👩💼 【What the Route Designer Says】
“Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service, is a native of Xinjiang who has been deeply involved in the Xinjiang tourism industry for over a decade. She has traveled to every scenic spot across the Tianshan Mountains and knows the complete tour routes, road conditions, weather, and local customs of northern and southern Xinjiang.
‘The design inspiration for Xiaoxiang Hao comes from the camel caravan merchants of the ancient Silk Road,’ Manager Wang Fei explained. ‘We hope tourists can, like ancient travelers, slowly enjoy the scenery along the way from a moving “home” while deeply experiencing the cultural essence of various ethnic groups. The 2026 route has specially optimized the stay time at core scenic areas such as Kanas and the Pamir Plateau, offering 40% more free activity time than traditional tour groups.'”

Our special train has specially designed a ‘clothes drying area,’ so your clothes can stay dry even on rainy days.”
