    Asked on May 7th, 2023

    We are a group from Singapore and Korea. Do we need Visa to fly into China Urumuqi? Is this tour only for local Chinese? Do u have the itinerary for how many km we have to cover on each day? Just to ensure we are fit for the trek.

      May I ask if your team is Chinese, but not Chinese can join the tour. The trip is about 20 kilometers per day, and the meeting place is Yining.
