🚂 [Route Overview:How to Explore Xinjiang on a Moving “Five-Star Castle”?]
Xinjiang is vast, and traditional travel is often tiring due to long drives and scattered attractions.

The train is equipped with bathrooms, large viewing windows, and a KTV entertainment room. Traveling at night saves time, and by day it goes directly to scenic areas, making it truly a “moving five-star castle.”

✅ Covers Xinjiang TOP10 attractions such as Kanas, Sayram Lake, and the Duku Highway
✅ Stay throughout in distinctive hotels within scenic areas (such as Kanas and Hemu wooden cabins)
✅ Meals include 8 Xinjiang specialty banquets (roast whole lamb, hand-grabbed rice, big plate chicken)
✅ Equipped with professional guides + onboard doctors, with no shopping stops arranged throughout the itinerary
