Based on the advantage of exclusively customized routes, tourist trains can cover all the boutique attractions on the route in one trip. The train follows people, traveling at night and sightseeing during the day, fully saving time.
Especially in long-distance tourism, the advantage of multiple round trips on the main route is more prominent. Taking the "New Oriental Express" as an example, Xinjiang is a destination desired by tourism enthusiasts. However, Xinjiang is vast, with a distance of about 1,550 kilometers between the north and south. There are many scenic areas and large distances, making self-driving a test of physical strength and vehicle condition. The tourist train replaces cars with trains, allowing tourists to traverse "North and South Xinjiang" in a comfortable physical and mental experience.
