No big cities, unfamiliar, distant, backward, with Gobi deserts,

Allow me to introduce to you a truly beautiful and talented South Xinjiang, both inside and out!

Put aside prejudices and come to witness the true South Xinjiang.
Let the north of the Great Wall with iron horses and autumn winds meet you, carrying baskets and swords.
In 2024, let’s embark on a journey along the Silk Road aboard the nation’s top luxury tourist train, the ‘New Oriental Express,’ and savor the long-standing civilization of China spanning five thousand years.
