Fantastic 5.0

Review for: Small group tour for 8-15 people (Departs from Urumqi - Minimum booking of 2 people)

this was an incredible tour visiting a whole bunch of famous places in Turpan, a desert climate surrounded by massive canyons and mountain ranges about a 3hr drive out from Urumqi city. The driver was so friendly and accommodating, we were very well looked after. Highly recommend this tour if you're after something a little different in China.
