Its route spans the core areas of northern and southern Xinjiang, covering natural wonders and cultural landscapes. The northern Xinjiang section links Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Colorful Beach, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and the central-southern section of the Duku Highway; the southern Xinjiang section delves into Turpan, Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau (including Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Golden Grass Beach, and Stone City), and more.
The train body incorporates elements of Yellow River culture, and the interior decoration references Central Plains cultural symbols, earning it the nickname ‘a walking cultural exhibition hall.’ The entire train features soft-sleeper cabin designs, equipped with bathrooms, anti-slip floors, accessible handrails, and soundproofing materials, balancing comfort and convenience. Additionally, there are multi-functional cars integrating audio-visual entertainment, board games, socializing, and meeting functions, along with a dedicated dining car and chef team to ensure meal quality during the journey.
