Top 4 nature & wildlife things to do in Urumqi

1. Private transfer from Urumqi hotel to railway station

Convenient door-to-door transfer from your Urumqi hotel to the railway station, including all fees and surcharges, ideal for avoiding taxi hassles.

2. Romantic highlights of Urumqi with a local guide

Three-hour guided walking tour through Urumqi's most romantic spots, featuring local legends and picturesque locations.

3. Three-day tour of Urumqi, Heavenly Lake, and Turpan

Three days with private transport and guide — explore Urumqi, Heavenly Lake's landscapes, and the historical oasis of Turpan with an English-speaking guide throughout.

“This was the first part of our long-anticipated trip to Southern Xinjiang. We initially planned a day in Turpan before heading to Heavenly Lake on the second day. However, due to a poor weather forecast, Silk Road Travel quickly adjusted our itinerary. This allowed us to visit Heavenly Lake before it closed due to the storm and helped us avoid flight cancellations by arranging an alternative flight from Turpan. Our guide, Victor, was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful, even helping carry our luggage to make our connections. I highly recommend this service.”— 816chitl

4. Urumqi private city tour with English-speaking driver

Half-day tour by private vehicle — visit Xinjiang Regional Museum, Red Hill Park, and Urumqi's largest Bazaar with an English-speaking driver.

“Initially, I had some reservations when I booked, wondering if I had made a mistake or if it was genuine. However, on the day of the tour, everything proved to be authentic and exceptionally arranged. I'm incredibly grateful for the fantastic journey and remarkable experience. Xinjiang is stunning in winter. A special thanks to Leah for perfectly tailoring our tour, as well as to our guide and drivers. Would I recommend this? Absolutely, without a doubt! I intend to return to the same tour operator.”— NinaWan
