📍 How to confirm the departure city? 3 steps to lock in accurate information
The departure city of a tourist special train needs to be confirmed by combining the actual schedule, railway operation arrangements, and travel agency products to avoid itinerary disruptions due to outdated information. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency recommends the following steps:
1️⃣ Check the current schedule:Tourist special train schedules are affected by railway timetable adjustments and seasonal passenger flow, so the latest 2026 schedule provided by the travel agency should be used as the standard. For example, the Northern Xinjiang loop special train may be recommended to run from June to September, with departure cities concentrated in Urumqi or Changji.
2️⃣ Verify the product description:When contacting the travel agency, clearly ask about the “special train name + departure city,” for example, “Does the Kanas special train depart from Urumqi?” If the product information says “to be determined,” you need to wait for the final approval from the railway department.
