Hi,what can we do during month of January? plan to go there from 24 Jan to 26 Jan 2013.
Urumqi is one of the most important cities along the Silk Road. There are some historical places we can visit without much relation to the cold weather, such as Erdaoqian Market, Xinjiang Museum, Xinjiang Silk Road Museum, Red Hill, etc. Would you need us to arrange a private tour with private car/driver and English-speaking guide for you? How many people will travel together in your group? Ruby Zhao Replied on 2012-11-26
