Cost of chartered bus
The cost of chartered bus tour in Xinjiang is higher than other places. The reason is simple: Xinjiang is long and costly.
The average five-seater car costs about 1000-1200 yuan a day, which includes the driver's labor, fuel, tolls. It does not include the driver's room and board. If the hotel is booked by the travel agency, the hotel and the travel agency have a companion room agreement, some are free, some only charge 80-100 yuan bed fee, more cost-effective. This charter fee basically does not limit the number of kilometers per day, as long as you do not drive the night car is no problem.
The cost of a 5-seat SUV is slightly higher, around 100-150 yuan per day. The general models are domestic Haval, Yellow Sea, Landwind or joint venture Hyundai, Kia and so on.
5-seater SUVs are more expensive, such as the often-used Toyota Kurusawa. The average price is about 1600-1900 yuan a day. It's also all-inclusive.
2010-2010, Xinjiang scenic area tickets are expensive, most scenic spots have shuttle buses. The price of all tickets plus shuttle buses for the Kanas Loop is around 900 yuan, and the Ili Grassland Loop is around 700 yuan, so the price of all tickets plus shuttle buses for the Northern Xinjiang Loop is around 1600 yuan.
In 2010 to 2010, the accommodation in Xinjiang was relatively low compared to the mainland, especially the attractions. But the price is not low at all, especially in July/August/September peak season in Xinjiang, the scenic area accommodation is ridiculously expensive. Kanas scenic area can be considered a three-star standard, a night of about 800-1000 yuan / room, four-star about 1500 yuan. Hotel accommodation along the way, three-star standard is usually around 280-400/$. So you are budgeting for accommodation costs, according to the 200 yuan a day budget is more reliable.
Ticket Costs
The food in Xinjiang is based on noodles, supplemented by beef and mutton, with heavy flavors. The most common fast food such as bibimbap (commonly known as ramen), fried noodles, grabbed rice, and pill soup. Usually 20-25 yuan will fill you up. Xinjiang's Sichuan cuisine is also popular, with per capita consumption around 30-50 yuan. It is recommended that the scenic spots are mainly fast food, and do not easily try the so-called specialties. It is very expensive and not always authentic. Instead, there will be some special snacks and food from the cities you pass along the way or some small counties. Drivers usually know drivers can take them to taste.
Accommodation
Plan your route in advance and book your hotel in advance.
Be sure to do a good job before you leave, determine the itinerary, and then implement the accommodation as soon as possible. Because after the arrival of the peak season of tourism in Xinjiang, from inns to five-star hotels, often full. It's best not to have the idea of deciding here.
Don't pick up cheap, just ask the driver.
Some drivers will post private car rentals online, claiming they can help you design your itinerary and book hotels for free. But the reality is often that they temporarily break the contract or hand you over to another driver before departure.
The biggest pitfall of getting a driver to charter a car directly is that there is no guarantee of service during the trip. Once there is a dispute, you can only look at your own nature.
