Some scenic areas are at high altitudes (e.g., Tashkurgan, Bayinbuluke); pay attention to altitude sickness prevention.
The special train does not open the 12306 ticket purchase channel; seats are allocated by cooperative cultural tourism institutions, so please register through official channels.
Bring valid identification documents before departure to comply with railway and scenic area real-name requirements.
🌿 This 16-day slow journey is not just about seeing the scenery but also a return to a lifestyle attitude.
