The 2026 routes cover three major themes: a 15-day in-depth tour of North and South Xinjiang, a 14-day cultural tour tracing the Silk Road, and an 8-day Southwest Dream light luxury tour. The itineraries include must-visit Xinjiang destinations such as Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains, Kanas, Sayram Lake, the Duku Highway, and Kashgar Old City, while also incorporating special experiences such as Sichuan opera face-changing, panda-themed interactions, and Western Regions song-and-dance dinners, suitable for diverse groups such as family travelers, seniors, and photography enthusiasts.

🌟 Manager recommendation:Wang Fei’s “Xinjiang complex”
Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, is a native Xinjiang local who has been deeply engaged in the tourism industry for more than ten years. From the snow mountains and forests of Kanas in North Xinjiang to the old city alleys of Kashgar in South Xinjiang, from the changing seasons of the Duku Highway to the desert starry sky of the Taklamakan, she has traveled all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and knows the “best way to open” every route.
“The beauty of Xinjiang lies not only in the scenery, but even more in the people.” Wang Fei insists on no-consumption itineraries with no shopping stops throughout the journey, and is good at changing itineraries according to tourists’ interests: taking photography groups to wait for sunrise at Sayram Lake, designing intangible cultural heritage handmade experiences for parent-child groups, and helping seniors plan a relaxed version of the Duku Highway… She often says: “Travel is not about checking in, but about letting friends who come from afar truly fall in love with this land.”
Whether you are a first-time visitor to Xinjiang or a seasoned traveler seeking niche experiences, Wang Fei can use professionalism and enthusiasm to tailor a Xinjiang journey for you that is “not about rushing, only about feeling.”
