👩💼 Route designer says
“The biggest highlight of this route is the golden combination of ‘special train + land,'” introduced Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. “Tourists can enjoy the comfort and convenience of the special train while also staying in depth at core scenic areas. For example, we arranged a full day in Kanas, avoiding tour group peaks, so tourists can truly feel the tranquility of ‘the back garden.'”
Manager Wang Fei is a native of Xinjiang who has worked in the tourism industry for more than ten years and has traveled to every scenic spot across the Tianshan Mountains. She is familiar with the full travel routes, road conditions and weather, and local customs of northern and southern Xinjiang. She is proficient in various travel plans such as independent travel planning, boutique small groups, local customized vehicles, and tourist special trains, and is familiar with accommodation and food in various places, niche hidden destinations, and tips for avoiding pitfalls. She can plan classic loop routes as well as customize niche in-depth journeys. She is cheerful and humorous, skilled at explaining the cultural history of the Western Regions, and easily resolves travel trivialities, making the whole trip thoughtful and reliable.
“We adhere to the principle of no consumption and do not arrange shopping throughout the itinerary,” Wang Fei emphasized. “All optional paid items are clearly marked, and we never force consumption. For example, in the dried fruit market in southern Xinjiang, we take tourists to formal wholesale markets, which are at least 30% cheaper than scenic areas.”
