👩💼 Route Designer’s Remarks
Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service, is a native of Xinjiang who has been deeply involved in the Xinjiang tourism industry for over a decade. She has traveled across every scenic spot in the Tianshan region and is thoroughly familiar with the full tour routes of northern and southern Xinjiang, road conditions, weather, and local customs.
“The original design purpose of Tianshan Hao was to solve the pain point of Xinjiang’s ‘long distances and scattered scenic spots,'” Wang Fei explains. “The special train travels at night so passengers can rest comfortably; during the day, it stops at scenic areas, avoiding fatigue from long-distance travel. For example, from Beitun to Kanas, a car ride takes 5 hours, but the special train lets passengers complete the journey in their sleep and arrive directly at the scenic area.” She especially reminds travelers that the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large, so even in summer, a windbreaker is necessary; in southern Xinjiang, the sun is strong, so sunscreen and sunglasses are recommended.
