🚂 What is it like to take a train and travel slowly through northern and southern Xinjiang?
——In-depth interpretation of the 14-day Kunlun panoramic special train
In the vast and expansive Xinjiang, scenic spots are often hundreds of kilometers apart. Traditional group tours frequently require changing buses and carrying luggage, making the fatigue of travel far outweigh the joy of sightseeing. The “Kunlun” tourism special train is a high-end railway travel product created precisely to solve this pain point. It is not an ordinary train but a mobile resort space—during the day, you immerse yourself in scenic areas; at night, you return to a familiar and comfortable carriage to sleep. Throughout the journey, there is no need to change hotels or carry luggage, truly achieving “slow down, go deeper.”
