XINJIANG 360 by Mr. Vincent WONG

Xinjiang, officially know as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), is a fantastic travel destination, offering breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural diversity and unique experiences. From snowcapped mountains, picturesque lakes to vast deserts, its natural beauty is unparalleled. Xinjiang is also a cultural melting pot with multiple ethnic groups like the Uyghurs, Kazakhs and Mongolians, each offering their vibrant traditions and delicious cuisine. The history and development of the old and new Silk Road also add another layer of fascination. This travel talk will try to offer a 360-degree coverage of this amazing land to include its geography, geology, climate, population, history, economic activities, as well as a virtural visit to many of the key tourist destinations which are unforgettable.

Testimonials from participants of previous travel talks and study tours led by Vincent:

“Very useful guide for my future trip!”
”Now what I have seen makes much more sense. Thank you!”
