▶ 18-Day North and South Xinjiang Itinerary (starting and ending in Guangzhou)💡 Professional service explanation (personal account by Manager Wang Fei)
“As a native Xinjiang local, when leading the team to design this route, I paid special attention to three details:
1️⃣ Pace control:Arrange 1-2 core scenic spots per day to avoid a hurried sightseeing style. For example, reserve 3 hours of free activity time in Hemu Village
2️⃣ Comfort assurance:The train uses an oxygen supply system to relieve altitude sickness, and the dining car provides non-Halal and Halal menus
3️⃣ Cultural immersion:Arrange 5 in-depth experience projects such as family visits to people of all ethnic groups and handicraft making of people of all ethnic groups”
⚠ ️Important reminders and disclaimer
1️⃣ Policy changes:Xinjiang scenic area ticket policies may change, and the final announcement of the scenic area on the day shall prevail
2️⃣ Weather response:The rainy season in Ili from July to August may affect passage on the Duku Highway. The itinerary may be changed upon mutual agreement
3️⃣ Force majeure:In case of natural disasters or policy-based park closures, unused fees will be refunded, with no additional compensation
