For families with elderly and children, you can choose hotels or guesthouses with complete facilities and attentive service. For example, in scenic areas like Kanas and Hemu, you can choose characteristic log cabin accommodation to let family members experience the local style; in cities like Urumqi, you can choose star-rated hotels for more comfortable accommodation conditions.
Meal arrangements:Rich and varied
Northern Xinjiang has a rich variety of cuisine. When traveling with family, meals should be reasonably arranged so family members can taste the local specialties. You can choose well-reviewed restaurants to enjoy Xinjiang specialties such as stewed lamb, hand-pulled rice, baked buns, and noodles with fried meat.
