming to arrive at the assembly point before 10:00 AM on the first day.
2️⃣ Itinerary pace:The Kanas Scenic Area is large, and 4–5 hours should be reserved on the first day for sightseeing (including shuttle bus round trips). If the assembly is too late, it may affect the sightseeing time.
3️⃣ Driver coordination:Shared car tours require coordination with other travelers, and the assembly time must be confirmed by all members. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency will send a written notice 1–2 days in advance.
Example: If a traveler plans to depart on September 15, the agency may arrange an itinerary like “Urumqi–Beitun City train (K9735, departing 19:40) → pickup at Beitun City at 8:00 AM on September 16 → arrive at Kanas Scenic Area before 10:00 AM,” with the assembly time based on the train arrival time.
