👩💼 Route Designer’s Notes
“I personally surveyed this route 12 times, and made 3 major upgrades in 2026:
1️⃣ The special train added a power bank rental service (20 RMB/day)
2️⃣ The Kanas section now stays in Jadengyu to avoid carrying luggage within the scenic area
3️⃣ A professional guide is arranged at the Urumqi Grand Bazaar (included in the ticket price)
Recently, many guests have asked whether the Duku Highway is open. According to the 2026 Transportation Department announcement, this section is usually open from June to October; the final notice will be given 15 days before departure.”
