💡 Manager Wang Fei’s travel advice
“As a local who has traveled through 87 counties and cities in Xinjiang, I recommend focusing on the Ili flower seas during the May departure, while the June departure is more suitable for desert exploration. The special train specially sets up a “weather emergency plan”; in case of extreme weather, a backup route to Turpan or Altay will be activated.”
