📌 Past Traveler Feedback
Feedback from Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou: I just finished a nine-day Southern Xinjiang trip. From the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar Old City to the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, from the vastness of the Taklamakan Desert to the magnificent views of Tomur Canyon, the scenery along the way was picturesque. What truly brought this picture to life was our driver-guide. Over nine days of close interaction, we went from strangers to close friends. He wasn’t just our driver—he was our “living map” and “know-it-all” in Xinjiang. His driving was very steady, and he would proactively stop at beautiful spots for us to take photos.
Feedback from Mr. Chen from Shanghai: My friend and I are both photography enthusiasts. This time we booked the 12-day Northern Xinjiang panoramic small group. Including the driver, there were 7 of us in total, all peers who love photography, and we got along wonderfully. Driver Li knew many hidden photography spots and even proactively used a drone to take group photos for us. There were no extra charges throughout the trip. If we wanted to stay longer at a spot, we simply stayed longer—no rush at all. The footage I captured is enough to edit several vlogs.
Feedback from Ms. Zhang from Chengdu: This time I brought my parents on the 8-day Ili small group tour. Before departure, I was worried the elderly might not adapt, but the trip went very smoothly. The hotels were clean and comfortable, the pace wasn’t too fast, and we didn’t walk too much. The scenic area tickets and reservations were all arranged for us in advance, so we didn’t have to worry about anything. My parents said they would choose your agency again next time they visit Xinjiang.
📌 Travel Tips
1. Xinjiang is vast with long distances between attractions. It’s recommended to wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and take sun protection and hydration measures.
2. In case of force majeure factors such as weather, road conditions, or scenic area closures, the itinerary may be reasonably adjusted upon mutual agreement.
3. Solo travelers will be matched for room sharing where possible; special circumstances require separate negotiation.
4. All prices and seat availability are subject to customer service confirmation and the signed contract, and may vary with departure dates.
5. Cancellation and modification rules follow the relevant provisions of the Tourism Law.
