Description
Located in China’s most far-flung northwest corner is Xinjiang province – the country’s largest province occupying 1/6 of its total land area, and may very well be the country’s last frontier. This vast and sparsely populated land is one of China’s earliest contact points with the western world, but today it is perhaps one of the least explored areas by world travelers. Very often, travelers who do manage to travel to Xinjiang will be in disbelieve that they are traveling in China due to the stunning contrast of landscapes and cultures from those of the central plains. Boasting a colorful history as an important part of the Silk Road, diverse landscape of deserts, Gobi, snow-bound mountains, and grasslands, as well as the mix of different cultures and religions in the area, it is truly a gem for adventure seekers and mindful travelers alike .
Let our Grand Circular Xinjiang Adventure be your vehicle for exploring this fascinating region!
Note:
Depending on the number of days you have available, this journey can be altered by reducing the number of days to 7 days if your interest is just the Southern area of the province. We'll be happy to assist you according to your needs and interests.
