🚉 3. Connection between the train and destination transportation:How to connect seamlessly?
Tourist trains feature “the train travels with you,” but some remote scenic areas (such as Kanas and the Pamir Plateau) require transfers to local transportation:
Northern Xinjiang section:After the train arrives at Beitun/Yining, transfer to tourist buses to Kanas and Hemu, about 4-6 hours by road;
Southern Xinjiang section:After the train arrives at Kashgar, take a bus to Tashkurgan County (Pamir Plateau), about 3 hours by road, and a travel permit must be obtained in advance.
Recommended actions:
1. Clearly inform the travel agency during consultation whether you need assistance with obtaining the travel permit;
