✨ 【Xinjiang winter group tour departing from Urumqi:Snow Country Train + snow travel, unlock the secret ice and snow wonderland of Northern Xinjiang】✨
🚂 Detailed introduction to the route or destination:The mobile castle and land adventure of a Frozen Fairy Tale
Northern Xinjiang in winter is a paradise for ice and snow lovers. Here we do not recommend the magnificent snow scenery of “a thousand li sealed in ice, ten thousand li of drifting snow,” but rather unique folk culture and top-tier ice and snow experiences. In the winter of 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches a “Snow Country Train + snow travel” dual-mode group tour, excellently combining the comfort of the train with the flexibility of off-road vehicles to create an immersive ice and snow feast for tourists.
【Snow Country Train:A mobile ice and snow castle】
The “Snow Country” train is a high-end tourist train jointly launched by the Xinjiang railway department and Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, designed specifically for in-depth winter travel. The train uses fully enclosed carriages, equipped with underfloor heating in winter and air-conditioning temperature control in summer, operating stably year-round. The entire train has 16 carriages, including 10 platinum soft-sleeper carriages, 2 dining carriages, 2 multi-function entertainment carriages, and 2 service support carriages (including a traveling doctor’s room and luggage storage area).
The platinum soft-sleeper compartments are 4-person rooms, using soundproof materials and electronic combination locks to ensure privacy. The compartments are equipped with retractable extended small tables, 6 USB charging ports, reading lights, and service call buttons. The berth size is 700*1800mm, the upper berth space is raised to 1.2 meters, the lower berth is raised by 30cm, and a 28-inch suitcase can be placed under the bed. Each carriage is also equipped with a heated shower room (24-hour hot water), 2 toilets (1 seated + 1 squat), 2 washbasins, and a smoking room (with air purification system), suitable for tourists of all ages.
