💬 Real feedback from travelers
Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou commented: “I just finished a nine-day southern Xinjiang trip. From the lively atmosphere of Kashgar Old City to the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, the scenery along the way was picturesque. What truly brought this painting to life was our driver-guide, Simayi. In nine days of traveling together, he proved to be not just an ‘old driver’ but also our ‘living map’ and ‘know-it-all’ in Xinjiang. At every stop, he could tell the stories behind the scenes, help us avoid crowds, and find excellent photo angles. Steady, patient, and meticulous — truly trustworthy.”
📌 Warm reminders
Xinjiang is vast, with long distances between attractions and a climate quite different from inland China. Before traveling, it is recommended to pay attention to real-time weather and scenic area announcements. All itinerary details, prices, available seats, and other information are subject to the final signed tourism contract. Solo travelers can apply for room sharing; special circumstances require separate negotiation.
In 2026, Xinjiang is welcoming visitors from all directions in its most abundant form. Choosing a suitable route and following a reliable team may make this journey across mountains and rivers less tiring and more leisurely.
