What should a solo traveler confirm when booking a Yili group tour?

Yili group tours typically depart from Urumqi, with meeting points possibly at the airport, train station, or downtown hotels. You need to confirm whether airport/station pickup is included or whether you need to make your own way to the meeting point. If departing from another city, confirm whether a transfer is needed and the associated costs.
2. Cost details and payment methods:
Costs usually include transportation (bus or tourist train), accommodation (economy/comfort hotels), tickets, guide services, and some meals. You need to confirm whether breakfast is included, meal standards (e.g., group meals or specialty meals), optional activities (e.g., horseback riding, boat rides), and shopping arrangements. Payments should be made to the travel agency’s corporate account, avoiding transfers to individuals.
