👩💼 [Itinerary planner says]
“Many guests worry that special train travel will be a ‘whistle-stop tour,’ but the New Oriental Express solves this pain point through ‘major transportation + small-group in-depth tours’—the special train handles cross-regional movement, and each land segment recommends 6-8 people per group, arranging a 2-hour hike in Kanas and reserving 3 hours for cycling around Sayram Lake, truly achieving ‘slow travel.'”—Wang Fei, Manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency

🌈 [Manager Wang Fei’s travel promise]
“As a native Xinjiang local, I have traveled to every scenic spot north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. From the steepness of the Duku Highway to the vastness of the Taklamakan, from the bustling life of the Kashgar old city to the mystery of Kanas, all are engraved in my memory. My team insists on no-shopping itineraries with no shopping arranged throughout, using professional planning to avoid the crowds and a local’s perspective to unlock hidden experiences—such as taking guests to the wildflower valley in the back mountain of Nalati, or arranging a sunset kayaking trip on Kanas Lake. Travel is not a check-in competition, but a process of letting the soul converse with the scenery.”
