Amazing Xinjiang Strictly speaking, the self-guided tour methods applicable to inland provinces are extremely difficult to implement in Xinjiang. Its unique geographical features and exceptionally rich and scattered content make traveling here extremely expensive. In the subsequent section on transportation, we will demonstrate the reasons for this expense. In an inland province with normal transportation, as a person who believes in self-guided travel, you might be able to reach a place that costs 150 yuan by spending only 15 yuan. You can approach it with curiosity and a meticulous mindset to gather details about scenery, local characteristics, routes, and personal aspects. However, in the vast space of Xinjiang, all of this becomes challenging in an unexpected breadth, as if moving from a garden to a desert. We will discuss equipment in detail in the following text. This equipment is not only physical but also refers to the mental qualities and cognitive level that a person needs to possess when arriving in this land, which is determined by the land itself. Xinjiang is like a place on Earth where some profound and strange elements are fused together. Eastern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and the Tian Shan West Line (Ili Region) are completely different. Even in a very short journey—such as from Korla to Kuche—your perception will be constantly changed by a series of neighboring yet extremely different spaces. In this book, perhaps we can show you some parts of this richness, but not all of it.
