🍜 Meal Arrangements:The itinerary includes corresponding days of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Along the way, you can enjoy Xinjiang specialties like big plate chicken, hand-grabbed rice, baked buns, and milk tea, without needing to find restaurants yourself.
👩💼 Accompanying Services:A dedicated tour guide accompanies the entire trip, with pre-booked attraction tickets and onboard medical staff to handle any issues promptly.
🏨 Accommodation Experience:The train accommodation is combined with land hotels. The land hotels are carefully selected for comfort. The entire trip uses fixed train berths, eliminating the need to repeatedly pack luggage and change transport, saving effort and worry.
🚗 Itinerary Planning:Using a ‘night travel, day sightseeing’ logic, long-distance travel is done during nighttime rest, leaving full days for sightseeing. This avoids spending most of the time on the road, covering key attractions in both Northern and Southern Xinjiang in one trip without needing multiple separate trips.
