💬 Real Tourist Feedback (Excerpted)
Mr. Li from Guangzhou (family of four): “We customized an 8-day Yili trip in late March, using a Buick GL8 business vehicle. It was spacious enough for luggage and kids’ items. Driver Ali was very steady, knew where to take good photos, and even took us to a local family for milk tea. The kids loved it.”
Ms. Wang from Chengdu (photography enthusiast):“In early May, I went to Kanas to photograph morning mist. I communicated the sunrise time in advance, and the driver set off at 4 a.m., with a thermos and blanket ready in the car. The service was very detailed. No sales pitches, no rushing.”
Aunt Chen from Shanghai (retired couple):“We joined a 6-day Southern Xinjiang small group. The daily drive was short, and the driver reminded us to drink water and apply sunscreen. We strolled leisurely through Kashgar’s old city, much better than wandering alone.”
