Welcome to Xinjiang Travel Guide — your trusted resource for planning a trip to Xinjiang, China’s largest and most culturally diverse region.
Who We Are
We are a team of travel writers and China-based travel professionals with first-hand experience traveling across Xinjiang. Having spent years exploring the region — from the bustling bazaars of Kashgar to the serene shores of Heavenly Lake — we created this site to help foreign travelers navigate Xinjiang with accurate, practical, and up-to-date information.
Why Trust Us
Most Xinjiang travel information online is outdated, overly generic, or written by people who have never set foot in the region. We take a different approach:
- First-hand experience: Our content is based on actual travel across Xinjiang — not copied from other websites.
- Regular updates: Travel requirements, transportation, and accommodation options in Xinjiang change frequently. We update our guides regularly to reflect the current situation.
- Practical focus: We prioritize the information you actually need — visa requirements, transportation options, real costs, safety considerations, and cultural etiquette.
- Independent perspective: We are not affiliated with any tour group or hotel chain. Our recommendations are based on what we genuinely believe is best for travelers.
What You’ll Find Here
Our goal is to answer every question a foreign traveler might have about visiting Xinjiang:
- Is it safe to travel to Xinjiang?
- Do I need a special permit or visa?
- What is the best time to visit?
- How do I get around (flights, trains, buses)?
- Where should I go — Urumqi, Kashgar, Turpan, or beyond?
