Xinjiang Monipäiväiset kiertomatkat

Palasin 10 päivän Xinjiangin-matkalta. Varasin lennot itse, mutta minulla ei ollut aavistustakaan matkaohjelmasta, joten kysyin Klookilta. Vastaus oli nopea, ja asiakaspalvelu auttoi minua luomaan matkaohjelman kysyttyään ensin karkeat toiveeni. Olin tyytyväinen järjestettyyn majoitukseen. Ennen lähtöä matkanjärjestäjä oli järjestänyt kuljettajaksemme mestari Liun, joka piti meistä hyvää huolta koko matkan ajan. Hän auttoi meitä kaikissa tarpeissamme ja kiinnitti ajon aikana huomiota ympäristöön. Kun hän näki kauniita maisemia, hän antoi meidän pysähtyä ottamaan kuvia. Matkanjärjestäjä muistutti meitä joka ilta seuraavan päivän ohjelmasta ja siitä, mihin meidän tulisi kiinnittää huomiota. Hän seurasi myös paikallista säätä ja liikennetilannetta. Kun huonoa säätä oli odotettavissa, hän keskusteli kanssamme etukäteen ja ehdotti muutoksia matkaohjelmaan, minkä ansiosta vältimme lumimyrskyn ja teiden sulkemisen Duku-tiellä. 👍🏻

Our first trip to Ili, Xinjiang, an eight-day, seven-night journey, has come to a perfect end. The scenery along the way was absolutely stunning, and the entire experience was fantastic. I sincerely thank Klook's travel consultant for planning the trip, and our tour leader Liu Zhou and concierge Yu Shan for their thoughtful care throughout! Our tour leader, Liu Zhou, was professional and meticulous. At each scenic spot, he provided detailed explanations of the local customs and culture. He even proactively took us to lesser-known attractions not on our itinerary, which led to many wonderful surprises. Every day, he prepared fresh fruit, including sweet and soft 'Old Man' melons, pre-cut and distributed to everyone – such heartwarming attention to detail. The distances between attractions in Xinjiang are long, with many winding mountain roads. Liu Zhou's driving skills were steady and experienced, earning a thousand thumbs up! We never felt tired even during long drives, and we felt completely safe the entire time. Our online concierge, Yu Shan, was also very responsible, providing daily updates on the next day's itinerary in advance and carefully reminding us about important travel considerations like clothing, sun protection, and road conditions. Both of them provided attentive companionship throughout the trip, making it worry-free and pleasant. This Ili trip was comfortable and unforgettable, and I highly recommend it!

Tämä matkakokemus ylitti todella odotukset! Kuljettaja oli koko matkan ajan ammattitaitoinen ja huomaavainen, ajotaito oli vakaa ja reitit tuttuja, ja hän ajoi tasaisesti ja turvallisesti. Hän ei ainoastaan noutanut ja jättänyt meidät ajallaan ja tarjonnut erinomaista palvelua, vaan myös auttoi oma-aloitteisesti matkatavaroiden kanssa ja muistutti tärkeistä asioista, ollen yhtä huolellinen ja luotettava kuin perheenjäsen. Matkan varrella hän selitti asioita kärsivällisesti ja vastasi kaikkiin kysymyksiin, ja suunnittelu oli järkevää ilman kiirettä, mikä teki koko matkasta rentouttavan ja miellyttävän. Hän oli lämminhenkinen ja rehellinen ihminen, joka teki työnsä huolellisesti ja vastuullisesti – ehdottomasti täyden kympin matkaopas! Suosittelen lämpimästi, valitsen hänet ehdottomasti myös seuraavalle matkalle!

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.

Suosittelen lämpimästi tätä yksityiskierrosta, sillä yhdeksässä päivässä pääsimme nauttimaan Xinjiangin kauneudesta. Käsittelen edelleen sitä, kuinka epätodellisia paikat ovat. Olen todella kiitollinen myös erittäin mukautuvalle ja kärsivälliselle kuljettajalle, herra Leelle, sillä kielimuurista huolimatta tunsimme, että hän piti meistä erittäin hyvää huolta.

Kuuden päivän matkamme Etelä-Xinjiangiin päättyi täydellisesti. Pamirin ylängön kauniista ja vaikuttavista maisemista ei tarvitse paljon puhua. Olimme onnekkaita, kun tapasimme aarre-kuljettaja Veli Yangin, joka tunnetaan myös nimellä Veli Munakoiso. Hän ajoi taitavasti ja vakaasti, suunnitteli reitin järkevästi säästääkseen aikaa, ja ajoi Panlongin ja Tasha-muinaisteitä tasaisesti ja sujuvasti, mikä antoi täyden turvallisuuden tunteen. Hän oli nöyrä ja kärsivällinen, ei koskaan kiirehtinyt, ja tunsi paikalliset tavat ja perinteet. Keskustelimme hänen kanssaan erittäin miellyttävästi. Seuraavalla kerralla tullessamme etsimme hänet ehdottomasti uudelleen, hahaha.

Our trip to Northern Xinjiang was truly wonderful and relaxing! I have to give a big shout-out to Master Ma Xiaole and our travel butler, Xiao Fu; both of them were incredibly reliable and thoughtful! Master Xiaole took such meticulous care of us throughout the journey. He always proactively helped us with our luggage when getting in and out of the car, no matter how much we had. He's such a great person. At every hotel, he would specifically help us check the room's facilities to ensure everything was in order before letting us settle in. His attention to detail was incredible, making us feel completely safe and secure! Xiaole also has a fantastic personality—he's cheerful and enthusiastic. We had so much fun chatting and laughing along the way; there was never an awkward or dull moment. He was also incredibly kind and helped us take many beautiful photos. At each location, he recommended many delicious local eateries and fun places that even locals frequent! I also have to commend our travel butler, Xiao Fu; she was truly meticulous and warm-hearted! She constantly sent us various practical travel tips throughout the trip, always checking in on us. She would even remind us in advance about local temperature changes so we could adjust our clothing accordingly, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we encountered issues with our accommodation during the trip, Xiao Fu responded very quickly. She immediately helped us contact the local accommodation, patiently communicated and understood the situation, and handled everything promptly and securely. She was always thinking of us! We were so lucky to have met Master Xiaole and the thoughtful butler Xiao Fu on this trip. We felt so relaxed and happy! For our next grassland adventure, I'll definitely be looking to travel with them again in Northern Xinjiang!

We truly appreciate the travel agency's service in Southern Xinjiang. Our guide, Xiao Hui, was incredibly attentive, keeping us updated daily on our itinerary and important details via WeChat. Our driver, Ya Dong, was excellent; he was completely accommodating to our frequent requests to stop for photos, even though it affected his schedule and rest time, and he never complained. He also took us to try delicious and affordable local food. The airport transfer driver, Xiao Huang, was very punctual and engaging. The only area for improvement was the late communication regarding the itinerary contact person. We only received notification from Southern Xinjiang two days before departure. I tried to contact Klook, but it was difficult to find their contact information. It would be much better to receive this information a week before departure, as it allows for proper planning. Overall, I would recommend this tour to friends. All the attractions we visited were absolutely stunning.

Our driver, Yang Wei, was absolutely fantastic! Incredibly and super good!!! He helped us carry all sorts of luggage, drove very steadily without any discomfort along the way, took us to clean restrooms, and on top of the itinerary, he told us where the scenery was less crowded and more beautiful. He took very nice photos for us and, knowing we were from Guangdong, quietly adjusted the playlist to be more youthful and Cantonese. On the last day, he even remembered our coffee preferences and bought us coffee (touched TUT) and drinks! He took care of us along the way in a subtle and thoughtful manner. We are truly very, very grateful! The overall itinerary was well-arranged, and all the items mentioned in the order were fulfilled. There was a mistake with the accommodation one night by the local travel agency, but they provided compensation. We hope that future communication can be more careful.
