It features a double-decker design, equipped with a themed dining car, chess and card area, karaoke stage, and starry sky cinema. At night, classic films like “Visitors on the Icy Mountain” are played to create an immersive cultural atmosphere.
The itinerary spans northern, central, and southern Xinjiang, covering:
Natural Wonders:Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Colorful Beach, Baisha Lake, Tianchi Lake of Tianshan, Duku Highway (depending on seasonal opening), Lavender Manor;
Cultural Experiences:Kashgar Old City, Id Kah Mosque, Restan Street, Lop Nur Village, Karez Irrigation System;
Special Transportation Combination:Travel deep into scenic spots by tourist bus during the day, return to the special train to rest at night, luggage stays on the train throughout, eliminating the hassle of frequent luggage moving.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the route design fully considers the altitude adaptation rhythm—starting from lower-altitude Urumqi and Turpan, gradually transitioning to the Pamir Plateau area to reduce the risk of physical discomfort. At the same time, the entire journey is equipped with accompanying medical staff and emergency oxygen equipment to ensure a safe trip.
