👩💼 【The route designer says:Manager Wang Fei’s “Xinjiang complex”】
“I am a native Xinjiang person and have traveled every inch of land north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.” said Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. “This route was polished by me and my team over 3 years. The biggest advantage of a train tour of Xinjiang is ‘worry-free + in-depth’—no need to drag luggage and change hotels, no need to rush; enjoy sightseeing during the day, and the train takes you along at night. In 17 days, you can thoroughly explore both the classic and niche attractions of North and South Xinjiang.”
Wang Fei especially reminds: “The Duku Highway is recommended to be open for 4 months each year (expected June to October in 2026). We have specially arranged itineraries for the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway. This is the ‘premium’ section in Xinjiang’s self-driving circles, with snow mountains, grasslands, canyons, and lakes all in one go! But the Duku Highway is greatly affected by weather. If it is temporarily closed, we will change to other attractions of equal value, such as the Yizhao Highway or S101 National Defense Highway.”
