After entering the Altay region, the train will follow the Irtysh River, China’s only river that flows into the Arctic Ocean, with birch forests and wetland landscapes distributed on both sides.【Optimal Travel Time】
June-August is the optimal viewing period for the grasslands in Northern Xinjiang, and the poplar forests in Southern Xinjiang enter their prime season in mid-to-late September. The special train has specially designed an “off-peak travel” plan to avoid traditional tourism peaks and enhance the comfort of the experience.
【Equipment Suggestions】
It is necessary to prepare sunscreen with an SPF of 50+, sunglasses, warm outerwear (nighttime temperatures in the Sayram Lake area may drop as low as 5°C), and comfortable hiking shoes. The special train provides basic toiletries, but it is recommended to bring personal hygiene products.
【Health Tips】
The itinerary passes through areas above 3,000 meters in altitude (such as Karakul Lake). It is recommended to take Rhodiola rosea 7 days in advance. The special train is equipped with oxygen-making equipment, and staff can be contacted promptly in case of altitude sickness.
【Cultural Etiquette】
When visiting, long pants and long sleeves are required, and women need to wrap their heads with scarves; when communicating with residents of various ethnic groups, avoid asking personal questions such as marital status; obtain consent before taking photos of people.
