[Detailed Itinerary Introduction]
Guozigou Bridge:A Steel Poem in the Clouds
As Xinjiang’s first cable-stayed bridge, the Guozigou Bridge spans a branch of the Tianshan Mountains with a total length of 700 meters and a vertical height of 200 meters from the bridge deck to the valley floor. In spring, snow-capped peaks reflect against a azure sky while wild apricot and apple blossoms burst into bloom beneath the bridge, creating the spectacular scene of ‘the bridge walking through flowers, people strolling through a painting.’ The special train arrives at dawn to avoid crowds, allowing you to capture stunning photos of the bridge framed by flower fields from the observation deck or hike down to the bridge with your guide for an up-close encounter with ‘China’s most beautiful bridge.’
Kazanqi Folk Village:A Living Museum of Ethnic Life
Located in Yining City, Kazanqi preserves one of Northern Xinjiang’s most intact traditional ethnic neighborhoods. Here, you’ll find no commercialized performances—only authentic urban life: blue-doored and -windowed residences, the clinking of artisan workshops, children laughing as they chase through alleys… Ride a traditional ‘hadik’ (horse-drawn carriage) through the streets, visit century-old homes while listening to family histories from their owners, handpick hand-embroidered Atlas silk at the bazaar, or learn to bake nang bread under a master’s guidance—feel the warmth of ‘slow living.’
Sayram Lake:The Last Tear Drop of the Atlantic (Upgraded Bonus)

[8-Day Northern Xinjiang Special Train Tour: A Poetic Journey Exploring the Guozigou Bridge and Kazanqi Folk Village]Choose a spring departure (April-May) and receive a complimentary half-day tour of Sayram Lake. Here, ice sheets begin to crack, blending blue ice with turquoise waters while distant snow-capped peaks mirror perfectly on the surface—a true ‘Northern Xinjiang spring superstar.’ Stroll along the lakeside trail or opt for a paid horseback ride to encounter naturally growing swans, wild ducks, and other wildlife.
