Things to do in Xinjiang

it was a wonderful tour. I’m a foreigner not speaking Chinese but could complete the tour using translator app. Tour operator communicated beforehand and provided a bus license number so that I can ride a right bus.(there were 6 bus in front of hotel!) Also it is better to take a screen shot of your number next to your name. Roll call was done a couple of times by a number in Chinese. I exchanged We hat with a guide so that I could receive a QR code which is required for people without Chinese ID card. There are multiple options to choose from. I chose a option which includes everything. (Flying over the world, cable car and boat) Flying over the world attraction was fun. Lunch was provided with traditional dance. it was well organized tour and tour guide was excellent.

The tour brought us an amazing Xinjiang. This tour was really well-organized with details of destinations,weather,dress codes. The tour guide XiaoZhou took care of us very warmly. He introduced about the destinations in details as well as the safety warnings. He aslo gave us many recommendations and tips when we needed to by souvenirs in Urumqi.

A little over a week passed quickly. It was my first time in Northern Xinjiang, and the route included Urumqi - Altay - Kanas - Hemu - Sayram Lake. The pick-up and drop-off service was very thorough, and the accommodation arrangements were also satisfactory. Many thanks to Master Guo Jing! He is very familiar with the routes between scenic spots and cities, his driving skills are very stable, and he also reminds us to pay attention to the scenery and animals. He thoughtfully prepared snacks, yogurt, and hot water. The 7-seater car is also very comfortable, and the heated and massage seats are great for winter travel! The master's aerial photography results are also amazing! He also took care of me, traveling alone with the group, haha~ I will definitely come to Xinjiang again!

The itinerary was well-planned, with many beautiful sights along the way. The hotel accommodations were clean and tidy, and the vehicle used was indeed the advertised 1+1 seating, making it quite comfortable. Our driver-guide, Xiaona, was attentive and responsible. She stopped at scenic spots and beautiful locations to allow everyone to take pictures and even used a drone to capture photos for us. Overall, it was a great experience.

I am very satisfied with the itinerary and accommodations arranged this time! Master Cao is conscientious and diligent, with skillful driving skills, humorous and funny speech, and a very responsible and serious attitude. He took care of us carefully throughout the trip, and the drone photography was very considerate, taking many shots. The travel butler, Mao Mao, provided attentive, thoughtful, and very careful service! A particularly happy trip, and I will come again in the future!

I really can't bear to recommend this guide, Deng, to everyone! 1. Regarding driving, he's practically an AI navigation system incarnate. In the wilderness of Southern Xinjiang, where "navigation signals frequently go AWOL," he drove with the dignity of a human-powered Gaode Map—never getting lost, and the car never had any problems. 2. Regarding the itinerary, when we said things like "I'm a little tired" or "Can we stay here a little longer," or if we woke up a little late or played late, he was never impatient. Instead, he quickly adjusted and respected the wishes of the tourists—as if we were the directors and he was a super-capable, all-around production assistant. 3. As cultured people ourselves, we appreciate that Guide Deng grew up here, is well-read, and knows the geography well. He can tell you about wars and love stories from two thousand years ago at every mound of earth. I can't help but want to give him a sash that says "Excellent National Unity Explainer." 4. He's a hidden photography guru. He can take photos with your phone that feel like a "National Geographic" cover, and his drone skills are even more amazing. In front of the snow-capped mountains, he directed us: "Walk! Look back! Be natural!" The results sparked heated discussions in our social circle: "Did you hire a film crew to follow you?" 5. His finances are as transparent as the sky in Kashgar. Aside from the project fees and meals, there were no temporary additional fees throughout the entire trip. He also reminded us which places were expensive and which were cheap, ensuring peace of mind! I used to think "tour guide" was just a job, but after meeting Guide Deng, I realized—he's a living, breathing guidebook to Southern Xinjiang, a radiator in the cold plateau, a phone memory killer (so many photos!), and a responsible conscience in the travel world. If traveling in Xinjiang is a blind box, then Guide Deng is the hidden SSR item. Quickly recommend him to everyone who wants to go to Xinjiang (but don't let him get too busy, I'm afraid I won't be able to book him next time). P.S. The after-effects of coming back: every other tour guide seems "not all-around enough"; I still haven't finished organizing my phone album—all his fault for taking such great photos!

The dance performance was decent; the movements were fluid, dynamic, and full of tension. The dancers were emotionally invested, the rhythm was precisely controlled, and the lighting and music were perfectly integrated. The overall atmosphere was good, and there was audience interaction. It was slightly overpriced. The buffet was average; it was mostly just food from the pedestrian street.
