Notably, the train will traverse the Duku Highway (southern and middle sections), known as one of China’s most beautiful highways, with alternating snow mountains and grasslands along the way, offering different scenery in all seasons. Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, backed by Muztagh Ata Peak, has crystal-clear waters; Kashgar Old City retains the millennia-old Silk Road style, while Liuxing Street blends diverse architectural styles. All tour arrangements are based on current scenic area opening policies and reception capacity.
