Things to do in Urumqi

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.

This trip was very enjoyable. Although there was a wide age range in our group, everyone got along remarkably well. The itinerary was also well-planned and not too tiring. The hotels were all mid-to-high end with excellent hygiene. Our driver, Shen Kequan, also acted as our guide. He was quietly efficient and didn't talk too much. My mother is elderly and not very mobile, and he helped her with her luggage throughout the trip, which greatly added to the positive experience.

This group tour was an excellent experience, truly a perfect trip. The hotel accommodations were top-notch, with clean, comfortable rooms and complete facilities, providing an excellent place to rest after a day of sightseeing. The business car seats were also very comfortable, and the tour guide drove smoothly, promptly answering any questions we had. The customer service also deserves praise; any questions or requests were answered promptly and patiently, filling us with confidence about the trip before we even left. From the accommodation to the tour guide and the customer service, every aspect of this group tour was impeccable, turning all my expectations for the trip into complete satisfaction and surprise. I look forward to having such a wonderful experience again.

This tour package is beyond my expectation by miles. I’m a solo traveller and new to China. I don’t speak any chinese. I joined this small group tour with 4 locals. We had a great time traveling with them even I don’t speak Chinese at all. Wechat bridges the language barrier gap. Besides, the itinerary is good and flexible. Due to unpredictable weather at Altay which blocked us to go to Kanas and Hemu. The local tour operator has revised itinerary and refund to us which I’m really grateful for this. Finally the driver, Xiao Ma is the best and professional. He’s not only driver, but the tour leader, expert navigator and my roommate as well. He really made this trip so memorable. Finally I highly recommend this tour package which will make worry free for your trip in China.

I highly recommend Zhang Wei, the guide from Xinjiang Story! He's extremely reliable and took us to some amazing hidden gems that exceeded our expectations. He also proactively helped us take photos and was as caring as a friend. He was humorous and engaging throughout the trip, making it a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

There were no shopping trips or hidden fees, which was great. Our driver and guide, Mr. Zhang, was also very responsible. The hotels were decent, especially the log cabins in Hemu, which were very nice, but the cleanliness of the hotels could be improved. Overall, it was pretty good.

We are extremely grateful to have had Master Ma Ming Qiang 马明强 with us throughout our Xinjiang trip. He is friendly, approachable, and incredibly reliable! the kind of driver who immediately makes you feel safe and comfortable. There were days when the road was misty and visibility was low, but he remained calm, attentive, and highly professional, getting us to every destination safely. Without him, the trip would definitely not have been the same. He is also very attentive to our needs, always checking in on us and making sure we were comfortable. Every day felt fun and enjoyable because he would share stories, explain local culture, and even go the extra mile to bring us to beautiful spots we didn’t even expect. We truly appreciate his effort and his warm personality. He is honestly very very very good! highly recommended! Our Xinjiang trip was so much more memorable because of him. 👍👍🙌🙌
