  1. Xinjiang belongs to the Northwest region, and its economy differs from that of the inland areas, so there are differences in food, accommodation, and transportation compared to the inland. * 2. Xinjiang is two hours behind the inland, but the entire region uses Beijing time for work and rest; however, Xinjiang's rest time is around 12:00 AM, and morning work starts around 10:00 AM. * 3. The ultraviolet rays are strong in tourist attractions during winter, so it is recommended to wear a hat or sunscreen, and to wear flat shoes or hiking boots for climbing. * 4. Mobile phones are prone to shutting down due to cold, so please bring a phone protective case or put it in an inner pocket of a down jacket. * 5. Although Xinjiang's temperature is slightly lower than that of the inland, many areas in Xinjiang have high altitudes and strong ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, tourists should prepare sufficient and effective sunscreens, and also bring medicines or granules for clearing heat, quenching thirst, and moisturizing, such as Xiasangju granules, to avoid being unable to withstand the overly dry and hot climate. Travelers who get motion sickness should bring their own motion sickness medicine. * 6. When traveling in Xinjiang, due to the long journey and significant climate differences, tourists may experience symptoms of acclimatization issues. Tourists should carry relevant medicines and some common medicines, such as band-aids, cold medicine, or medicine for gastrointestinal discomfort. * 7. Xinjiang is a land of fruits, and eating fruit in Xinjiang is a great pleasure, but never drink hot tea after eating fruit to avoid diarrhea. * 8. Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic residential area with strong religious overtones. Ethnic groups who believe in Islam do not eat pork, etc. This is their biggest taboo in life and must not be offended. * 9. Some scenic spots and hotels in China have their own shopping malls and specialty shopping for the convenience of tourists. All stops along the way have tourist souvenirs, souvenir photos, local specialties, and various items for sale in small shops. These are not tourist shopping stores arranged by our agency, and complaints of this nature cannot be accepted. Especially sales by private vendors are beyond our control. If you don't want to buy, please do not bargain; if interested, tourists should discern for themselves, and any purchases are personal behavior, with all consequences borne by the tourists themselves. * 10. The check-out time for hotels is 2:00 PM Beijing time. If your flight is late, you can store your luggage at the hotel front desk for free and then wander freely. Please pay attention to your flight time; we provide free airport transfer service. If you continue to use the room after 2:00 PM, the resulting fees will be at your own expense. * 11. The scenic area has many recreational facilities and entertainment activities. Participants should act according to their own health conditions. Any injuries caused by personal reasons or illness during the trip are the responsibility of the tourist.

Reviews

transportation van was comfortable; it seats 7 passengers (bucket seats with massager) incl. driver; we were a group of 4 persons & a chinese couple joined us. itinerary was comprehensive for the chosen tour of Northern Xinjiang although may not be for everyone as it entails long drives almost every day. highlight attraction is the "optional (extra pay)" cable car ride in Hemu to the top of the mountain viewing 4 countries: Kazahstan, Russia, Mongolia and China.' the attractions were good to excellent viewing mountain ranges with various animals in their natural habitats, local life communities, rivers, and lakes. accomodations are modern hotels (3 star level) with adequate chinese breakfasts; they have upgraded their beds, furnishings and toilets to western standards tour driver was excellent and fit to drive the long distances; future, he must anticipate the meal and toilet breaks of tour participants & his own driving breaks; we felt safe throughout the trip.
