7-Day Northwest Silk Road Poplar Forest Train Tour: Xining-Kashgar Round Trip | Kumbum Monastery, Baisha Lake and Kashgar Ancient City | Pro Photographer & 24h Transfers

This tour took us through some of the most beautiful and remote parts of China. The highlight for me was the off-road expedition through Hami Yardang, which felt like another world. The poplar forest and lakes in the Pamirs were stunning as well. The train rides were comfortable, and the guides were excellent at sharing fascinating history about the Silk Road. Staying in local hotels added to the experience, and the food was top-notch. I couldn't have asked for a better tour.

5-Day Northwest Silk Road Scenic Train Tour: Xining-Dunhuang Round Trip | Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Spring and Chaka Salt Lake | Pro Photographer & 24h Transfers

This tour was absolutely amazing! From the moment we were greeted at the airport in Dunhuang, everything was taken care of. The visit to the Crescent Spring of Mingsha Mountain was breathtaking, and the Mogao Grottoes were a true highlight. The train ride was comfortable, and the food on board was great. The stay at Wanda Vista Ganman Dunhuang was a pleasant surprise – very luxurious. The guides were fantastic and gave us a deep understanding of each place we visited. Highly recommend this experience!

This journey through Xinjiang was absolutely unforgettable! The Silk Road Express train provided a comfortable and scenic way to explore, and the guides were very attentive and knowledgeable. The visits to Kanas Lake and the Tianshan Grand Canyon were highlights, offering breathtaking views that words can't fully describe. The local experiences, like the naan-making workshop, were unique and enriching. I loved every moment and highly recommend this tour!
