❄ ️ Why choose the Snow Country Train?
While ordinary trains slow down in the wind and snow, the Snow Country Train is crossing the forest sea and snow plains with customized cold-proof design; while self-driving tourists worry about road conditions, you are already in the panoramic glass carriage sipping hot tea and watching the snow-covered pines roll outside the window like silver dragons. This winter-themed train, jointly launched by Xinjiang Railway and Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, uses 8 days to connect the ice and snow wonderland of Altay with the winter tenderness of the Ili River Valley. It can be called a “mobile ice and snow resort hotel.”

🌟 Pathfinder manager Wang Fei says
“I have lived in Xinjiang for 38 years. I have seen Kanas Lake with rippling blue waves in summer, and I have also seen the shock of its blue ice-sealed lake in winter. This special train specially designs a ‘slow travel’ rhythm, with core sightseeing time not exceeding 6 hours per day, leaving enough time for guests to soak in hot springs and photograph the starry sky. Last year, an aunt from Shanghai cried by Sayram Lake, saying that at the age of 60 she had seen such pure blue ice for the first time — this is the magic of Xinjiang’s ice and snow.”
