VII. Authentic Tourist Reviews

“I took my 72-year-old parents on the northern Xinjiang loop tour. The tour guide, Xiao Li, was extremely thoughtful. When he saw my father was tired in Kanas Scenic Area, he immediately coordinated for a wheelchair service. He would ask about the老人的 [elderly people’s] health every day after the itinerary and even taught us how to take starry sky photos. My parents had a fantastic time!”
