📍 Meeting Point Confirmation:3 key pieces of information to verify in advance
The meeting point of a carpool tour directly affects the efficiency of itinerary connections. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency recommends travelers focus on the following:
1. Departure city and transportation:
Yili carpool tours usually depart from Urumqi or Yining. If gathering in Urumqi, allow time to take a train/flight to Yining; if gathering directly in Yining, confirm local transportation connections (such as taxi costs from the airport to downtown or the agency’s airport pickup service).

Carpool groups need to move together, and the meeting time is generally precise to the hour (e.g., 8:30 AM). If you are late for personal reasons, you may need to catch up with the group on your own or bear additional costs; it is recommended to arrive in the departure city 1 day early.
3. Luggage restrictions and vehicle space:
Carpool vehicles are mostly 5-7 seat SUVs or business vans with limited luggage space. The agency typically allows each person 1 piece of 24-inch luggage plus 1 backpack; excess luggage must be communicated in advance or may incur additional fees.
