The cost of a 17-day trip to Xinjiang varies due to factors such as travel style, itinerary, accommodation standards, and personal consumption habits, and a definite figure cannot be given. However, you can refer to the following situations to roughly understand the cost range:?
Self-drive travel for a family of four: Based on actual experiences during the 2024 summer vacation, the total cost for a 17-day self-drive trip to Xinjiang for a family of four (including all costs except for dining and souvenirs) will include expenses such as transportation, tickets, and hotels. The specific amount is not given in detail, but it can be inferred that it will be relatively high, as self-drive travel usually involves additional expenses such as vehicle rental, fuel costs, and highway tolls.?
17-day tour of Southern Xinjiang: Although the total cost is not directly given, information such as ticket discounts, accommodation upgrades, and food recommendations is mentioned. It can be inferred that if higher standards of accommodation and dining are chosen, the overall cost will also increase accordingly. At the same time, Southern Xinjiang has numerous attractions, and ticket costs are also a non-negligible part.?
Travel agency quotation: Xinjiang Universal International Travel Agency provides quotations for various Xinjiang tourism products, such as an 8-day Yili light photography tour and a 6-day 5-night small group tour of Pamir. Although these quotations are not directly for a 17-day tour, they can be used as a reference to estimate the cost range for a 17-day tour. For example, the cost for a carpooling small group tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang for 22 days and 21 nights starts at RMB 9,800, so the cost for a 17-day tour may be lower than this amount, but the specific cost needs to be determined based on the itinerary and number of people.?
Solo travel guide and special train quotation: A solo travel guide mentions a total cost of RMB 8,000-9,000 for a 17-day trip to Xinjiang (including transportation costs of approximately RMB 1,800 for entering and leaving Xinjiang), while the quotation for a 17-day special train tour of Northern Xinjiang is RMB 4,880 per person. These two quotations are relatively low, possibly reflecting different travel styles and accommodation standards.?
Self-drive travel cost for a family of three: Based on the actual cost of a 17-day trip to Xinjiang for a family of three (RMB 22,000), it can be inferred that if you travel to Xinjiang by self-drive and choose medium or above standards for accommodation and dining, the overall cost may reach or exceed this amount.?
In summary, the cost of a 17-day trip to Xinjiang varies due to multiple factors, and an exact figure cannot be given. It is recommended to choose an appropriate itinerary and quotation based on your budget, travel style, and time planning.?
