👩💼 【Route Designer’s Notes】
“The most ingenious part of this route is its pacing,” says Wang Fei, Manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. “Every 2-3 days, we arrange a more physically demanding core scenic area, interspersed with cultural experiences or leisure activities. For example, after visiting Kanas Lake, the next day features home visits with local ethnic families, allowing travelers to relax through horseback riding, dairy product making, and other activities after hiking.”

🌈 【Route Designer Wang Fei’s Travel Advice】
“The most touching moments on this route often happen unexpectedly,” says this veteran traveler who has visited over 200 scenic spots in Xinjiang. “For example, in the early morning at Hemu Village, when the first rays of sunlight illuminate the smoke rising from wooden house chimneys; or at night on the Pamir Plateau, looking up to see the Milky Way stretching across Muztagh Ata. These moments are the most precious memories of a Xinjiang journey.”
