📅【Simple Itinerary｜16-Day Northern and Southern Xinjiang Panoramic Loop】🌍 【In-Depth Destination Interpretation】
▶ Geographic Code of Northern and Southern Xinjiang:
Xinjiang covers 1/6 of China’s land area, divided by the Tianshan Mountains into Northern and Southern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang features grasslands, lakes, and forests, ideal for summer escapes; Southern Xinjiang is characterized by deserts, Gobi, and plateaus, with golden poplar forests in autumn. The special train route cleverly connects the highlights of both, avoiding repetitive paths.

The Duku Highway is expected to fully open in June (October departures switch to the Yizhao Highway); Kanas Scenic Area implements a ‘reservation system + flow control,’ with the special train securing daily slots in advance; Sayram Lake adds a ‘cycling path around the lake,’ with electric assist bikes available at an extra cost.
▶ Cultural Experience Highlights:
Participate in a ‘Bazaar Economics’ class in Kashgar Old City to learn how to distinguish genuine from fake Hetian jade; the Jiaohe Ruins concert in Turpan features local intangible heritage performers playing the Twelve Muqam; Hemu Village Tuvan home visits offer a chance to try playing the ‘Chuur’ reed flute.
