Starred Icon: 6-Day In-Depth Tour of Northern Xinjiang:Customized transportation to visit ethnic villages, immersing yourself in the local lifestyle
[Route Highlights:Why choose this itinerary?]
The charm of Northern Xinjiang lies not only in its snow-capped mountains and grasslands but also in the ethnic villages scattered among the mountains. In 2026, we have specially designed a ‘non-scenic spot’ in-depth route that avoids crowded popular check-in points and takes you into the primitive villages inhabited by various ethnic groups, including the Tuva people. Here, you can learn to milk cows with locals, make naan with artisans, listen to old artists play the dombra, and even participate in a traditional wedding—these vivid local life scenes are the most touching scenery in Northern Xinjiang.
The itinerary adopts a ‘customized transportation + guide’ model, forming a group with just 4 people, allowing flexible changes in pace. The vehicle is a 7-seater business van equipped with snow chains, first aid kits, and other emergency supplies. The drivers are local veterans with over 5 years of driving experience, familiar with every mountain path. There are no arranged shopping stops throughout the journey; all time is reserved for experience and exploration.
