The 8-day in-depth group tour offered by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, with its design of “small group size + no compulsory shopping”, not only resolves cumbersome issues like transportation, accommodation, and tickets but also retains space for free exploration, making it a popular choice for current Xinjiang tourism.
