Ili + Duku Highway 8-day Tour

My first trip to Northern Xinjiang was a full experience of forests, grasslands, snow mountains, and starry skies. I've deeply felt the clear and rainy weather, hail, and the temperatures of all four seasons. I've thoroughly enjoyed authentic Xinjiang cuisine, and I've also gained experience in overtaking flocks of sheep, horses, and cows on the road.
