🌄 Quick Overview of Itinerary Highlights
Kanas in Northern Xinjiang is known as the ‘Pure Land on Earth,’ with breathtaking scenery in all four seasons—lush greenery in summer and vibrant foliage in autumn. The newly upgraded 2026 ‘Anyi’ tourist train focuses on ‘slow travel + in-depth exploration,’ connecting the three core landscapes of Tianshan Tianchi, Sayram Lake, and Kanas Lake, along with unique experiences such as visits to ethnic families, horseback riding on grasslands, and峡谷 (canyon) hiking, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the grandeur and culture of Northern Xinjiang over 15 days.
🚂 Detailed Itinerary Introduction
