📌 5 core pieces of information to prepare before consulting
1. Travel dates and duration
Xinjiang tourism special train schedules are greatly affected by season. Summer (June-August) is peak season, and you need to confirm availability 1-2 months in advance; autumn (September-October) focuses on Kanas and southern Xinjiang poplar forests, with relatively concentrated schedules. Clarify your travel date range (e.g., “July 10-20”) to help the travel agency match schedules.
2. Budget range
Special train costs vary greatly depending on car type, accommodation standards, and itinerary length. For example:

Premium class:Private compartment + 5-star hotel + specialty dining, about 10,000+ yuan/person for 15 days.
Costs typically include transportation, accommodation, meals, and tour guide services, but do not include attraction tickets or personal expenses.*
3. Key areas to visit
Xinjiang is vast, and special train routes are divided into northern Xinjiang (Kanas, Ili), southern Xinjiang (Kashgar, Taklamakan Desert), and full Xinjiang loop routes.
