My wife and I are looking for affordable options and have chosen the Shifang Premium Platinum Quadruple Room, which costs around 9000 yuan per person. There are three shopping stores at this price point, but there is no mandatory consumption. We always follow along for a while and then come out, and the tour guide is also expressionless. The worry free part is that both accommodation and local meals are included, and the taste is not bad. However, the extra money to be spent needs to be calculated in advance: scenic spot tickets and fees, and meals on the train will have to be paid for by oneself. Fortunately, the staff will make a list in advance, so you don't have to guess by yourself.
If the budget is sufficient, strongly try the exclusive Purple Gold Quadruple Room on Shifang! It looks like 30000 yuan per person, but it can be called a hands off shopkeeper style travel! This price includes all package meals, including admission tickets, scenic transportation, and all meals. The train also offers table meals on the dining car. The highest price for the local 6 specialty meals is 150 yuan per person. The Taxian yak meat hotpot is very satisfying. All accommodations are four or five diamond hotels and scenic homestays. The most worry free thing is transportation. The Duku Highway and Panlong Ancient Road both have 7-seater small cars for pick-up and drop off, and the staff are even more considerate than children. To be honest, this room type is quite popular. Hurry up and go to the foot travel special train to see if there are any remaining tickets. They are official agents, so if you are interested, place your order as soon as possible.
I can tell you about the cost of a 17 day trip to Xinjiang on the Shifang special train. We chose a deluxe platinum quadruple room, where I slept on the upper bunk for about 17000 yuan and my wife slept on the lower bunk for an extra 1000 yuan. This money is really worth it! The most important thing is zero shopping and zero self payment. I never went to a shopping store throughout the entire process, and the tour guide didn't even mention a specialty store. There's no need to be wary of sales, which is too much for us elderly people. And like going to Nalati Grassland, there is also a dedicated train passage arranged, so there is no need to queue up and change to a local bus. Meals are also all inclusive. On the train, there are stir fried boxed meals. There are also local special meals such as Roasted whole lamb and Buerjin cold water fish. My wife likes Turpan fruit feast best, which is fresh enough to taste sunshine. This room type is really the most cost-effective. You can compare it on the foot travel train and see that they explain the details of each room type very clearly.
