Huocheng County is known as the "Hometown of Lavender in China". When the lavender blooms, the fragrant lavender sways in the wind.
Here, romantic patches of purple flowers bloom, with lavender fields as purple fog covering the mountains and fields. The scattered purple dots slowly converge into a purple river, weaving a dreamy attire with a bluish purple hue. Connected to this are the mild weather, lush distant mountains, and quiet rivers. Occasionally, a couple of white clouds float in the azure sky, resembling impressionist scenery…
What are the specific advantages of the Xinjiang tourist train, and is it suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to participate?
First: Safety Assurance on the Great Beauty Xinjiang Tourist Train. The berths on the Great Beauty Xinjiang tourist train are stable, reducing the need for transfers during the trip. Tourists’ regular luggage can be placed on the train without needing to be moved back and forth! Additionally, there is a service team including professional staff with years of practical service experience and healthcare personnel who accompany the tourists throughout the journey.
Secondly, the Great Beauty Xinjiang tourist train is worry-free and smooth. The Xinjiang tourist train starts and ends in Urumqi, with a tour guide accompanying the group from Urumqi, providing thoughtful service throughout the journey. There is no need to worry about boarding and disembarking, as all passengers on the train are tourists. Everyone is filled with laughter and joy both on the train and when visiting attractions. Especially for middle-aged and elderly travelers, their children will feel more at ease.
Third, the Beautiful Xinjiang tourist trains are cost-effective and comfortable. Xinjiang is vast in territory and rich in resources, with scenic spots and cities far apart (if compared to other provinces, Xinjiang is equivalent to 9 Guangdongs, 10 Jiangxis, 11 Shangdongs, 12 Anhuis, 15 Zhejiangs, 16 Jiangsus, or 46 Taiwans). If you travel by car, it will take a long time and increase the number of days, making travel expenses higher. However, traveling by train takes only about 12 to 15 days to complete a tour of North and South Xinjiang, while traveling by car would take at least 20 more days. Therefore, traveling by tourist train is more comfortable and cost-saving. Especially for our middle-aged and elderly friends, travel time takes a significant toll on our bodies and energy.
Fourth, the Beautiful Xinjiang tourist trains are inclusive of all ages. As long as you do not have serious sudden illnesses such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, or cerebral thrombosis, and are in good health, you can participate in tourist train activities. However, it should be noted that insurance companies have high compensation limits for people over 75 years old (including 75). For people over 75, their children need to accompany them on this trip, and a health declaration must be truthfully filled out.
Fifth, the diverse options for cabins on the Beautiful Xinjiang tourist trains. 1. The New Oriental Express is currently China’s newest luxury tourist train; 2. Xinjiang’s national tourist train cabins; 3. The Tianshan Silk Road tourist train; 4. Xinjiang’s tourist train cabins. You can choose various tourist train products according to your needs.

When it comes to where to visit in Urumqi, the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar is a must-see! “Bazaar” means “marketplace” in Uyghur, and this is indeed the world’s largest bazaar. As you look around, the buildings in the bazaar exude a strong Islamic style. Upon entering, the streets filled with ethnic and regional cultural flavors are occupied by colorful local crafts and dried fruits from Xinjiang, giving you an instant sense of being transported back to the ancient Silk Road. After 8 pm every night, the Grand Bazaar becomes even livelier than during the day. The open-air food and snack street is bustling with tourists, Uyghur girls dance to the music, and local uncles and aunties, whether residents or tourists, are also happy to participate—here, there is no distinction between ethnicity and region, everyone dances to the music, creating a scene of joy and harmony.
