The itinerary includes the clear reflections of Tianchi Lake at Tianshan, the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake, the majestic Duku Highway, the sunset over Jin Grass Beach in Taxkorgan, and the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar Old City.
The train is equipped with air-conditioned sleeper carriages, a dining car, and a multi-functional leisure area. Some room types include private bathrooms, with constant hot water and age-friendly facilities.

Additionally, professional tour guides accompany the entire journey, and air-conditioned tourist buses are arranged for transfers to scenic spots to ensure smooth visits.
