📞 Many friends ask right away:“I want to visit both Northern and Southern Xinjiang together. How should I arrange the customized car rental to make it most suitable?”
As a customer service representative of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, I receive similar inquiries every day. Xinjiang is so vast, with attractions often hundreds of kilometers apart, and many first-time visitors feel a bit overwhelmed. Below, I’ll use a “customer service explanation” guide to clearly explain the routes, vehicle types, prices, and booking methods for customized car tours of Northern and Southern Xinjiang.
🗺 ️ 1. How are Northern and Southern Xinjiang divided? What to see?
Xinjiang is divided by the Tianshan Mountains, and the scenery between the north and south is very different, which is why the “Northern and Southern Xinjiang combined tour” itinerary exists.
🏔 ️ Northern Xinjiang:Focuses on natural scenery
Core experiences:Mountain lakes, forests, grasslands, river valleys, and yardang landforms.
Representative attractions:Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak, Urho Devil City, etc.

Traffic restrictions:Recommended for vehicles with 7 seats or fewer, open for a few months each year (usually June to October, subject to annual announcements).

📞 Many friends ask right away: “I want to visit both Northern and Southern Xinjiang together. How should I arrange the customized car rental to make it most suitable?”🚐 2. Advantages of customized car rental
1. 📏 Handling long distances
Xinjiang’s attractions are scattered; a 10-day trip may involve 400-500 km of driving daily. Customized car rental allows for rest stops anytime, avoiding driving fatigue or strict bus schedules.
2. 📸 Capturing roadside scenery
“The most beautiful scenery is on the road” is fully realized in Xinjiang. Customized car rental allows for stops to take photos, not missing moments like Sayram Lake’s sunrise or Duku Highway’s sea of clouds.
3. 🛣️ Accessing special road sections
Scenic roads like Duku Highway restrict large buses. Choosing a 7-seat business vehicle allows you to experience these “car on the road, people in the painting” sections.
4. 🧭 Having a local guide
Xinjiang’s road conditions are complex; experienced local drivers are not just drivers but also “living maps” and “local guides,” offering practical advice on routes, attractions, and food.

Xinjiang cuisine is mainly lamb and noodles, with strong flavors. Request “less oil and salt” when ordering. Those with sensitive stomachs should bring common medications.
