It is especially suitable for elderly tourists and families who want an easy trip with less luggage hassle.

From Turpan at the foot of the Flaming Mountains to Tashkurgan County on the Pamir Plateau; from the bustling streets of Kashgar’s ancient city to the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village in Altay—the 14-day itinerary encompasses Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes.
Southern Xinjiang Section:The Kucha culture of Kuqa, the thousand-year-old city of Kashgar, and the highland scenery of Tashkurgan showcase the historical depth of the Silk Road;
Northern Xinjiang Section:The vastness of the Nalati Grassland, the azure blue of Sayram Lake, and the tranquility of Kanas’s Three Bays present the ecological beauty of the Altai Mountains;
Special Experiences:Fruit banquets in Grape Valley, visits to Tajik homes, Tuvan family visits, and strolls through lavender gardens make the journey more immersive.
The special train operates on a ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning’ schedule, allowing daytime sightseeing and restful sleep in a moving ‘soft sleeper hotel’ at night, eliminating the hassle of frequent hotel changes and truly achieving ‘wake up and arrive at the scenic spot.’
