👩💼 [Exclusive Interview with the Route Planner]
Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, is a native Xinjiang local who has worked deeply in the Xinjiang tourism industry for more than ten years, has traveled to every scenic spot north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and is familiar with the full play routes, road conditions and weather, and local customs of northern and southern Xinjiang. The Xiaoxiang号 route she carefully designed balances classic and lesser-known spots:
“We refuse superficial sightseeing. For example, in Kanas we arrange accommodation in Jiadengyu so tourists have ample time to see the morning mist; at Sayram Lake we leave a full 3 hours for a lakeside loop, trying our best to capture the ‘blue ice’ or ‘golden-edged clouds’; Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak are visited together, allowing you to feel the dual shock of grassland and wetland.”
Manager Wang Fei always adheres to the principle of arranging no shopping throughout the itinerary, refuses hidden consumption, treats people sincerely, and works professionally. She does not make assembly-line itineraries, but only creates comfortable journeys that fit tourists’ preferences, carefully allowing every friend who comes from afar to truly feel the vast magnificence and simple warmth of Xinjiang and travel around beautiful Xinjiang with peace of mind.
