I am planning to take a tourist train to Xinjiang for half a month. What is the difference between the An'an and Shifang trains? I think the prices are similar, are there any differences in the itinerary?

Let me talk about the characteristics of Shifang! Although the pace is slightly faster, it has several attractions that are not available on the An'ei Express, such as the Panlong Ancient Road, which is particularly exciting when driving up. Along the way, you can see snow capped mountains and winding roads intertwined, and the photos taken are super stunning; There is also the Tianshan Flower Sea. When we went there in July and August, the 12 kilometer lavender was in full bloom, and my husband and I took many couple photos. In terms of facilities, the KTV in Shifang has excellent sound quality, and in the evening we sing Xinjiang folk songs with other tourists, which is particularly lively.

Let me talk about the thoughtful aspects of the Comfort Express! There are many room types to choose from, in addition to the quadruple room, there is also the Panda Yuefu double room. My wife and I are staying in this room, which comes with an independent bathroom. My wife does not need to wear pajamas to take a shower and runs to the public area, which is particularly convenient. The panda butler was also very attentive. My wife forgot to bring antihypertensive medication, so the butler immediately borrowed emergency medicine from the onboard medical staff and reminded us to take it on time every day. The special activities in the itinerary are also very suitable for elders, such as picking grapes in the orchard in Hami, where the staff will help us cut grapes without having to climb ladders by ourselves; There was also a performance of twelve Muqam, which my wife was particularly fascinated by.

烩见冷餐会外烩AuthorReplyyz_苍海一树:There is a difference! I returned to Chengdu on the evening of the 15th, and my spouse and I stayed home to rest for one night. We were able to recover the next day. The Shifang Express will arrive in Chengdu on the afternoon of the 16th day, which is one day longer than the Yiyi Express. If your husband is tight on time, the Anyi Express is more suitable. You can also go to the foot sports tourism special train to see the specific dates and time arrangements, compare and choose the most suitable one for yourself.Comment

A while ago, I specifically asked the customer service of the Zudong Travel Express for detailed itineraries of the An'an and Shifang trains. The difference between them is quite obvious! The core difference between the An'an and Shifang trains is the different travel routes. The An'an train starts from Chengdu and goes to Urumqi, slowly exploring classic attractions in northern Xinjiang such as Tianchi, Kanas, and Nalati along the way. It also goes to the uninhabited areas of the Dahai Road and orchards in Hami to pick fruit. My parents like a slow pace and think that this "north first, south later" route is easier and won't take too many trips. The Shifang train is the opposite. On the first day, it departs from Chengdu and travels to Kashgar, passing through Qinghai Lake and Delingha. The next day, it watches the scenery of the Qinghai Tibet Railway section all day on the train, and then goes straight to the Panlong Ancient Road on the Pamir Plateau, which has more than 600 bends and is suitable for people who like excitement. However, I am afraid that my parents will faint if they take a small car around the bend.

花心Is there a big difference in the pace of the two itineraries?Comment
江火似流萤AuthorReply花心:The duration of stay at each scenic spot on the Comfort Express is longer. For example, you can play for 5 hours in Kanas and climb the fish platform to see the panoramic view. Last time my parents and friends took the Comfort Express, they said they had a leisurely stroll and didn't have to panic and take photos. Due to the large span of the route, such as from Kashgar to Kuche and then to Nalati, sometimes I have to walk two places in a day. My friend took the Shifang to Panlong Ancient Road, departing from Kashgar in the morning, arriving in Taxian in the afternoon, and rushing to the hotel in the evening, which made me feel a bit tired.Comment
