This special train is not just a simple trip but a wonderful experience of traveling through time and experiencing diverse cultures.
Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, with vast territory and complex terrain, featuring various natural landscapes such as mountains, grasslands, deserts, gobi, and lakes. In spring, everything revives, and the grasslands are full of wildflowers, making it a great time for outings and flower viewing; in summer, the grass is green and flocks of cattle and sheep gather, making it an ideal place to escape the heat; in autumn, the forests are dyed in colors and fruits are fragrant, a season of harvest and gratitude; in winter, the land is covered in silver and snow scenes are picturesque, perfect for skiing and hot springs. No matter the season, Xinjiang has its unique charm waiting for you to explore.
The ‘Xiaoxiang’ special train will take you deep into the heart of Xinjiang to visit those breathtaking attractions. From the Devil City in Hami to Tianchi Lake in Urumqi, from the picturesque scenery of Kanas to Sayram Lake in Yining, every place is full of mystery and surprise. You will have the opportunity to experience the unique yardang landforms, the tranquility of alpine lakes, the vastness of grasslands, and the rich diversity of ethnic cultures.
Key photo spots include the yardang wonders of the Grand Sea Devil City, the historical charm of the Prince’s Palace, the intangible cultural heritage performance of the Twelve Muqam, the picturesque lake of Tianchi in Urumqi, the folk customs of the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, the earthly paradise of Kanas, the tranquility of Hemu Ancient Village, the Danxia landforms of Colorful Beach, the beautiful highland blue lake of Sayram, and the vastness of Nalati Grassland… each is a must-visit popular destination.
Travel tips: Due to Xinjiang’s vast territory and long distances between attractions, it is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance and arrange your time reasonably. Also, Xinjiang’s climate is changeable with large temperature differences between day and night, so bring warm clothing and sun protection. Additionally, respecting the customs and habits of local ethnic groups is a responsibility for every traveler.
