When hiking in Kanas, he specifically reminded the elderly to wear non-slip shoes, more careful than a son!”
Ms. Chen from Guangdong:“The accommodation on the Ili loop exceeded expectations! The hotel in Nalati offered grassland sunrise views, and the homestay at Sayram Lake faced the lake directly. The travel agency really put in effort.”
Mr. Wang from Beijing:“No shopping was arranged throughout the entire trip; the guide didn’t even take us to specialty stores. Instead, he proactively reminded us that ‘Xinjiang dried fruits have pitfalls, suggest buying at supermarkets.’ So honest!”
