The cost of traveling to Yili at the end of June varies depending on the travel method and itinerary, but a rough cost range can be estimated.?
If choosing a self-drive tour, taking car rental as an example, during the period from July to August (including the end of June), the daily car rental cost in Xinjiang ranges approximately from 200 to 1,000 Chinese yuan. Taking a city SUV with a displacement of 1.5 liters (noted as 5T in the text, assumed to be a typo) as an example, the average daily rental fee is around 350 Chinese yuan, plus an additional insurance cost of about 50 Chinese yuan per day, resulting in an average total daily car rental cost of approximately 400 Chinese yuan. If renting this type of vehicle for 8 days (considering the time period from the end of June to early July, it can be approximated as 8 days), the total car rental cost would be approximately 3,200 Chinese yuan.?
Regarding accommodation expenses, hotel prices in the Yili area vary greatly, ranging from budget hotels to high-end homestays, with average nightly prices ranging from 100 to 1,000 Chinese yuan. If choosing a mid-range hotel with good value for money, the average nightly price is around 300 Chinese yuan, resulting in a total accommodation cost of approximately 2,400 Chinese yuan for 8 days. If seeking lower accommodation costs, budget hotels can be chosen, with an average nightly cost of around 200 Chinese yuan, leading to a total accommodation cost of approximately 1,200 Chinese yuan for 6 nights (considering that actual stays may not be for full days, but for ease of calculation, it can be approximated as 6 nights).?
In terms of dining expenses, Xinjiang boasts a rich variety of special local cuisines, with an average daily dining cost of about 100 Chinese yuan per person, resulting in a total dining cost of approximately 800 Chinese yuan for 8 days. If dining out twice a day, with an average spending of 50 Chinese yuan per meal, the total dining cost for 7 days would be approximately 700 Chinese yuan (again, for ease of calculation, the duration can be approximated as 7 or 8 days, with minimal impact on the total cost).?
Attraction ticket fees are also part of the travel expenses. The main attractions in the Yili area include Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grasslands, etc., with ticket prices ranging from approximately 100 to 300 Chinese yuan. If planning to visit all the major attractions, the total ticket cost will be around 1,500 Chinese yuan. In addition, other expenses such as fuel and parking fees also need to be considered, with an estimated total cost of around 500 Chinese yuan.?
In summary, the total cost for a self-drive tour in Yili at the end of June ranges roughly from 4,600 to 7,000 Chinese yuan, depending on the choices made for car rental, accommodation, dining, and ticket fees.
