📌 Warm Tips
Xinjiang is vast, with distances between scenic spots often spanning hundreds of kilometers. It is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance to avoid additional costs from last-minute changes.
Summer daylight can last over 16 hours; some scenic spots (e.g., Sayram Lake, Nalati) have flexible visiting times, and overtime may incur extra fees. It is advisable to discuss the day’s schedule with the driver in advance.
Mountain sections like the Duku Highway have seasonal traffic policies; be sure to confirm whether your travel dates fall within the open period.
If you plan to visit Xinjiang in the summer or autumn of 2026, it is recommended to contact customer service early to reserve a vehicle, as resources are tight during peak season, and early confirmation is more reliable.
