Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency can provide a day-by-day itinerary framework, but specific attraction visit times are subject to railway department scheduling.
🌄 Season and itinerary adaptation recommendations
Best travel time:The Duku Highway is open from early June to early October, with tourist train schedules concentrated during this period. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency recommends tourists prioritize mid-to-late June or early September to avoid peak crowds while enjoying richer scenery.
Weather and gear:Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night, so you need to bring a windbreaker, sunscreen, and comfortable hiking shoes. The train car is kept at a constant temperature of around 22°C, so no heavy clothing is needed.
