Snow Country train:What exactly makes the mobile “ice and snow castle” so special?
If asked about the “top-trending” mode of transportation for Xinjiang tourism in winter 2027, the Snow Country tourist train is sure to be one of them. This winter-themed train, created by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency in conjunction with the railway department, takes “slow travel, depth, and comfort” as its core and is specially designed for long-distance winter travel. The train uses fully enclosed constant-temperature carriages, equipped with a humidification system and anti-slip floors. Even if outside the window is an ice and snow world of minus 20°C, the interior can maintain a warm humidity of 22°C. What is even more special is that the northern Xinjiang route the train passes through covers winter-only landscapes such as Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake, allowing tourists to “view all the snow country scenery from one train” without frequently transferring between transportation.
