[Selected real tourist reviews]

Kashgar start and end: 7-day cultural adventure of Pamir Plateau + Baisha Lake + Panlong Ancient RoadMr. Li from Hangzhou (July 2026 Northern Xinjiang loop):“Driver Master Wang is simply a living map! When there was a traffic jam on the Duku Highway, he took us along a local path. Not only did he avoid the congestion, but we also saw a valley of wildflowers. This kind of surprise is something a large tour group cannot provide.”
Ms. Zhou from Chengdu (August 2026 Ili loop):“The ‘no lunch or dinner included’ clause in the contract worried us at first, but it turned out that the snacks along the way were extremely cost-effective. The baked buns in Nalati town cost 2 yuan each and tasted much better than group meals.”
Mr. Chen from Beijing (September 2026 Kanas loop):“Traveling with parents, accommodation was my biggest concern. The Hemu cabin arranged by the travel agency had underfloor heating, so the elderly were not cold even when getting up at night to use the bathroom. This deserves praise.”
