Xinjiang

Our Chinese driver and tour guide, Xu Mingyu, was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. He used a translation app to communicate with us and always made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the tour. We booked a package with 7 full days of touring and one free day to explore the city. The price was surprisingly affordable, but the experience exceeded our expectations from the very first day! The hotels were genuinely 4 💎 quality. Our accommodation in Kanas was more basic, as expected in a mountain area, but the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Overall, we found all the accommodations relaxing and pleasant. Every destination was beautiful and peaceful. Tianchi, or Heavenly Lake, was my favorite, while Kanas was breathtaking despite the cold weather. The van is comfortable even during long drives. This tour offered excellent value for money and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended! We will definitely book with them again for our next Xinjiang adventure! ❤️

Paikka on erittäin kaunis ja upea, ja sää on miellyttävän viileä. Kaikki on täydellistä. Haluaisin antaa pienen lisävinkin oppaalle, jotta kokemus olisi täydellinen: myykää aktiviteetit erikseen. Aluksi luulin, että minun täytyi ostaa kaikki aktiviteetit pakettina, mutta todellisuudessa paikan päällä voi ostaa ne erikseen. Tämä johti siihen, että käytin rahaa aktiviteetteihin, joista en pitänyt.

everything was fine except super crazy traffic in saylam lake.

Minulla oli hieno kokemus tällä retkellä. Kuljettaja herra Zhang oli täsmällinen ja huomaavainen. Maisema-alueella oli rakennustöitä useissa paikoissa. Köysirata-ajelu vuorelle ei sisältynyt lippuun, mutta kuljettaja auttoi minua ostamaan sen. Lippu maksaa toiset 200 yuania ja kokemus huipulle pääsemisestä on sen arvoinen.

iy was amazing day trip. beautiful views and driver is nice as well.

Excellent! WeChat is a must. Scan your passport at the ticket gate. Met the guide at Turpan Station. Communication was done using WeChat's translation feature. We had an 8-seater van with USB charging sockets, and paid an additional 170 yuan (for camels, desert entry, and village visit). We went to the Flaming Mountains photo spot, then rode camels, tasted watermelon, had lunch at a folk village for 25 yuan, explored the village, walked in the desert (off-road vehicles and other options available), and then headed to the station. We were scheduled to arrive around 10:30 PM, but got there before 9:00 PM and were able to switch to an earlier train. There's a cafeteria at Turpan Station.

This trip to Xinjiang was my first time experiencing a small group tour of 6 people, and I unexpectedly ended up loving it. The local travel agency arranged the group consolidation, and the pace of the itinerary was just right. Ample time was left at each attraction to slowly take it all in—no rushing, and no missed scenery. Throughout the journey, the accommodations were comfortable and the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Staying at a beautiful detached log cabin in Nalati was a particular highlight, with pastoral scenery right outside the window. Along the way, the landscapes were picturesque and each view brought its own surprises, leaving behind a truly memorable autumn journey in Xinjiang.

Had an amazing time exploring Nalati Grassland with this tour! It was a small private group, only 6 people, which made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed instead of rushed like the bigger group tours. The admin/and the driver was super helpful and patient, even though I don’t speak Chinese, they made sure I never felt lost or left out. Communication, logistics, everything was smooth. Highly recommend this tour if you want a more intimate, well organized way to see Nalati without the mass-tourism crowd. Will book with them again if I’m back in yining.

Tämä matka antoi minulle mahdollisuuden arvostaa luonnon upeita maisemia. On kuitenkin tärkeää huomioida, että korkeussairauden oireita saattaa esiintyä. Kuljettajamme Ma Lei oli todella merkittävä henkilö – kiitollisuuteni häntä kohtaan on sanoin kuvaamatonta. Tunsin itseni uskomattoman etuoikeutetuksi matkustaessani hänen kanssaan. Rouva Kaixin, joka oli vastuussa noutamisestamme lentokentältä, toivotti meidät tervetulleeksi kuin perheenjäsenet ja huolehti meistä matkamme loppuun asti. Hotelli oli myös erinomainen. Kaiken kaikkiaan matka oli erittäin hyvin järjestetty; rouva Kaixin, kuljettaja Ma Lei ja koko matkaa valvonut johtaja olivat kaikki erinomaisia.
