🚂 Want to use one long trip to take in both the leisure of the “Land of Abundance” and the grandeur of the “mountains and rivers of the Western Regions” all at once?
Then why not start with a ride on the “Panda Special Train · Splendid Tianfu”—disembarking during the day in the north and south of Xinjiang to see the sights, and returning to the train at night to eat Sichuan cuisine, enjoy the scenery, and do handicrafts. Over 16 days, it strings together Xinjiang’s essential attractions such as Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Kashgar Old City, and Turpan into one route.
This time, we won’t talk about grand scenes; instead, let’s talk about a very special little segment of this journey—handmade folded sunflower seed boxes. It may seem inconspicuous, yet it perfectly embodies the travel philosophy of the “Splendid Tianfu”:slow down time and turn the journey into life.
