As the saying goes, ‘One hasn’t seen the vastness of China until one has seen Xinjiang; one hasn’t seen the beauty of Xinjiang until one has been there.’ In summer, the snow-capped mountains resemble Switzerland, with spectacular canyons, gentle alpine lakes, beautiful vertical grasslands, and stunning starry skies. Fortunately, I finally made it this time.
I heard that the journey is very long
As a very large autonomous region in China, Xinjiang is so vast that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In 12 days, we traveled 4,000 kilometers, so a daily journey of 400 to 500 kilometers is not a big deal.
How to travel in Xinjiang
Since Xinjiang is really vast, with poor signal, many roads in bad condition, and numerous speed checks, it is very reliable to rent a car with an experienced driver locally. Our driver this time was introduced by a friend who traveled to Xinjiang before. He is Captain Wang from Xinjiang, the leader of the Xinjiang Free-and-Easy Travel Car Rental Team. He has many car teams and drivers in Xinjiang and can provide very reliable car rental services, team reception, and is familiar with routes and scenery. If you are planning to go to Xinjiang and are still reading travel guides, you might consider contacting Captain Guo instead.
He can definitely help you based on the actual situation. Master Guo’s number: (same) 0991-8585456
