The travel expenses in Xinjiang are relatively high. The specific cost depends on multiple factors such as the travel mode, travel season, and number of travel days.?
Impact of travel mode?
Self-drive tour: The expenses for a self-drive tour in Xinjiang include fuel costs, accommodation fees, dining fees, ticket fees, and other expenses such as highway tolls and parking fees. Due to the vast territory of Xinjiang, a self-drive tour often means longer driving distances and higher fuel consumption, so the overall cost will be relatively high. Some say that the daily expenses for a self-drive tour in Xinjiang (fuel, accommodation, meals, tickets) may reach 600 yuan, and a 50-day self-drive tour may cost 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.?
. However, some also say that for a self-drive tour to Xinjiang, using your own car and not counting the round-trip airfare, just considering seven days of travel in Xinjiang, it will probably cost around 8000 to 9000 yuan.?
Group tour: The cost of a group tour is relatively fixed, including board and lodging, tickets, transportation, etc. Depending on the itinerary, the cost will also vary. Some say that with a travel agency to Xinjiang, purely visiting Southern Xinjiang or Northern Xinjiang for about ten days, during special promotions, the cost per person is around 2000 yuan. If you plan to systematically visit both Northern and Southern Xinjiang at one time for about half a month, the budget for a group tour is approximately 7000 yuan.?
Impact of travel season?
Peak season: During the peak season (such as summer), the airfares, local transportation, tickets, food, and accommodation fees in Xinjiang will be relatively high. For example, airfares may reach over 3000 yuan during the peak season, and accommodation fees may also exceed 1000 yuan.?
Off-season: In comparison, the costs during the off-season will be relatively low. Airfares, car rentals, and accommodation fees usually have larger discounts during the off-season.?
Scenic spot ticket prices?
The ticket prices for the major scenic spots in Xinjiang also vary, but overall, the ticket prices are not the main reason for the high travel expenses in Xinjiang. For example, the ticket price for Tianshan Tianchi Scenic Area is 95 yuan, and the ticket price for Tianshan Grand Canyon Scenic Area is 60 yuan, etc.?
In summary, the travel expenses in Xinjiang are relatively high, but the specific cost varies from person to person. When planning a trip to Xinjiang, it is recommended to choose a suitable travel mode and itinerary based on your budget and schedule.?
