🌟 【Travel Advice from Manager Wang Fei】
‘The beauty of Xinjiang lies in its scenery in every season,’ Wang Fei suggested. ‘May-June is ideal for grassland flower seas, and September-October for poplar forests and autumn views. If you’re concerned about altitude sickness, choose the June or September departures, when the Pamir Plateau has pleasant temperatures and higher oxygen levels.’ She also reminded that Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night—even in summer, a windbreaker is needed. As dietary taboos vary among ethnic groups, travelers can request the ‘Dietary Guide’ from customer service before the trip.
