Review for: 15-20 Person - Departs from Turpan (Emin Minaret/Prince's Mansion)

The tour was goid experience. Our guide, Mr. Zhou was a helpful, very informative guy. The highlught of this tour for me is the camel ride to top of Flaming Mountain, where you can see the rocky part, sand part and the whole gigantic view of Flaming Mountain..It's spectacular. There is some add-on in this tour, I paid extra 180RMB for lunch & camel ride.
