🌟 Real Feedback:Voices from tourists
Mr. Li from Guangzhou, a family of four (2 adults, 2 children): ‘We customized a 6-day deep tour of Ili during this year’s May Day holiday, departing from Yining and taking the southern section of the Duku Highway. The car was in great condition, and the driver, Master A, was very patient, helping us find wildflower slopes and avoid crowds for family photos. The kids had a great time, and the adults relaxed too.’
🚗 Main Services: Compliant vehicles × Local expertise × No shopping itinerary experienceMs. Wang from Chengdu (photography enthusiast):‘I communicated in advance that I wanted to photograph the morning mist over Kalajun and the sunset at Nalati. Manager Wang Fei coordinated the accommodation location and entry time, and the driver set off at 5 a.m. to take me to the shooting spot—very professional.’
Manager of the Tourism Consultation Center at Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency
Mr. Chen from Shanghai (retired couple):‘We don’t like rushing, so we chose a slow-paced 5-day itinerary, visiting only 1–2 spots per day, with time to sit and drink tea in the Tekes Bagua City. We didn’t enter any shops the whole trip, just enjoyed the scenery and food.’
