From the red rock walls of the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the thousand-year-old water wisdom of the Karez irrigation system; from the Danxia wonders of the Kuqa Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon to the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; to the green carpet of the Nalati Sky Grassland, the azure mirror of Sayram Lake, and the morning mist and smoke of Hemu Village — each stop is like turning a page of a magnificent painting.
The areas the train passes through include various landforms: desert edges, oasis cities, alpine lakes, river valley grasslands, and border scenery, showcasing the rich layers of Xinjiang’s geography. The itinerary design emphasizes pace control, with daily sightseeing lasting about 6–8 hours, and proper rest arranged at noon, balancing comfort and experience.
It is worth mentioning that the entire train has no hard seats and recommends sleeper carriages, with 8 carriages offering various room types such as four-person, double-person, and even single cabins based on different needs.
