I specifically took time off to bring my mom on this trip. The overall itinerary was well-planned and not one of those rushed, 'special forces' type of trips. Xinjiang is vast, and the drives between attractions typically start at 2-3 hours. We had airport pickup arranged on the day of arrival, and the hotel chosen offered good value for money. Our driver and tour leader was very enthusiastic, checking in on us constantly and sharing unique insights about the attractions. He would stop at popular photo spots to let everyone take pictures and even helped group members with their photos. We got many great shots along the way, and my family was very satisfied. For meals, we usually found restaurants on our own, and the leader would recommend some local specialties for those interested. The only regret was that most of the apricot blossoms had already fallen. On the way, we swapped out a planned stop for Kuerdening, which had a higher ticket price but offered fantastic photo opportunities. Overall, it was a very pleasant journey!

The butler was very prompt in responding to our requests and feedback, and even helped to arrange an airport transfer at 1am due to our flight delay, which we truly appreciated. The driver, 李师傅, was steady and drove very safely, making us feel comfortable throughout the journey, even though it lasted over 2–3 hours. He consistently went the extra mile to ensure everyone was well taken care of. It was just a little disappointing that we were unable to view the apricot blossoms as they had already fallen. Nonetheless, it was a wonderful trip overall, and we would definitely choose their services again.

Xinjiang in early spring is worth visiting. It is a good experience to travel during off-peak hours. You can witness the colors of the four seasons and experience the rich culture and food of ethnic minorities. The tour leader is also very good. I highly recommend it! Let's go to southern Xinjiang next time 😎
