1. Actual residence or meeting city: If you arrive in Xinjiang from elsewhere, you can choose transportation hubs such as Urumqi or Yining as the starting point; if you are already in Yining, you can depart directly from your hotel or location.
2. Itinerary continuity: The departure point should connect reasonably with the first day’s sightseeing spots. For example, if you plan to visit Sayram Lake on the first day, departing from Yining saves more time.
3. Vehicle dispatch convenience: Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency needs to arrange vehicles based on vehicle type, group size, and route. The departure point must be within the vehicle’s coverage area (such as Yining city and surrounding counties).
