Some sections are at higher altitudes (such as Karakul Lake and Bayanbulak), so conventional items for dealing with altitude sickness can be prepared in advance.
Respect the customs and habits of local ethnic groups, abide by scenic area management regulations, and jointly maintain a good travel environment.
The train is under closed management. When getting on and off, please cooperate with staff guidance and properly keep personal documents and valuables.
