The itinerary covers snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, oases on the edge of deserts, and historical and cultural districts, showcasing the rich layers of Xinjiang’s nature and humanity.
The train is equipped with two types of carriages: Blue Diamond and Silver Diamond. Some room types come with private bathrooms.
