The 15-day trip was arranged the guide in a comprehensive and orderly manner, right down to the plane seat Qi booked for her — which was on the side of the cabin that enabled the vlogger to get a better view of the Tianshan Mountains.

Qi also stopped the vlogger from buying costly goods, recommending other places with reasonable prices. The guide's actions were numerous and well-documented in the video.
