Xinjiang Special Train Tour 15-Day Itinerary Registration Guide:Unlock the Moving Scenery of Northern and Southern Tianshan Mountains
🚂 [Itinerary Highlights:Panoramic View of Xinjiang’s Essence]
The Xinjiang Special Train Tour 15-Day Itinerary, centered around the concept of ‘slow travel, deep experience,’ connects three core regions: Urumqi, Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, Yili Grassland, and Kashgar in Southern Xinjiang, covering five major landscapes: snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and deserts. The train features all-soft-sleeper cabins equipped with scenic windows, charging ports, and 24-hour hot water. Night travel saves time, while daytime stops at scenic spots allow for in-depth exploration, resolving the conflict between long-distance travel and deep experiences.
