The most comprehensive itinerary covering both Northern and Southern Xinjiang — a no-shopping tour with full upgrades to five-star and boutique specialty hotels!
◆ Duku Highway — Recognized as one of the most beautiful roads in China and the world. One side borders mountains while the other follows rivers, featuring dramatic and challenging terrain. The spectacular highway winds through the 3,900-meter-high Tielimaiti Tunnel, China’s highest-altitude tunnel. Along the way, admire breathtaking scenery including snow-capped peaks, valleys, grasslands, gorges, cliffs, deserts, glaciers, oases, and alpine forests — a true masterpiece of nature where you can experience the majestic beauty of the Tianshan Mountains and the fascinating contrast between the north and south.
◆ Kanas National Nature Reserve — A true paradise on earth, often called the “Oriental Switzerland.” Explore the most beautiful alpine lakes of the Altai Mountains, including Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, Fairy Bay, and Duck Marsh Lake, among other iconic scenic spots.
◆ Pamir Plateau Snow Mountains — “Pamir” means “Roof of the World” in Tajik. This was once the legendary route traveled by Marco Polo and the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang during their historic journeys through China.
◆ Kashgar Old Town — A must-visit landmark of Kashgar with over 2,100 years of history, and one of the largest existing clusters of earth-built architecture in the world. The Old Town serves as a living museum of Eastern and Western cultural fusion, often described as the “Living Memory of the Silk Road.”
◆ Aitigar Mosque — A magnificent Islamic architectural complex rich in ethnic and religious heritage, the Aitigar Mosque is the largest Islamic place of worship in both Xinjiang and all of China.
◆ Karakul Lake — A glacial moraine lake situated at an altitude of 3,600 meters. It lies beneath the “Three Heroes of the Kunlun Mountains” — Muztagh Ata, Kongur Tagh, and Kongur Jiubie Peaks — which are beautifully reflected in the lake’s crystal waters, creating a stunning scene of sacred mountains and holy lake.
◆ China–Pakistan Friendship Highway (Karakoram Highway) — Also known as the Karakoram Highway, this international route connects western China and Pakistan. It passes through the deep valleys between the Kunlun and Karakoram mountain ranges, following the ancient path of the Silk Road.
◆ Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves — Nestled against the Mingwutage Mountains and facing the Weigan River, this is one of China’s earliest and largest groups of Buddhist grottoes, world-famous for its brilliantly colored murals.
◆ Hemu Tuvan Village — The last settlement of the Tuvan people, known as “God’s Back Garden” and often praised as the most beautiful village in China. Hemu is surrounded by wildflowers and stunning natural scenery that looks like a fairytale come to life.

It was overall a wonderful experience for us traveling the first time with GOGO. Food was exceptional throughout the trip and our tour guide not only knowledgeable about the places on the itinerary, he also did a great job in keeping us safe and entertained. My wife was so touched seeing a birthday cake delivered to our table while dining.
Our first impression with GoGo is a good one. Had we planned for the same trip ourselves, we could have ended up paying more. We’ll certainly be repeating with GoGo for more trips in the near future.
