💬 Real Tourist Reviews

The agency designs products with the concept of “boutique small groups.” 2026 data shows that its 6-person shared-ride small group bookings increased by 215% year on year, among which post-90s, post-00s, and photography enthusiasts account for over 75%, making it a mainstream choice for exploring Xinjiang.“Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou: We just finished a nine-day trip to South Xinjiang, 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 scroll of the Tomur Canyon—the scenery along the way was picturesque. What truly brought this scroll to life was our driver-guide, Sima Yi. After nine days together day and night, we went from being strangers at first to talking about everything later. He was not only our driver but also our ‘living map’ and ‘know-it-all’ in Xinjiang.”
“Mr. Li from Beijing:Choosing the 6-person small group was so wise! We encountered a stunning sunset glow at Sayram Lake, and driver Master Wang proactively stopped the vehicle for us to take photos and even guided us to find excellent shooting positions. During the trip, we didn’t have to drive ourselves and could arrange our time freely—this experience is more cost-effective than customized vehicle use.”
“Ms. Zhang from Shanghai:I joined the North Xinjiang Loop with my parents, and the accommodation arrangements were especially thoughtful. Although the wooden cabins in the Kanas scenic area are expensive, opening the window reveals snow-capped mountain scenery, and my parents were very satisfied. Driver Xiao Zhang also helped us coordinate low-sugar meals—the service was truly excellent.”
