Transportation Expenses?
Xinjiang is a vast region with distant attractions, resulting in relatively high transportation costs. For example, a round-trip flight from Urumqi to Kanas may cost 1000-2000 yuan. Choosing a train and then transferring to a bus takes a long time and is not cheap. If you rent a car for self-driving, in addition to the rental fee, fuel and tolls are also considerable expenses.?
Accommodation Expenses?
During the peak tourist season, hotel and homestay prices in Xinjiang generally increase. Around popular scenic areas such as Kanas and Hemu, an ordinary homestay may cost 300-800 yuan per night, while a slightly better hotel may cost over 1000 yuan. Even in a city like Urumqi, a slightly better hotel will cost around 400-600 yuan during the peak season.?
Dining Expenses?
Xinjiang cuisine is abundant but not cheap. A regular bowl of noodles with sauce costs around 20-30 yuan, and a portion of big plate chicken is around 80-150 yuan. If you taste local specialties such as roast whole sheep or hand-grabbed meat, the cost will be higher. Coupled with various local snacks and fruits, dining expenses cannot be underestimated.?
Comprehensive Budget?
Considering transportation, accommodation, dining, and possible ticket and entertainment costs, it is recommended to set aside a budget of more than 1000 yuan per day for a more comfortable travel experience in Xinjiang.?
