My daughter and I had the pleasure of having Qing as our tour guide. We had a great experience. Qing was very knowledgeable and added funny commentary to engage my 9 year old daughter, whom is not interested in History (yet)! We learned a lot about Chinese history and culture, with the added benefit of being allowed to take ample time to take a multitude of pictures. Qing has hosted this tour for many years, so she provided us with tips to take the most flattering shots in this historical venue. I would definitely recommend Qing when taking this tour. We will remember this experience forever.

A wonderful journey along the Silk Road in Xinjiang. We did the 13-day South Xinjiang Tour from Kashgar to Urumqi. Before booking, Lesley gave us first-class advice and information about the numerous options in Xinjiang. The guide/driver was excellent and really knowledgeable about all the places we visited along the route (3,000+km). He smoothed the way with all the bureaucracy and really made the travelling enjoyable. All in all, we saw so many beautiful diverse things in Xinjiang and had a really amazing holiday. Could not have asked for more from Silk Road Travel.
