Xinjiang covers an area of 1.66 million square kilometers, accounting for one-sixth of the country’s total area, which is larger than the combined area of 13 provinces and cities including Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Hunan!
It is said that the most beautiful scenery is on the road. If you want to have a good and comfortable time in Xinjiang, you can choose to travel by chartered bus.
Due to the relatively long distances and longer daily travel times in Xinjiang, the chartered bus prices are relatively higher compared to other regions.
Reference prices for chartered buses in Xinjiang:
The daily cost for a general 5-seat sedan is around 1000-1200 yuan, which includes the driver’s labor fee, fuel fee, and toll fee. It does not include the driver’s board and lodging expenses. If the hotel is booked by the travel agency, the hotel and travel agency have driver’s room agreements, some of which are free, and some only charge a bed fee of 80-100 yuan, which is quite cost-effective. This chartered bus fee basically has no daily mileage limit, as long as it doesn’t run at night, it’s fine.
The cost for a 5-seat SUV is slightly higher, about 100-150 yuan more per day. The general models are domestically produced Harvard, Huanghai, Landwind, or jointly produced Hyundai, Kia, etc.
The price for a 5-seat SUV is higher, such as the frequently used Toyota Land Cruiser, which averages around 1600-1900 yuan per day. It is also an all-inclusive price.
Entrance fee expenses
The entrance fees for scenic areas in Xinjiang are relatively expensive, and most scenic areas have shuttle buses. The total price for all tickets and shuttle buses on the Kanas loop is around 900 yuan, and the total price for the Yili Grassland loop is around 700 yuan. Therefore, the total price for all tickets and shuttle buses on the Northern Xinjiang loop costs about 1600 yuan.
Accommodation expenses
The accommodation conditions in Xinjiang have a certain gap compared to the mainland, especially the accommodation conditions within scenic areas, which are relatively lower. But the prices are not low at all, especially during the peak season in July, August, and September in Xinjiang. The accommodation prices within scenic areas are extremely high. In Kanas Scenic Area, a room that can be considered three-star standard costs about 800-1000 yuan per night, and four-star costs about 1500 yuan; while for hotel accommodation along the way, three-star standard rooms are generally around 280-400 yuan per night. Therefore, when budgeting for accommodation expenses, it is more reliable to budget around 200 yuan per day.
Meal expenses
The diet in Xinjiang mainly consists of wheat-based foods, supplemented by beef and mutton, with a relatively heavy taste. Common fast food includes noodles with sauce (commonly known as hand-pulled noodles), fried noodles, pilaf, meatball soup, etc. Generally, you can get full for 20-25 yuan. Sichuan cuisine is also very common in Xinjiang, with per capita consumption around 30-50 yuan. It is recommended to mainly eat fast food within scenic areas and not to easily try so-called specialties, as the prices are very expensive and they may not be authentic. On the contrary, along the way, passing through cities or some small counties, there will be some special snacks and delicacies. Drivers usually know about them and can ask them to take you there to taste.
