This train is not just a means of transport but a mobile living space, departing from the Yellow River basin, heading westward deep into the heart of southern and northern Xinjiang, connecting the heat of Turpan, the depth of Kashgar, the grandeur of the Pamirs, the ruggedness of the Duku Highway, and the tranquility of Tianchi Lake.
