🌄 Slow down to see Xinjiang – A 14-day in-depth experience on the New National Train with a 4-person soft sleeper compartment
In the vast expanse of Xinjiang, a 5,000-kilometer loop of northern and southern Xinjiang can often leave travelers more exhausted than delighted if relying on self-driving or buses. The ‘New National Train’ tourist special train, with its rhythm of ‘travel by day, sleep by night, train follows travelers,’ brings ease and comfort back to the journey – immerse yourself in scenic spots during the day, sleep soundly in a stable carriage at night, no need to move luggage or switch hotels, truly achieving ‘rest while the scenery doesn’t.’
This special train features customized carriages with a 4-person soft sleeper compartment design, with a fixed berth throughout the entire journey, eliminating the need to change berths. Large luggage can be stored on the train, saving you the hassle of frequent luggage moving. Whether for family trips, gatherings with friends, photography enthusiasts, or senior groups, everyone can experience Xinjiang’s natural grandeur and cultural richness at a relaxed pace.
