Based on the advantage of exclusive customized routes, tourist trains can cover all the boutique attractions along the route in one trip. The train follows people, traveling at night and sightseeing during the day, fully saving time.
Especially in long-distance travel, the advantage of multiple round trips along the main route is more prominent. Taking the ‘New Oriental Express’ as an example, Xinjiang is a desirable destination for travel enthusiasts. However, Xinjiang is vast, with a distance of about 1,550 kilometers between the north and the south. There are many scenic spots scattered over large distances, and self-driving is a test of physical endurance and vehicle condition. The special tourist train replaces cars, allowing tourists to traverse ‘northern and southern Xinjiang’ in a comfortable physical and mental experience.
