Each carriage is recommended to have 3-4 compartments, striving for privacy and comfort. The train passes through core Xinjiang scenic areas such as Urumqi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, with the itinerary covering both north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, allowing tourists to deeply experience the forests and lakes of northern Xinjiang and the desert ancient cities of southern Xinjiang within 14 days.

Even more noteworthy is that the train adopts a “train follows the people” model, so tourists do not need to frequently move luggage. Every night, in the moving “home,” they can enjoy the changing scenery outside the window—from the Gobi of the Junggar Basin to the grasslands of the Ili River Valley, from the dunes of the Taklamakan to the snow mountains of the Pamir Plateau. Every frame is a visual feast.
