I hold a passport or a Hong Kong / Macau / Taiwan permit. Can I join?

Guests from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan follow the same itinerary as mainland guests. On most Xinjiang itineraries, passport holders (overseas Chinese and foreign nationals) cannot enter certain sections — such as the central and southern Duku Highway and Bayanbulak — and an alternative is arranged. Visiting Tashkurgan requires a border permit, which Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and foreign guests apply for in person. Please check the notes of your chosen itinerary.
