🚩 How to choose the departure city? Focus on transport connections and itinerary coverage
The choice of departure city directly affects transport costs and sightseeing efficiency. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency’s group tour products typically depart from major cities such as Urumqi, Yining, and Kashgar. The specific choice should be confirmed based on the following factors:
Transport convenience:If you are coming from other parts of China, Urumqi, as Xinjiang’s transport hub, has frequent flights and trains, making it suitable as a transit starting point; if you plan an in-depth tour of the Ili River Valley or southern Xinjiang, you can fly directly to Yining or Kashgar to reduce transit time.
Itinerary coverage:For example, the “Northern Xinjiang Loop 8-Day Tour” usually departs from Urumqi and connects attractions such as Heavenly Lake (Tianchi), Kanas, and Sayram Lake; the “Southern Xinjiang Culture 6-Day Tour” may start from Kashgar and go deep into the Pamir Plateau and the Taklamakan Desert.
Meeting arrangements:After registration, the travel agency will provide the specific meeting point (such as airport, train station, or hotel) and time, subject to the written itinerary.
