🌄 Destination Panorama:From the Tianshan Mountains to the Kunlun Mountains, encounter the four seasons of Xinjiang
Xinjiang is vast, with vastly different landscapes in the north and south. Northern Xinjiang is dominated by lakes, forests, and snow-capped mountains, such as Kanas, known as the “back garden”; the Yili River Valley has vast grasslands, with the Nalati Sky Grassland spreading like a green velvet carpet in the heart of the Tianshan Mountains; Southern Xinjiang is known for historical relics, desert oases, and plateau lakes, with the ancient city of Kashgar retaining its thousand-year charm, and the White Sand Lake and Muztagh Ata Peak in the Taxkorgan area forming a magnificent picture.
The Jinxiu Tianfu Special Train cleverly designs a “travel by day, move by night” rhythm, stopping at core scenic spots for in-depth tours during the day and traveling smoothly at night, saving time and avoiding the fatigue of long-distance travel. The entire train is equipped with constant-temperature underfloor heating, bathrooms, and humidification systems to effectively cope with Xinjiang’s large temperature differences and dry climate, enhancing travel comfort.
