Satisfied! Ten days is not enough to visit northern Xinjiang in depth, but this group can quickly see the essence of northern Xinjiang. And what scenery you see in Xinjiang depends on the weather, and we are lucky to see all the weather. Here I want to give special praise to our driver Chen Ziqiang! His driving skills and experience are really first-class. Although he has to drive hundreds of kilometers every day, he can take us to different places safely, smoothly and steadily. He can stay calm when encountering any emergencies. And he is very careful. He will tell us what to prepare and pay attention to in the daily itinerary, and remind us where to take photos and check in. He will try his best to meet our requirements without affecting the itinerary. I want to tell friends who want to visit northern Xinjiang that northern Xinjiang is really big, and you have to drive hundreds of kilometers every day. If you really want to visit Xinjiang in depth, it will definitely not take a month. And it really depends on luck. Some scenic spots and places will be closed if the weather is bad. We are lucky to visit all places. Finally, Xinjiang tourism has been very popular in recent years, so 5A-level scenic spots are as crowded as 5A-level, and most places have to queue up. Friends who don’t want to spend too much time driving, traffic jams, and queuing should consider it more.

The travel agency's service was attentive. We specifically requested to change the hotel for our last night, and the contact person immediately helped me change it, making it a perfect trip for us. In addition, I was very lucky to meet the excellent driver and tour guide Mr. Luo Gang. His serious attitude and enthusiastic service made my trip extremely exciting. From history and culture to customs, he could explain it to us in detail and vividly, allowing us to deeply understand the unique charm of this place. His gentle personality and patience and meticulousness also made our trip more enjoyable and comfortable. I highly recommend this driver and guide, he will definitely add tons of fun and memories to your trip.

We temporarily signed up for a 10-day, 9-night tour to Northern Xinjiang, which was really great👍. We met harmonious and funny group members by chance. The group number was BR0166. We spent 8 days together and it was not boring at all. We talked and laughed all the way, which left many good memories for this trip to Northern Xinjiang. We also met a very enthusiastic and sincere, responsible, emotionally stable and professional driver, Brother Yang Chao. As tourists, we went to the scenic spot for a full 8-day trip + took a long drive. We were exhausted, but the driver was on time every day + energetic + enthusiastic to arrange our itinerary, and was very patient to solve problems and answer our confusion. The driver was very good👍I really admire the driver's perseverance. The driver scored full marks💯 and chicken legs. I was lucky to meet a friend and a good driver, which left many good memories for this trip. In addition, Northern Xinjiang is really beautiful, and Xinjiang is really big. I was also shocked by the beauty of the scenery⛰️. I was healed by the wind blowing the grass and seeing cattle and sheep⛰️. I really like the scenery of Northern Xinjiang, and it was not in vain. 😁😁👍👍

Spending 10 days and 9 nights together day and night, I am sure this is a journey full of warmth. When I went to Kashgar when I was a kid, I always heard people mention what the scenery in northern Xinjiang was like. How great was the Silk Road in the Western Regions in the north? Wear a leather jacket in the morning and a gauze in the afternoon? For a Northeasterner living in Guangzhou, the loneliness, coldness and colorful changes of Xinjiang’s autumn are undoubtedly full of attraction. There is no advance preparation. The real experience comes from unexpected encounters, so I signed up for the tour. It's coming. We are a small group of six people from all over the world. My friends and I, as well as two couples on their honeymoon: Brother Pi and Sister V, and the couple from Jiaxing and Hangzhou of the Zhejiang representative team. We are all very nice, and we get along well with people of the same age. We got along very well, took pictures of each other, and collected 1,262 photos. Along the way, Master Ma, known as the "Fifth Elder Brother" by people in the world, has multiple identities such as tour guide, driver, encyclopedia, and translator. Enthusiastic, humorous, sincere and thoughtful. For us tourists, we are thankful that the group cooperation is to do our part, but the melon, apple, wild hawthorn coffee drinks along the way were paid for by Master Ma out of his own pocket, so we are grateful. After getting along with him for a few days, we found out that he is a very down-to-earth big brother, so we can safely follow him around the mountains and rivers while laughing and talking. Xinjiang is a good place, and Ma Ge in Xinjiang is also a "son doll". Through Ma Ge, we felt the beauty of the vastness and the tenderness of a man. Frankly speaking, Meicheng is really lucky to have such a tour guide and driver. We will travel again next time I will be really disappointed if I find out that Brother Ma is not a gold medal tour guide, okay? 😉 Xinjiang is so big that one visit is not enough. Look at the customs in southern Xinjiang, and the scenery and pleasant journey in northern Xinjiang. Beautiful scenery and touching coexist. Rehe Maiti~ PS: I was very lucky along the way and neither got too cold nor too hot, so I still need to prepare a thick coat in the morning and evening, replenish water in time and pay attention to sun protection.

Xinjiang thinks it is a place worth visiting. This trip to Klook has a high CP value. The places to visit cover the main scenic spots in northern Xinjiang, such as the blue Tianchi, the majestic Tianshan, the Irtysh River, the beautiful Kanas, The magnificent Nalati Grassland, the Yadan landform of Devil City, Sailimu Lake, the last tear of the blue Atlantic Ocean, and driving on the Duku Highway, you can appreciate the four seasons in one day and the different days for ten miles. Of course, the driver guide Mr. Zhang Xuzhi (Xinjiang Meicheng Travel Agency) has comprehensive services and a warm-hearted and kind personality. He knows the attractions and routes very well, which is an extra point for our journey. This is a satisfying trip and it is highly recommended.

This 10-day, 9-night trip to Xinjiang was very satisfying. It allowed us to experience different geological features and appreciate various beautiful scenery. The wonderful travel experience is inseparable from every aspect of the arrangement of Kelu. The housekeeper service is thoughtful. More importantly, it is the driver Yue Chao who served us all the way. His driving skills are first-class, and the turning ramp is very smooth. There was a beautiful woman who was carsick in the car, but she didn't feel uncomfortable on the Duku Highway. His mighty and strong appearance has a delicate, gentle and considerate side. Every scenic spot will remind the precautions in the group. Although it is a small group, different people have different play time. He tries his best to meet everyone's needs and pick up tourists from the scenic spot to the hotel in batches. It is very touching. What is rare is that although he drives very hard, he accompanies us into the important scenic spots, tells us what is worth seeing, and takes videos for us at Sailimu Lake. The service is first-class. Thanks to the driver Yue Chao again.

Total score: 5 points Overall: Completing the 10 days and 9 nights of the Northern Powerful Loop may be an impossible task for other tour groups. With the cooperation of the driver and the 6 efficient team members, God made most of the trip beautiful. He left early and came back late with less traffic jams. He did not waste his precious vacation time and saw picturesque scenery for many days. It is recommended to ask customer service for the contact information of the local travel agency a few days before departure, and then sign an electronic contract with the local travel agency after arrival. (4.2 points) Driver: "Hour" is conscientious and conscientious, not afraid of hardship, and his driving skills are really above the class, very stable and safe. My friend who is prone to motion sickness does not need to take motion sickness medicine even if he keeps driving on the mountain road. He also accompanied us to the scenic spot, orange 7 The driver and driver kept it clean. The driver helped us handle the procedures for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents to enter and exit Cocotuohai and Bayinbuluke (4.5 points) Accommodation: The Devil City Hotel has an exotic feel, and the Yining Hotel is okay. Other accommodation conditions. It's limited and outdated. For example, most hair dryers will stop working if they get too hot. It's hard to say if you want to share a room. Fortunately, the group members who share a room this time don't necessarily have coffee (3.5 points). ) Attractions: I climbed 1,068 stairs in Kanas and climbed the mountain twice. I personally think the natural grassland of Selim Lake is the most beautiful, and the Tianshan Tree Lake blends into one. Then the blue of Selim Lake is unforgettable. (4.5 points. ) Food: The restaurants recommended by the driver are all good. The restaurants near Serimu Lake have various fish dishes such as salmon dumplings. You can eat mutton and cantaloupe every day, and the chicken dishes are more expensive. (4.5 points) Activities: Self-funded activities in August are not cheap, including lake tours and horse riding (4 points).

The travel butler Zhang Tao can arrange the itinerary well and solve the problem in time. Master Bai's driving skills are excellent, his service is enthusiastic, he feels warm, and his teamwork is seamless. He looks forward to traveling to Xinjiang next time.

The scenery of Kanas Lake is so beautiful, there are so many people, and the Duku Highway is beautiful everywhere. I am very satisfied with the entire ten-day tour. The tour guide Yang Xiaoming is very responsible, careful in arrangements, and very helpful to the group members. Xinjiang is really worth visiting.

Xinjiang has no disadvantages except that it is big. So I decided to sign up for a small group for this trip, which is more flexible and safer. After the trip, I found that this decision was absolutely correct. The trip to Xinjiang is long, the distance between attractions is far, and there are many emergencies, such as the century-long traffic jam in Duku, and the temporary closure of the thunderstorm scenic spot, which is very challenging. Fortunately, the travel agency sent an experienced brother Bai Feilong, who is highly familiar with the road conditions and has strong time management skills. Duku, Saihu, Nalati, several time-consuming and laborious attractions were successfully visited. I hope to see you again in the future trip to southern Xinjiang.
