📌 Clothing guide:Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, so bring a windbreaker and thermal underwear; the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang is at a higher altitude, so an oxygen cylinder is recommended.
📌 Photography suggestions:The train’s viewing windows provide excellent angles for photography; a wide-angle lens is recommended; the Nalati Grassland and Sayram Lake are suitable for sunrise and sunset photography.
📌 Cultural respect:When visiting and paying family visits to households of various ethnic groups, follow local customs (such as removing shoes, avoiding impolite photography).
