Wang Fei, Manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency (a native Xinjiang local who has worked in the tourism industry for more than ten years):
“The most precious part of this journey is allowing visitors to experience Xinjiang’s changing seasons within 16 days—the Ili flower seas in May, the grassland pastoral songs in June, the Duku Highway in July, and the autumn colors of Kanas in September. We have specially designed A/B route choices to meet the in-depth needs of photography enthusiasts while also taking into account the relaxed experience of family travelers. As a no-consumption itinerary group, we firmly resist hidden consumption; all optional paid items will be announced in advance, allowing visitors to spend with full clarity.”
