🌄 Warm Tips
Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night; it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket and comfortable hiking shoes.
Local time follows Beijing time, but daily routines are about 2 hours later than inland China (e.g., work starts at 10 AM, lunch at 2 PM).
Some sections have high altitudes (e.g., Karakul Lake, Duku Highway); it is recommended to learn about measures to cope with altitude sickness in advance.
Please bring valid identification documents for accommodation and scenic spot checks along the way.
✨ This 16-day journey is not a rushed check-in but an immersive slow travel experience. On the ‘Ease,’ you can watch the Gobi sunset from the observation window, raise a glass and chat in the bar car, ride horses on Nalati Grassland (self-funded activity), and touch the thousand-year-old brick walls in Kashgar Old City — the pace is yours to control, with scenery accompanying you all the way.
