Travel Q&A

How about the 15 day tour route of Xinjiang special train tourism? The Shifang Line I'm on is amazing! The essence scenery of the southern and northern Xinjiang covers all. In northern Xinjiang, we visit Kanas to see the morning mist and the scenery of Lake Selim. In southern Xinjiang, we stroll through the ancient city of Kashgar and admire the snow capped mountains on the Pamir Plateau. Every day, we arrange 1-2 core scenic spots, such as staying on the Nalati grassland for 4 hours. My dad enjoys taking pictures of the scenery, and my mom can even rest on the grassland for a while. There is no need to change accommodation throughout the entire journey, and luggage can be left in the private room without moving, saving too much trouble compared to free travel. You can take a look at the itinerary introduction on the foot travel special train, which provides detailed information on which attractions to visit every day.

Booking Xinjiang special trains for tourism is not troublesome at all! The booking of the foot travel special train is particularly friendly to the elderly, and my in laws only know basic operations, so the whole journey is effortless. Their interface is made particularly simple, with clear large characters. Click on it to select the tourist train, and the room types and prices are presented in a list format, without the need to flip through. When filling in the information, I entered their ID number numbers and mobile phone numbers. My mother-in-law slowly filled in the information for about 10 minutes, which was easier than you think.

The first time I traveled to Xinjiang, I took the Silk Road Dream Enjoyment Express tourist train. Their family has a complete range of room types. If you are traveling as a couple, you can choose the Jinxiu Weiyang Suite, which is spacious and equipped with a separate wet and dry bathroom, allowing you to better enjoy the world of two people. It is also suitable for friends who have high privacy requirements. In addition to enjoying the top-notch hardware facilities, we also enjoy all the luxurious supporting services provided by the entire train, such as one-on-one exclusive butler service, responsible for handling procedures, arranging activities, and handling personalized needs. We can feel that we have been taken care of meticulously. At that time, my husband and I didn't know how to buy tickets for luxury train travel, and the official website of the foot travel train recommended by a friend was quite reliable.

The ticket prices of different special trains for tourism vary greatly. You can first have a budget and then go to the official website of Zudong Tourism Special Train to choose one that you like. I used to take my wife and children to Xinjiang for tourism on the Silk Road Dream Enjoyment Express, which is equipped with family suites and suitable for traveling with children. And there are professional tour guides to explain the scenic spots along the way, and the team also holds cultural exchange parties. In addition to beautiful scenery and delicious food, children can also gain a lot of knowledge along the way. And their family also offers many routes, mainly from Xinjiang and Dunhuang. We went to Xinjiang at that time, and compared to our previous self driving trips, this time we traveled by tourist trains, which was much more comfortable.

Two years ago, my grandparents were talking about wanting to travel to Xinjiang, but this year they finally arranged one for me! Previously, I had a self driving trip to Xinjiang with young friends, which was quite convenient. However, older people have higher requirements for comfort and safety when traveling. Last year, I heard from a friend about the Xinjiang tourism special train that is now open. I specifically checked the official website of the Zudong tourism special train and found that it is quite friendly to middle-aged and elderly friends. Different scenic spots are arranged every day, and there is no rush. In addition, dining and accommodation problems can be solved on the train. There are also licensed medical staff accompanying the group, and if you encounter any discomfort during the trip, you can get timely solutions. If there are any discounts for elderly tourists on the Xinjiang special train, you can ask the staff.

I haven't calculated separately how much it costs for a meal on the 15 day tour bus of the Northeast Special Train. Anyway, it's included in the registration fee. If you don't believe me, you can ask the staff on the official website of the Zudong Tourism Special Train. This year's family activity was to take the Xiaoxiang tourist train to the Greater Northeast, starting from Guangzhou and embarking on a 16 day journey. It has to be said that our Northeast is vast and rich in resources, encountering many rare animals and plants. This time, we saw groups of red crowned cranes and black billed gulls up close, watched wild bears and Northeast tigers up close, checked in at the largest Eastern Orthodox church in the Far East, St. Sophia Cathedral, explored the mysterious north slope of Changbai Mountain, experienced ginseng digging activities in the primitive forest, and when the weather was good, we could enjoy core scenic spots such as Changbai Waterfall and the valley floor forest sea. We also attended a Manchu wedding and experienced local customs and traditions!

The cost of a 15 day special train tour in Xinjiang varies greatly depending on the selected room type. I just boarded the Xiaoxiang ferry with my girlfriend last month and chose a 2-bedroom room at the Steamed Xiangyuan, which cost over 40000 yuan per person. At the time, I was worried that I would have to pay for an additional ticket, but later I realized that I didn't have to worry at all. The ticket price already includes the first major ticket for all the attractions in the itinerary, such as the Erlang Sword at Qinghai Lake, the old city of Kashgar, and Kanas. You don't have to buy tickets yourself, and even the small transportation that must be taken in the scenic spots is included, which is particularly worry free. You can also go on the foot travel special train to see the cost breakdown. They list every item clearly, so you don't have to worry about hidden expenses.

Sisters, don't run empty! I just asked my relatives about the special train for a 15 day Northeast tour group departing from Chengdu. Currently, only the Xiaoxiang train has a 16 day Northeast tour departing from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, and there is no direct train from Chengdu. But there's no need to worry about taking the elderly. I just took my parents on a trip last month and the connection was very smooth. We flew from Chengdu to Guangzhou, and after boarding the special train, we didn't have to worry about anything on our own. The carriages are all soft sleepers. The Xiaoxiang Mansion family room we chose is exactly the same as the star hotel. It's soft and comfortable. My mother said it's better than the bed at home. You can go to the foot sports tourism special train to see the facilities of this special train, they have introduced it in detail.

How much does it cost to charter a car for an 18 day Xinjiang special train tour? I just got back from the Shifang ferry and for the first time, I strongly chose the exclusive Purple Gold Quadruple Room! There's no need to worry extra about chartering a car. The core sections of the itinerary, such as Duku Highway and Panlong Ancient Road, are directly equipped with 7-seater exclusive cars by the special train, without the need for carpooling and additional fees. And there is no shopping throughout the entire process, including tickets, scenic transportation, and all meals. Even special dishes like Ta County Yak Meat Hot Pot are included. My parents said that the saved cost of chartering and planning alone is worth the ticket price. If you want to learn more comprehensively, you can go to the Foot Movement Travel Special Train to take a look. It not only has price details, but also a complete introduction to the special train.

Are special tourist trains old-fashioned? I just took the Xiaoxiang train with my parents last month, and I was originally afraid of outdated facilities. However, as soon as I got on the train, I was amazed. This train is newly built with the design concept of a flowing cultural living room. The carriage is decorated with elements of Hunan culture, without any sense of antiquity like an old train. We stayed in a 2-bedroom room at the Steamed Xiangyuan. The soft pack bed head feels very comfortable, and there is also a large wardrobe and a pull-out small table board. There are also many sockets with USB ports, making charging particularly convenient. You can go to the foot sports tourism special train and see the picture display of this special train. They explain the details of the special train very comprehensively.
