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.

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. 👍🏻

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

Quick snapshot of Ürümqi's travel scene

Ürümqi draws most visitor bookings for tours and attraction passes, with guided day trips and multi-day excursions leading demand. Bookings rise sharply in a distinct high season around late summer, while the rest of the year sees much lighter demand.

Best times to visit and how prices shift

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is August and demand is lowest in March. Prices trend separately from demand at times: accommodation and activity prices are highest around June and then settle down toward the end of the year, with December typically the least expensive month on Klook. For travellers wanting smaller crowds and lower prices, late autumn and early winter months around November–December tend to offer both quieter visits and more budget-friendly rates; those chasing festival atmosphere and the liveliest tour options should aim for July–August when demand peaks.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers book roughly three weeks in advance, with many locking plans about 24 days out and some booking earlier; that makes light planning useful, especially if you travel in the peak months mentioned above. Tours are the most-booked category, so consider reserving guided trips and attraction passes ahead on Klook to secure preferred dates while still leaving room for flexibility.
