✨ Route overview:
The newly upgraded “Baiyun Tourist Special Train” for 2027 centers on “slow travel + in-depth experience,” linking 12 major core scenic belts across North and South Xinjiang and covering 6 major themes: snow mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, ancient cities, and wetlands. The train adopts a “mobile hotel + land first-class” design, with 18 carriages recommended to accommodate 92 people, equipped with bathrooms, viewing windows, and constant-temperature floor heating. Public spaces include a dining car, entertainment car, and observation deck. There is no need to frequently move luggage throughout the journey, truly achieving “rest on board, play off board.”
