‘Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences; even in summer, you need to bring a windbreaker. The UV rays in southern Xinjiang are strong, so sunscreen and sunglasses are essential. Although the special train tour is hassle-free, some scenic spots require a lot of walking, so comfortable sports shoes are recommended. We provide each tourist with a walkie-talkie, and the guide will broadcast the best photo spots in real time, so you won’t miss the beautiful scenery.’
