Fantastic 5.0
The entire journey exploring the Hexi Corridor along the Silk Road went smoothly and was very well organized. Traveling through this unique side of China offered a completely different perspective rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. I highly recommend following the itinerary step by step, as each destination is carefully planned and adds meaningful context to the overall experience. It truly feels like walking through history. The driver also as our guide, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the trip. Their support made the journey even more enjoyable and comfortable. Overall, this tour is highly recommended for anyone interested in discovering a lesser-known yet historically significant region of China.

Very interesting. At Yang Guang, we experienced archery, and it was a lot of fun! We also rode in the donkey cart!

We were so lucky to have Mr. Zhang as our driver for this Hexi Corridor trip! First, I have to commend his driving skills. He drove incredibly smoothly the entire way, whether on highways or challenging roads, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. He was also incredibly patient and attentive, not only explaining the history and culture of the places we passed, which made the scenery outside the window come alive, but more importantly, he flexibly adjusted our itinerary based on our time and energy levels. This ensured we visited all the highlights without feeling overly tired. We saw the vibrant colors of the Rainbow Mountains (Qicai Danxia) and experienced the profound history of ancient ruins. The entire trip was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to the Northwest! Mr. Zhang, you definitely deserve a bonus!

Our guide, Xiao Guan, was easygoing and cheerful, and very talkative. He shared local customs and traditions throughout the journey, making the long drives full of laughter. What was most impressive was his thoughtfulness: before we got out at each attraction, he would provide detailed touring tips in advance. He also flexibly adjusted our itinerary based on the weather and available time. Along the way, he didn't forget to recommend authentic local dishes, and thanks to him, we discovered several small eateries known only to locals. With him, the entire trip was worry-free and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

What to know before visiting Jiuquan

Quick snapshot of Jiuquan and what to expect

Jiuquan draws most bookings for Tours, attraction passes and cultural experiences, and demand shifts sharply through the year. Klook data shows a clear high season in May while activity drops off toward December, giving the city a rhythm of busy springs and very quiet winters.

Best times to visit and how prices move

According to Klook booking data, May is the busiest month while December sees the weakest demand. Prices peak in July and then fall through late summer into winter; Klook bookings show the lowest typical prices in June. For travellers seeking lower costs and smaller crowds, June and December are the months to consider; those after lively peak-season atmosphere should aim for May. Note that demand and prices do not move in perfect sync here — demand tops out in May while the priciest month for bookings is July, so you can sometimes avoid the biggest crowds without taking the absolute peak price.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers from Singapore typically book about 19 days ahead, with some last-minute bookings possible around five days out. If you travel in peak season (May), plan and lock in key tours a few weeks in advance; for trips in quieter months you can be more flexible and book closer to departure. Use Klook to browse available tours and attraction passes as you plan — it’s a good way to compare options and secure popular experiences.
