⚠ ️ Warm Tips
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Daytime temperatures from May to October are suitable, but mountainous and plateau areas are cooler in the morning and evening, so it is recommended to bring windproof and warm clothing.
Some sections (such as the Duku Highway and Pamir Plateau) have high altitudes. If you have special health conditions, please evaluate in advance and inform the travel agency.
Scenic area opening status and train schedules may be affected by railway dispatching or weather. The travel agency will provide the latest confirmed information before departure.
Folk interactions arranged in the itinerary (such as visits to various ethnic families) aim to promote cultural exchange. Just respect local living habits and participate easily.
Choosing the Tianshan Special Train is not about rushing, but about immersion. Travel through snowy mountains, lakes, and ancient cities in a moving ‘star-rated hotel’, using 13 days to slowly understand the vastness and gentleness of Xinjiang.
