🧭 Simple itinerary (summer version)📞 How to register
This product can be consulted and booked through Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service. As a qualified tourism service institution, it provides full-process services including itinerary material collection, departure date confirmation, and contract signing. It is recommended to contact them in advance to check seat availability, especially for September departures near the peak autumn scenery period when resources are relatively tight.
🧳 Cost and service description
The cost usually covers train cabin accommodation, tickets for scenic spots listed in the itinerary (first admission), scenic area shuttle buses, local transfer buses, professional tour guide explanations, three meals per day (including specialty flavor meals), and travel accident insurance. Some self-funded items (such as secondary consumption within certain scenic areas, personal expenses, etc.) are not included. For solo travelers, the travel agency will try its best to arrange room sharing. If it cannot be arranged, relevant matters can be negotiated between both parties.
It should be noted that Xinjiang is vast, and some sections of the route may be affected by weather, road conditions, or scenic area management policies. There is a possibility of reasonable changes to the itinerary order or stay duration. Such changes will be implemented after consultation and agreement between the tour guide and tourists, while ensuring the core experience is preserved.
Day 01: Gather in Urumqi from various places🌄 Why choose in-depth train-style travel?
Compared with self-driving or regular bus tours, the advantage of the New Oriental Express lies in its “mobile accommodation + fixed pace.” Tourists do not need to move luggage or change hotels every day. The train runs smoothly at night, and sightseeing is concentrated during the day, saving energy and avoiding the fatigue of long-distance driving. The interior of the carriage is built to star-rated hotel standards, equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, panoramic windows, and butler service, balancing comfort and privacy. In addition, the special train stops are often close to scenic area entrances, reducing transfer time and improving sightseeing efficiency.
📌 Warm reminders
The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large. In September, nighttime temperatures in Northern Xinjiang may drop below 10°C, so it is recommended to bring windproof and warm outerwear.
Some sections of the route (such as the Duku Highway and the Pamir Plateau) are at high altitudes, so it is advisable to prepare common medications in advance.
The opening status of scenic areas and the operation of shuttle buses may be affected by season or temporary policies. Please refer to the actual arrangements on the day of travel.
This journey is not just about checking off scenic spots—it is a slow-paced geographical crossing. Sitting by the train window, watching morning mist drift over the surface of Kanas Lake, sunset spreading across the ripples of Sayram Lake, and the starry sky hanging low over the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak—these moments may be the most touching footnote of Xinjiang.
