“Hello, our trip finally comes to an end. We have had a great experience traipsing the section of northern Xinjiang. It’s a beautiful country! I wish we had more time to spend in each area.Leah, thank you so much for organizing the trip for us, your suggestion of spending more time in each area is spot on, considering we are travelling with an elderly. My mom would have been too tired driving everyday. Xinjiang is a huge province! Dushanzi, Tian Shan Tianchi need more time to explore (well, I speak for myself, my family is okay 😁).Thank you for answering all my questions promptly, I really appreciate it. Will definitely recommend Silk Road travel to whoever ask me. Are you also organizing trips outside Silk Road? Like to North East area like Hebei, Harbin, etc?You assigned us a great driver with friendly disposition and willingness to help. Kan Wei went beyond his job to help us settled down in each place, answering our endless questions, and got us to the right place each time. He is polite, helpful, well mannered, respectful, trustworthy and punctual. The best driver we have had!! We had a great trip due to his professionalism.Thank me to both Leah and Kan Wei!! The trip is memorable because of you two.”
