Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou previously signed up for a 9-day southern Xinjiang itinerary. Her review: “I just finished a nine-day southern Xinjiang trip, from the lively atmosphere of Kashgar Old City to the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, from the vastness of the Taklamakan Desert to the magnificent panorama of Tomur Canyon—the scenery along the way was picturesque, and what truly brought it to life was our driver-guide. Nine days of close companionship took us from initial strangers to having endless conversations. He was not just our driver but also our ‘living map’ and ‘know-it-all’ in Xinjiang, and his driving was very steady.”
Mr. Chen from Shanghai signed up for a 10-day Northern Xinjiang panoramic small group in June 2026. His review: “I had heard Xinjiang is huge and that large groups tend to rush the itinerary, so I specifically chose a 6-person small group, and the experience exceeded expectations. Our driver, Master Li, knew the best viewing times for every scenic spot—we didn’t miss the morning mist at Kanas, the starry sky at Hemu, or the sunset at Sayram Lake. He also used the drone to take many group photos with great skill. We never entered any shopping stores, and we chose our own local restaurants for meals—great taste and fair prices. This trip was thoroughly enjoyable.”

▪ Driver-Guide Service Standards: All lead drivers are experienced veterans with years of driving experience on local Xinjiang routes, familiar with road conditions across the region and scenic area policies. They communicate smoothly and will not show attitude, rush the itinerary, change routes without permission, push forced shopping, or privately request service fees. Ms. Liu from Chengdu signed up solo for a 10-day Ili in-depth small group in July 2026. Her review: “I was worried about room sharing and getting along with group members as a solo traveler, but the customer service matched me with a female roommate of a similar age in advance. The other four in the group were also young people in their twenties, and we had similar interests and got along great. The pace of the itinerary was comfortable—whenever we saw beautiful roadside flower fields, the driver would proactively stop for photos without rushing us. The hotels were also clean with bathrooms—a great experience.”
