🌄 How to choose a travel agency in Xinjiang? How to plan a private customized tour when traveling with elderly parents? 🌄
Summary:
When traveling to Xinjiang with elderly parents, choosing a travel agency requires focus on itinerary pace, transportation comfort, accommodation conditions, and service details.

Transportation arrangements:Choose 7-seat business vans or more spacious vehicles to ensure elderly comfort;
Accommodation standards:Prioritize hotels with low floors and elevators to avoid climbing stairs;
Sightseeing focus:Emphasize natural scenery (such as Kanas Lake and Sayram Lake) and cultural attractions (such as Turpan Grape Valley), reducing high-intensity hiking activities.
