About this trip
Xinjiang is China's largest province, and this 7-day trip covers a good stretch of it, from Kashgar in the far west across to Turpan, Urumqi, and the alpine lake at Tianchi.
You move between cities by a mix of overnight train and car, which keeps things practical and keeps costs down. It's a budget-focused route, so expect a straightforward, no-frills way of covering a lot of ground.
The pace is easy and the group is partially guided, so there's room to explore each stop at your own speed alongside some structured days.
