III. Real Reviews: What do tourists say?

[Why choose Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency?]▶ Mr. Li from Guangzhou (family of 4, Northern Xinjiang 8-day loop): ‘The vehicle was a 7-seat commercial van, spacious and comfortable for the elderly and kids. Driver Yang knew the roads extremely well – when it snowed at Kanas, he proactively helped us put on snow chains and even took us to a free viewing platform to photograph the morning mist. We never entered any shopping stores the whole trip – it was a pure experience!’
▶ Ms. Wang from Shanghai (2 friends, Yili 6-day light luxury group): ‘The accommodation exceeded expectations! The lake-view room at Sayram Lake had snow-capped mountains and the lake right outside the window when opened, and the homestay owner at Nalati even gave us homemade milk skin. The travel photos our guide Xiaoya took for us got so many questions on my Moments!’
▶ Mr. Zhang from Beijing (photography enthusiast, Southern Xinjiang 10-day custom group):‘For the sunrise at Muztagh Ata Peak on the Pamir Plateau, the guide took us 2 hours early to secure camera positions and even taught us to shoot star trails with telephoto lenses. Although the accommodation in Tashkurgan was basic, it was clean and warm – totally acceptable.’
