Fantastic 5.0
I've returned from my 10-day trip to Xinjiang. I booked my own flights but had no idea about the itinerary, so I contacted Klook. They responded very quickly. After the customer service representative asked about my general requirements, they helped me create an itinerary. I was satisfied with the accommodations they arranged. Before departure, the concierge arranged for our driver, Master Liu. Master Liu took great care of us throughout the trip, helping us with any needs we had. He also paid attention to the surroundings while driving, and whenever he saw a beautiful view, he would let us stop to take photos. The concierge also reminded us each night about the next day's itinerary and what to pay attention to. They also monitored local weather and traffic conditions. When bad weather was anticipated, they discussed it with us in advance and suggested changes to the itinerary, ultimately helping us avoid heavy snow and road closures on the Duku Highway. 👍🏻

Great 4.0
The itinerary included punctual pick-up and departure. The local guide was very clear about the optional activities and the route. We had ample time at Tianchi Lake in Tianshan, and the scenery was beautiful. After the tour, we returned to the city on time. This is quite convenient for those looking to join a day trip.

This tour is a good introduction to North Xinjiang for first-time visitors. However, be prepared for long hours on the road. That said, the overall experience depends a lot on the driver-guide. I didn't appreciate being directed to expensive restaurants instead of being given a choice. On my last day, the airport driver insisted I leave the hotel early because of traffic but there was none. I arrived at the airport 3.5 hours before my flight, apparently because the driver had another booking. Overall, the scenery made the trip worthwhile, but I hope the company gives guests more flexibility and puts customers' convenience first.

I highly recommend this private tour, in 9 days we were able to appreciate the beauty of Xinjiang. I am still processing how unreal the places are. Truly grateful also to the most accomodating and patient driver, Mr.Lee, despite the language barrier we felt very taken care of by him.

Many thanks to Brother Wang for taking such good care of us throughout the trip. He safely drove us through mountains and rivers every day and shared many stories, making our journey richer and warmer. He was also very thoughtful when one of our companions lost an item, arranging for it to be delivered to our new accommodation.

What to know before visiting Urumqi

Brief overview of Ürümqi and what draws visitors

Ürümqi’s Klook bookings are dominated by tours and attraction passes, so most visitors come for guided excursions and organised sightseeing. Demand rises and falls through the year with a clear high season in late summer and a much quieter spring.

Best times to visit based on crowds and prices

Klook data show demand peaks in August and hits a low point in March. Prices trend differently: the priciest month on record is June while the cheapest month is typically December, roughly 48% lower than the peak price month. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in December or the quieter spring months around March–April; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest touring options, visit in August. Note that demand and prices do not move perfectly together here — the busiest month (August) is not the absolute priciest, so you can find peak-season energy without the very highest average prices.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia tend to book about three to four weeks ahead, with a non-negligible share booking earlier; leave room for some planning if you travel in August, when demand is highest. Many activities are organised tours, so check Klook for available guided options and consider securing key tours in advance while leaving smaller activities for last-minute booking.
