IX. Manager’s Recommendation
“I am Wang Fei, a native Xinjiang local who has traveled to every scenic spot across the Tianshan Mountains. This route is designed specifically for middle-aged and elderly people. On the train you can sing karaoke and play mahjong, while the land itinerary avoids steep mountain roads and accommodation is chosen in low-altitude areas. Last year, a 78-year-old aunt completed the entire journey with us and even became a ‘travel expert’ in her social circle! This is a no-consumption itinerary with no shopping arranged throughout, and the contract will clearly specify every service, allowing you to travel with peace of mind in beautiful Xinjiang.”
