About:Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar

Great site. Great service. Thank you! I am visiting Xinjiang at the end of June with a small group of fellow teachers.Starting in Urumqi, going north first then to Kashgar (and others). I am English and have a Chinese driving licence (from Beijing). Can I hire a car in Xinjiang (Urumqi and Kashgar)? I read that we may need an official guide if we are travelling (driving) around independently. Is this true? Thanks for your help.

An official guide will help you a lot if you are travelling around independently, otherwise, you may be in trouble.

Thanks for your reply Mrs Lee. I have just seen it, sorry for the delay. Do you mean I'd have official trouble e.g police, local officials etc? Or do you mean we will have problems getting good prices for hotels, camel rides etc? Do you know if I can hire a car while I'm there?

Hi, Richard, suggest you hire a car with local driver or do not do that at all. It is complicated and troublesome for an expats in Xijina to hire a car. There are contract, testing the car and a Xinjiang local as warrantor. I have no idea about the official guide. I guess Lee means a guide will kept you safe and convenient to travel there. If you want to travel alone, be cautious.
