I. Benefits of the Sunset Red Trains

The train is equipped with professional staff accompanying throughout the journey to ensure the safety of the tourists. At the same time, the internal environment of the train is comfortable, allowing tourists to lie down on their exclusive berths and enjoy a comfortable trip.
2. Hassle-free and Effortless: This train departs from Urumqi with a tour guide accompanying throughout the journey, so tourists don’t have to worry about itinerary arrangements and transportation issues. The tour guide will reasonably arrange the itinerary and activities according to the tourists’ physical strength and interest characteristics, allowing them to enjoy Xinjiang in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. 3. Cost-effective: Xinjiang is vast, and traveling by car takes a long time and higher costs. However, the Xinjiang Sunset Red Train offers a shorter travel time and relatively lower costs, providing tourists with an extremely cost-effective travel option.
4. Cultural Experience: The train not only provides rich natural landscape tours but also incorporates cultural experiences of ethnic minorities such as the Uyghurs.
