Da He Zhi Nan:A moving scenic route running through the north and south of Xinjiang
[Detailed introduction to the route or destination]
Xinjiang, a land accounting for one-sixth of China’s land area, is famous for its geographical wonders interwoven with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes. In 2027, the Da He Zhi Nan train, with its innovative “mobile viewing platform” model, will connect the core landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang, allowing tourists to deeply experience the magnificence of this land without frequently changing transportation.
The train’s design breaks the limits of traditional trains: the entire train is equipped with 2- to 4-person rooms with bathrooms and adopts low-noise technology to maximize travel comfort; the multi-functional carriage is equipped with audio-visual systems, card and board tables, and karaoke equipment to meet the needs of different age groups; a professional chef team travels with the train, providing Xinjiang specialty meals such as hand-grabbed rice, baked buns, and big plate chicken, allowing taste buds and scenery to travel in sync.
The itinerary covers the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, the Pamir Plateau in Kashgar, the four-season changes of the Duku Highway, the lake and mountain scenery of Kanas, and the grassland flower seas of Ili. The train runs at night and stops at attractions during the day, saving time and avoiding midday heat, making it especially suitable for family trips and middle-aged and elderly groups.

[Current notes for traveling in Xinjiang]
Document preparation:In addition to valid ID, it is recommended to carry a small amount of cash; some remote areas may have weak signals, affecting mobile payments.
Clothing suggestions:Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, so a windproof jacket is needed even in summer; altitude changes greatly along the Duku Highway, so layered clothing is recommended.
Sun protection measures:UV rays are strong in plateau areas, so high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are needed.
Cultural respect:When visiting folk culture sites such as mosques, follow dress codes (avoid short skirts and sleeveless tops) and keep quiet.
Environmental awareness:In ecologically sensitive areas such as Kanas and Sayram Lake, feeding naturally growing animals or littering is prohibited; violators may face penalties.
[Itinerary change description]
In case of extreme weather, railway maintenance, or temporary closure of scenic spots, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency will, after reaching agreement with tourists, make reasonable changes to the itinerary, such as replacing with attractions of the same level or extending stay time, striving to ensure the travel experience is not significantly affected.
The Da He Zhi Nan train redefines Xinjiang travel with the concept of “slow travel.” During the 17-day journey, tourists can both immerse themselves in natural wonders and deeply feel the blending of cultures of all ethnic groups. Whether it is the “four seasons in one day” of the Duku Highway or the morning mist and evening haze of Kanas Lake, this moving scenic route will leave unforgettable memories.
