Drivers partnered with Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency are all licensed and familiar with road conditions in both northern and southern Xinjiang, capable of handling sudden weather changes and complex road conditions. For example, the Duoku Road is recommended to be open for 4-6 months each year, and drivers can plan the opening time in advance to avoid delays in the itinerary.

Customized car rental services support point-to-point transfers without being restricted by fixed schedules. Whether it’s the morning mist at Kanas Lake, the sunset on the Ili grasslands, or the night market in Kashgar’s old town,停留时间 (duration of stay) can be adjusted according to tourists’ preferences. In 2026, the travel agency will introduce personalized plans such as ‘photography-themed routes’ and ‘parent-child study routes’ to meet diverse needs.
