For example:
→ In Taxkorgan County, tourists can visit the homes of various ethnic groups, learn to make the ‘Kumuz’ instrument, and taste traditional milk tea;
→ In Hemu Village, you can hike to the observation deck in the early morning to see the wooden houses and birch forests in the morning mist;
→ On the Duku Highway, the special train will stop in designated areas, allowing tourists to get off and capture the wonder of ‘seeing four seasons in one day.’
Quick Itinerary OverviewIn 2026, many scenic spots in Xinjiang have implemented ‘reservation system + flow restriction’ measures, and the special train team has coordinated tickets in advance to avoid tourists waiting in line. Additionally, the route specially arranges niche experiences like ‘Kazakh Home Visit’ and ‘Lop Nur Village,’ making the trip more than just ‘checking in’ and allowing tourists to feel the wisdom of life of various ethnic groups.
