Why should you travel Xinjiang by train?
When airplanes soar above the clouds and self-driving is hindered by mountain roads, a slowly moving special train is leisurely traveling between snow-capped mountains and oases. Xinjiang, this vast territory that occupies one-sixth of China, hides the echoes of Silk Road camel bells and the long melodies of grassland ballads. And the train tour is redefining the journey to the Western Regions with the "aesthetics of slow travel" – without the need to pack luggage and transfer hotels every day, or worry about altitude sickness and road conditions while self-driving. Just lean against the viewing window, watch the Tianshan pasture unfold like a huge oil painting, and let the magnificent landscapes of 1.66 million square kilometers become a flowing feast;
