A $28 Flight Across China?! My $250 Solo Trip to Altay, Xinjiang

Can a $28 flight really take me across China? I traveled over 4,000 km from eastern China to Altay in far northwestern Xinjiang, challenging myself to complete a 4-day, 3-night solo trip on a total budget of just $250. Cheap flights, food carried from home, budget guesthouses, an overnight sleeper train, and even a night at the airport—this was definitely not a luxury trip. But along the way, I found snow-covered landscapes, the breathtaking scenery of Kanas, unexpected encounters, and an experience worth far more than the money I spent. This is the complete, remastered version of my budget journey through Altay. English and Chinese subtitles are available. #Altay #Xinjiang #ChinaTravel #BudgetTravel #SoloTravel
