✨ Travel Preparation Tips

2. UV rays are strong in Xinjiang, so bring high-SPF sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing to avoid sunburn. Weather in lake and mountain areas is changeable, so carry portable rain gear.
3. Some scenic areas have long shuttle bus rides, so bring snacks, drinking water, and common medications like motion sickness pills and stomach medicine.
4. Before traveling, bring your valid ID. Those eligible for scenic area discounts should bring corresponding valid documents for verification.
5. The special train is equipped with basic living facilities. Bring personal toiletries and change of clothes as needed. You won’t need to frequently pack luggage, making the travel experience more relaxed.
