💬 Real feedback from travelers
Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou shared: ‘I just finished a nine-day southern Xinjiang tour. From the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar Old Town to the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, from the vastness of the Taklamakan Desert to the majesty of Tomur Canyon, the scenery along the way was picturesque. What truly brought this painting to life was our driver-guide, Sima Yigong. Over nine days together, he proved to be not just an ‘old driver’ but our ‘living map’ and ‘know-it-all’ in Xinjiang — steady, patient, and knowledgeable, making the entire journey reassuring and fulfilling.’
Similar reviews can be found across multiple platforms, with many travelers noting that local driver-guides greatly enhanced the travel experience through recommendations of hidden viewpoints, dining suggestions, and cultural background explanations.
