This special train spans the Central Plains and the Western Regions, departing from the Yellow River Basin and delving deep into the heart of Xinjiang, connecting the scorching heat of Turpan, the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, the ruggedness of the Duku Highway, the tranquility of Kanas Lake, and the clarity of Tianshan Tianchi.
