“Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, is a native Xinjiang local who has been deeply engaged in Xinjiang’s tourism industry for more than ten years, has traveled every scenic spot north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and is familiar with the full North and South Xinjiang travel routes, road and weather conditions, and local customs. This special train route is the result of repeated route inspections and detail optimization by me and my team—for example, changing the special train’s arrival time to avoid the scorching sun, coordinating direct shuttle buses to scenic areas to reduce waiting, and arranging home visits and intangible cultural heritage experiences to make travel warmer.
