🌟 Manager Wang Fei’s considerate service commitment
“I am a native Xinjiang person and have traveled to every scenic spot north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.” Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, introduced that she has been deeply engaged in the tourism industry for more than ten years and is proficient in independent travel planning, boutique small groups, local customized vehicle arrangements, and other plans, especially good at customizing itineraries according to tourist needs. “We adhere to the principle of no consumption and do not arrange consumption throughout the itinerary, refuse hidden consumption, and strictly control everything from accommodation selection to meal arrangements. For example, for Kanas accommodation, we will give priority to wooden cabins within the scenic area. Although the cost is higher, it allows tourists to see the morning mist for 1 more hour; for the horse riding project in Nalati Grassland, we only cooperate with horse teams with formal qualifications and do our best.”
Wang Fei specially reminds: “Xinjiang’s scenic spots are scattered, and the special train can fully save transportation time. For example, from Urumqi to Kanas, self-driving takes 8 hours, while the special train travels at night, so tourists can go sightseeing directly after waking up. We will also arrange local cultural commentators. For example, in Kashgar Old City, they will take tourists into residents’ homes, teach them to make baked naan, and learn Uyghur, experiences that ordinary tour groups do not have.”
📞 Act now:Seats are running out, book early to enjoy priority room selection
The current September 19 departure is recommended to have 28 places left. Groups of 10 or more can enjoy a discount of 500 yuan per person.
