A 70-year-old woman embarked on a solo camper journey through the remote areas of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The route traversed sparsely populated territories with extreme conditions. The exact duration is not specified, but the trip lasted several weeks.

Earlier, a guide to road trips in Xinjiang was published, based on personal experience from three trips. It describes three routes for RVs and campers, including the Ili grasslands, the Duku Highway, and southern Xinjiang through the Taklamakan Desert to the Pamirs.
