Having resided in Xinjiang for five years, I consider myself quite acquainted with its intricacies. Today, I present to you this exhaustive travel guide, encompassing all aspects of your stay in this magnificent region – from accommodation to dining and transportation. It’s a must-have for your trip, so bookmark it and make it your own! 😉
Is Independent Travel Possible? Absolutely! However, it’s suitable for those who enjoy solitude, possess a certain level of life experience, and have a flexible travel schedule. Keep in mind that Xinjiang is vast, with considerable distances between attractions, making independent travel more feasible within urban areas.
When Should You Choose a Group Tour? If you don’t want to spend a lot of time and energy planning your trip or if you’re making your first visit to Xinjiang and want a hassle-free experience, especially if traveling with elderly family members or children, a group tour might be a better option.
Transportation Options:
🔸 Urumqi Diwopu Airport: Serving as the hub of Xinjiang, most flights will land here. With abundant transportation options, it’s convenient for accessing both northern and southern Xinjiang.
🔸 Yining Airport: Ideal for travelers who plan to explore the Ili region exclusively.
🔸 Kashgar Airport: Perfect for those focusing on the areas surrounding Kashgar or those completing a grand loop of Xinjiang, opting for entry through Urumqi and exit via Kashgar.
