💰 What is the actual price of a 10-day 9-night no-shopping tour group?
Conclusion first:Currently on the market, a Northern Xinjiang 10-day 9-night no-shopping tour group covering core attractions such as Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake typically costs 4000-5000 RMB per person. Prices fluctuate based on season, accommodation standards, and group size.
Main factors affecting price
Season:June to October is peak season, especially September-October for Kanas autumn scenery and July-August for grassland flowers, when prices are higher. November to March of the following year is low season, with relatively cheaper prices.
Accommodation:City hotels range from comfortable to four-diamond standards, with significant price differences. Wooden cabins or characteristic guesthouses inside scenic areas can cost several hundred RMB more per night than those outside during peak season.
Vehicle:Small groups (e.g., 6-8 people) use business vans or off-road vehicles, which cost more than large tourist buses.
Tickets and shuttle buses:Tickets and shuttle bus fees for Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and other attractions are not cheap, and whether they are included in the tour fee greatly affects the total price.
Price reference by tier
The following are per-person reference ranges excluding round-trip transportation to Urumqi; specific details are subject to actual consultation and contract:
Economy no-shopping tour group:Approximately 3000-3800 RMB/person. Usually a large bus group, with comfortable hotels as the main accommodation, and some optional activities at your own expense.
