📍 How to confirm the departure city? 3 steps to verify accurate information
1️⃣ Step 1:Verify the actual operator of the train
Xinjiang tourist trains are mostly operated through cooperation between local railways and travel agencies, such as branded trains like “New Oriental Express” and “Silk Road Dream.” Travelers can check train schedules via the Xinjiang Railway official website or the 12306 platform to confirm the train’s existence and its stops.
2️⃣ Step 2:Contact the travel agency to confirm the departure point
Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, as a local Xinjiang travel agency, can provide assembly points and transfer services for tourist train products. For example:
If the train departs from Urumqi, the agency may arrange for travelers from Turpan, Hami, and other areas to travel together to Urumqi for assembly;
Some trains support combined “train + bus” transport, such as taking a tourist train from Lanzhou into Xinjiang and then transferring to local tour buses for sightseeing.
3️⃣ Step 3:Check the “assembly notice” in the product information
📌 Content SummaryAfter registration, the travel agency will send a written itinerary and assembly notice specifying the assembly time, location, and contact person. Travelers should carefully verify that the departure city in the notice matches their own travel plans.
📋 How to review product information? Focus on 5 key items
1. Schedule and availability
Tourist train schedules are usually fixed (e.g., once a week), but additional temporary departures may be added during peak season. Check current availability through the travel agency to avoid delays due to full capacity.
2. Cost breakdown
Tourist train costs include train tickets, accommodation, scenic area entrance fees, and guide services, but some meals and optional activities require additional payment. For example:
The “Luxury Sapphire Carriage” on the New Oriental Express costs approximately RMB 15,000–20,000 per person (10-day itinerary);
Standard hard sleeper on regular tourist trains costs approximately RMB 4,000–6,000 per person (8-day itinerary).
