Dear everyone, we are now at Urumqi Airport waiting to board the flight to Beijing and back to Brunei tomorrow.  


We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lesley, Chandler and Penny, for all the prompt responses in addressing all of our queries and concerns from the time of correspondence, and making suggestions in drawing up  the itinerary, as well as looking after us throughout the whole journey.


Secondly we also like to thank all the tour guides @Wahab @Grace @Omar, for making our visits so smooth, informative, enjoyable and memorable, that we will always remember for years to come.


Our special thanks to our driver, Xiao Tong, for his dedication and commitment in ensuring we travelled safely and comfortably. He has been taking care of us very well especially during the time when we travel without a tour guide.


We have a lot of memories to bring home, and our experience could not be any better.


Thanks again everyone. Wishing you all the very best in everything you do.

Hedin in Xinjiang
2025-03-18

On February 27, 1894, the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin and his party of 4 set out from Osh, crossed the Pamir Plateau south, crossed the Uzberi Pass, and after a difficult journey, arrived at Muztag on April 7. Several attempts to climb the 7,546 metres (24,757 ft) high Muztagata—called the Father of the Glaciers—in the Pamir Mountains were unsuccessful.
