✨ Schedule Matching Reference for Different Travel Needs
👉 Prefer Northern Xinjiang summer scenery:Choose departures on September 3, 2026, or April-August 2027. During this period, the forests in the Altay region are lush and green, Sayram Lake’s wildflowers are in full bloom, and the grasslands of Nalati are rich with pasture — a great time to enjoy lakes, mountains, grasslands, and forests.
👉 Want to see Southern Xinjiang autumn scenery and culture:Priority should be given to departures on October 15 and October 25, 2026. During this period, the Luntai poplar forests enter their prime viewing season, Kashgar’s weather is comfortable, and fruits are abundant — ideal for routes combining Southern Xinjiang culture and autumn scenery.
👉 Budget-friendly off-peak travel:Choose departures in April or May 2027. During this period, visitor numbers are relatively lower, the spring scenery along the way is uniquely charming, and the value for money is higher.
👉 Seeking private and comfortable experiences:Choose the Premium Gold Diamond or Xiyue Gold Diamond compartments. Each carriage has fewer passengers, all with private bathrooms, offering higher travel comfort — suitable for family trips, friends traveling together, or travelers with higher accommodation requirements.
