The entire route covers classic destinations such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Tianshan Tianchi, balancing natural wonders and historical features.
The train features customized carriage designs, incorporating Central Plains cultural elements like Yangshao painted pottery and Longmen Grottoes, earning it the reputation of a ‘walking cultural station’. Carriages are equipped with soundproofing materials, double-layer panoramic windows, constant-temperature toilets, wet-dry separate shower rooms, and medical functional areas with accompanying medical staff, making it especially suitable for elderly tourists and families who value comfort and safety.
Multi-functional carriages integrate KTV, chess and cards, tea art, and audio-visual entertainment.
