📝 Warm Tips
The special train does not open a 12306 ticket purchase channel; registration and berth selection must be done through the travel agency.
Cabin numbers are limited (recommended 7 double rooms with bathrooms per departure), so confirm availability as early as possible.
Before traveling, please check the latest entry policies for each scenic spot; some attractions require advance booking (e.g., Kanas).
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night; even in summer, it is recommended to bring a warm jacket, especially for high-altitude areas like Sayram Lake and Kanas.
This 16-day journey is not just about seeing the scenery; it’s a deep dialogue about slow living, cultural immersion, and physical and mental relaxation. On the ‘Jinxiu Tianfu,’ you fall asleep crossing the Gobi and wake up by a snowy mountain lake—this is the way to experience Xinjiang!
