🚂 Want to see Xinjiang’s snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities all at once, but worried that a long self-drive trip would be too tiring?
The “Tianshan No.1” panoramic special train covering both northern and southern Xinjiang may be the ideal choice you are looking for. This train combines “hotel” and “transportation” into one, allowing you to easily enjoy Xinjiang’s diverse scenery from a moving observation deck.
🗺 ️ Route Overview:14-Day Panoramic Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
The “Tianshan No.1” is a high-quality tourist special train created by China Railway Urumqi Group Co., Ltd. Since its launch in 2023, it has become a “star product” of Xinjiang tourism.
