Train introduction:A “mobile viewing platform” designed specifically for in-depth travel
The Snow Country tourist train is a high-end themed train launched by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency in cooperation with the railway department. It is positioned as an ice and snow tourist train featuring “slow pace, in-depth travel, and full service.” The train uses fully enclosed air-conditioned carriages and is equipped with large viewing windows, constant-temperature floor heating, and a humidification system, solving the problem of dryness and cold on traditional trains in winter. The carriages are equipped with charging ports, emergency call buttons, and luggage fixing racks. Each carriage is staffed with 2 attendants and provides considerate services such as 24-hour hot water and basic medical kits.
The biggest highlight of the train is the dynamic itinerary design of “the train moves with the scenery,” avoiding the rushed mode of regular tour groups. It adopts a “sightseeing by day, traveling by night” approach, allowing tourists to complete transfers between cities while sleeping and maximizing daytime hours for in-depth sightseeing. For example, on the 800-kilometer journey from Urumqi to Altay, a traditional bus takes 12 hours, while the Snow Country train chooses to travel at night and arrive early the next morning, so tourists can directly begin the Kanas ice and snow journey.
