⚠ ️ VI. Important Notes
Some scenic areas in Xinjiang (such as Baihaba and Taxkorgan) belong to border management areas, and a “Border Management Area Permit” (permit) must be processed in advance. It is recommended to consult the local public security department or the travel agency for assistance and guidance before departure.
Mountain roads such as the Duku Highway and Yizhao Highway have annual opening times affected by snow accumulation, usually opening in early June and closing in mid-to-late October, subject to announcements by traffic departments.
Customized vehicle itineraries have a relatively free pace, but daily driving time is recommended to be controlled within 6 hours to avoid fatigued driving and ensure safety and experience.
All ethnic group names in itinerary descriptions are uniformly expressed as “all ethnic groups,” respecting multiculturalism and focusing on the natural and cultural landscapes themselves.
Choosing a formal travel agency to coordinate customized vehicle services is recommended not only because vehicles and drivers can have legal operating qualifications as much as possible, but also because timely response and coordination support can be obtained when itinerary changes occur suddenly. For travelers visiting Xinjiang for the first time, unfamiliar with road conditions, or hoping to focus on sightseeing rather than worrying about transportation, this is a travel method that balances flexibility and protection. Specific departure dates, remaining seats, and quotations shall be subject to actual consultation and contract confirmation.
