Travel by Train
In the fleeting years, the clatter of the train has never ceased. In which train speeding past on the tracks were there once the dreams and aspirations of their youth? Parents say, ‘Traveling by train has a special feeling. The sensation of rocking in the carriage while watching the scenery outside the window constantly change seems to take them back in time, revisiting those beautiful memories.’
If traveling by train is romantic, then watching the train cross valleys and rivers, with parents’ happy smiles on their faces and their exclamations of the beauty of nature and the miracles of life, are even more romantic moments.
Do you want to arrange a comfortable 14-day train journey for your parents this summer to see the scenery of Xinjiang?
For traveling in Xinjiang, there is nothing more suitable for parents. Just how big is Xinjiang? The area of Xinjiang is roughly equivalent to the combined areas of 13 provinces/autonomous regions: Guizhou, Jiangxi, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Liaoning, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Ningxia, Taiwan, and Hainan. The distances between attractions are far apart, often requiring several hours of travel, which undoubtedly poses a major challenge for parents.
So how can we make it easy for parents to traverse the east, west, north, and south of Xinjiang? There is no more comfortable way than taking a tourist train with comprehensive services that stops wherever needed. The train follows the passengers, traveling at night and exploring during the day. This not only saves travel time but also allows you to explore Xinjiang while sitting or lying down.
The Tianshan Express luxury tourist train was invested in by the Urumqi Railway Bureau with 3 million yuan in 2023 and was refurbished using 25G air-conditioned carriages.
This tourist train features all soft sleeper and hard sleeper configurations. The sleeper carriages of the Tianshan Express are relatively spacious. However, for older parents, I recommend friends to choose soft sleeper travel for them, as it is more comfortable, and the quality of rest is particularly important for long-distance travel.
The warm and comfortable soft sleeper carriages each have unique decorations and layouts, with a different scene on each carriage. The walls are adorned with wooden textured wallpaper, creating a cozy and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.
Tianshan Express Booking Process and Precautions
1: Since the Tianshan Express is a customized tourism train, it is recommended to book tickets through designated formal travel agency channels such as Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, which cooperates with the railway bureau. It is recommended to call the official booking center of the Tianshan Express, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, for consultation and booking: 180 95969599
2: The Tianshan Express does not sell train tickets separately. They need to be booked together with tourism products. When booking, ID card information is required, and a unified electronic contract on the national tourism supervision platform needs to be signed.
3: Determine the specific price based on the travel date and selected route. Prices may vary due to the peak and off-peak seasons of Xinjiang tourism and different travel dates; select the appropriate travel time and tourism product.
4: Provide your personal name and ID card number to customer service to confirm the departure date and tourism product. Pay the advance deposit for train tickets, sign the unified electronic contract for national tourism service supervision, and complete the registration.
Since the Tianshan Express is a customized tourist train with regular departures, there are only 2 trains per month and 12 trains per year. It is recommended to book in advance to avoid affecting your travel plans. Due to the high demand for the New Oriental Express, based on sales and booking situations in recent years, it is recommended to consult customer service in advance to understand detailed itinerary arrangements and cost information in order to better plan your trip.
The ‘Tianshan Express’ train also has an independent wellness and massage area with massage chairs to relieve parents’ fatigue during the journey, and there is an independent bar serving various beverages.
