📜 【From the Route Designer】
“This route is a classic gift for Xinjiang enthusiasts.” Wang Fei, Manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, pointed at the red trajectory on the map, “Starting from Urumqi, we follow the ancient Silk Road, packing the lakes and mountains of northern Xinjiang and the cultural epic of southern Xinjiang into the same train. The special train is like a moving viewing platform — by day you boat on Kanas Lake, by evening you lie on the train counting stars, and the next morning you wake up in the spruce forests of Nalati.”

👩💼 【Route Designer Wang Fei’s Travel Philosophy】
“Traveling in Xinjiang is not a check-in competition.” This seasoned traveler who has traversed the Tianshan Mountains says, “At Kanas, I suggest visitors put down their cameras and sit quietly for half an hour listening to the pine waves; on the Duku Highway, if you encounter local herders moving camp, feel free to stop and help; in Kashgar Ancient City, learn a few folk proverbs from the local elders. These moments are the soul of Xinjiang travel.”
