If you have a misunderstanding of the itinerary days due to personal reasons, the travel agency has the right to refuse unreasonable claims. (Tourists starting and ending in Xinjiang can ignore this item) 7. Diet: The taste in Xinjiang is relatively strong, and the spiciness is slightly heavier than other inland areas. It is recommended to order less and more times when ordering or tasting delicious food; Dining time: Due to the time difference of about 2 hours between Xinjiang and inland areas (but Beijing time is still used), breakfast is generally around 8 am, lunch from 14:00 to 16:00, and dinner around 20:00; Please bring your own snacks in advance. 8. Due to the backward economy of Xinjiang compared with inland areas, there is a big gap between hotels in Xinjiang and their counterparts in inland areas, and between scenic spots and urban hotels of the same level. We hope you have sufficient mental preparation for this. 9. Itinerary Description: The above itinerary arrangement may be appropriately adjusted according to the actual weather and temperature of the day.
