The carriages are equipped with bathrooms, noise reduction facilities, and fresh air systems. Each cabin is approximately 7.2 square meters, with beds 0.7 meters wide (wider than standard hard sleepers), and features such as USB charging ports and reading lights. The entire train also includes multi-functional carriages with audio-visual entertainment, board games, karaoke, and reception functions, along with a professional dining car team providing balanced and moderately flavored meals daily, ensuring comfort and dietary quality during the journey.
The route design spans the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, from the oasis civilization of Turpan to the snowy lakes of the Pamir Plateau, from the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway to the forest secrets of Kanas, connecting the core scenic areas of northern and southern Xinjiang. It is especially suitable for family trips, group outings with friends, or middle-aged and elderly travelers who value pace and experience.
