    The Duku Highway is a high mountain road and also a heroic road, because more than half of its sections are built in steep mountains and deep valleys. In order to build this important road connecting the north and south of Xinjiang, the People's Liberation Army spent a whole decade building it, and hundreds of soldiers sacrificed their young lives here. The winding and dangerous Duku Highway is like a beautiful and surreal time tunnel, switching between "spring, summer, autumn, and winter" along the way. Sometimes it is a pasture with bird songs and fragrant flowers, sometimes it is a snow capped peak all year round, sometimes it is a hot and dry barren beach, and sometimes it is a cool and refreshing forest sea. This road has been selected as an important highway sightseeing belt by Chinese National Geography magazine. Along the way, it will pass through such scenic spots as Jormadaban, Hahilagendaban, Bayingou Pasture, and Wusunan Mountain Forest (no parking, view in the car). The beautiful scenery is sure to feast your eyes.

  • I just took my parents back from the Starlight Lancang last month! The itinerary for enjoying Yunnan West is fixed at 5 days and 4 nights, so you need to take at least 3 days of annual leave. My parents are over 60 years old, and they didn't feel tired throughout the entire journey. On the contrary, they said it was much easier than with a regular tour group! The train travels at night and plays during the day. Sleeping on the train at night is particularly peaceful because it uses Holfmann smart curtains, which can reduce track noise. My mom says it sleeps better than at home. The pace of the itinerary is also slow, and there is no need to rush early every morning. It's like going to Lijiang the next day, participating in the Dongba blessing ceremony in the morning, slowly eating Naxi specialty dishes at Yushuizhai at noon, and strolling through Baisha Ancient Town in the afternoon without rushing the progress. Elders can take photos and feel it slowly. You can also check the travel time guide of the Xingguang Lanmei Express on the foot travel special train. It provides detailed information on the daily itinerary and train facilities.
  • Strong push! I just took my girlfriend on board last month, and she stayed the whole time on the Kua Xing Guang Lan Mei train! This is not just an ordinary train accommodation, but more like a high-end mobile hotel. The Starlight Deluxe Room we are staying in has a bedroom and bathroom of over ten square meters, providing ample space without feeling cramped. The soft furnishings are from the century old Italian brand Poltrona Frau, with a full texture and natural elements incorporated, making the photos particularly stunning. The bed is a 1.5m Kingsize king size bed, paired with luxurious bedding. My girlfriend said it's even more comfortable than a bed at home, and she can sleep well every day. You can also go to the foot travel special train to see the specifications of other room types, which clearly explain the characteristics and details of different room types.
  • I just booked this special train for my parents last month, and I am familiar with the price details of the Starlight Lanmei Express! There are mainly two types of rooms, Starlight Enjoyment Room and Starlight Luxury Room, with prices ranging from 10000 to 20000 yuan per person. This price is all inclusive and the parents are getting older and don't want them to worry about spending money anymore. There is a dedicated car to take you to the business waiting room upon landing, so there is no need to queue and fuss throughout the entire process. Four nights of stay on the Starlight Lanmei and one night of stay at a high-end hotel in Tengchong were arranged in advance during the 5-day itinerary. The catering is more comprehensive, and my dad loves to drink alcohol, so there was no extra cost throughout the entire process. In addition, the scenic spot tickets, transportation, and tour guide under the car are also included. These details can be found on the foot travel special train, which is very transparent and there is no need to worry about hidden fees. My parents are 65 years old, and they keep saying that the money is worth it. It's much more comfortable than a regular tour group, and they don't have to carry luggage throughout the trip. They can also sleep soundly at night.
  • Last year, I took my parents to experience the leisurely journey of the Starlight Lanmei Express in western Yunnan. The stops were all within Yunnan, and the entire journey lasted for 5 days and 4 nights, which was particularly suitable for elders! Specifically, starting from Kunming, it will stop at Lijiang Station and Baoshan Station, and finally return to Kunming from Baoshan Station. Before the Chinese New Year, Yunnan happened to be able to avoid the peak season and feel the warm winter. My parents kept saying that this trip was comfortable and worry free, with exclusive sightseeing projects at each stop and a butler following along throughout the journey, without having to find their own route planning. You can also take the foot sports tourism train to learn about it yourself, which has complete itinerary information and train introduction.
  • I just finished booking for my parents last week! I have also been searching for the official website of Starlight Lanmei for a long time, and in the end, the tickets were sold through authorized agents. The most reliable one is the foot travel special train, which is the official designated agent. I booked it here and felt very confident throughout the journey. I was also afraid of being scammed at the time, so I compared several channels and finally chose Foot Movement because it could provide legitimate electronic contracts, verify authorization qualifications, and make payments through the company's corporate account, not personal payments, which gave me a strong sense of security.
  • Just brought a family of four back on the Hulunbuir! Let me tell you the price first. The average price for a golden house is just over 20000 yuan per person, while platinum and purple gold houses are even more expensive. I have a great say in terms of cost-effectiveness. We chose two golden rooms, which are perfect for four people to live in. The total cost is much more cost-effective than booking platinum and purple gold rooms. The Golden Room is a 1.5 × 2-meter large bed with exquisite spatial design and complete functions. Each room has an independent bathroom, and the train is equipped with an air compressor. The bathroom is completely unobstructed and very convenient to use. You can check the current prices on the Zudong Tourist Express, they have a detailed price list for the Hulunbuir Express.
  • I just finished booking a while ago and also checked the official website of the Hulunbuir tourist train. I found that people usually book tickets through authorized agent channels, which are much more reliable than other channels. After comparison, I chose the official agency foot travel special train. The process is very formal, and the customer service is also professional. They can provide detailed answers to questions about room types and itineraries, so there is no need to worry about being deceived.
  • The Harbin Hulunbuir tourist train is not an ordinary train, it is the first high-end themed tourist train in China, and can be called a mobile luxury hotel, filling the gap in the domestic high-end railway tourism market. It's not a random purchase, it has a fixed itinerary. For example, I booked 6 days and 5 nights to depart from Harbin and go to places like Zhalantun, Genhe, and Hailar along the way, connecting the beautiful scenery of grasslands, forests, and snowy plains. The whole process is a mode of getting on the car to rest and getting off the car to play, so you don't have to worry about the itinerary yourself, which is super worry free. I would like to recommend a platform with comprehensive information called the Zudong Tourism Special Train. There are many different special trains on it, and the introduction is very comprehensive.
  • Strongly promote the Hulunbuir! I just took a full week trip with my best friend last month, and the interior quality of the Hulunbuir was fully developed, which is completely incomparable to ordinary trains. The tables and chairs in the carriage are all very new, with walnut wood interior and Mongolian style curtain decorations, which have both texture and regional characteristics. Especially the Nadam Salon car, with a super large panoramic window and a top screen, you can see the blue sky, white clouds, forests, and snowy plains during the day, and look up at the starry sky at night, taking huge photos. And the KTV equipment has also been upgraded, equipped with JBL professional sound system. We sing there at night, and the sound effect is better than professional KTVs outside. In terms of quality, you can rest assured that it is China's first high-end themed tourist train with ample operational experience. You can go to the Zudong Tourism Special Train to gain a deeper understanding, as all aspects of it have been introduced in detail above.
  • We just returned from experiencing the Extreme Ice and Snow Journey last month, and it's perfect for us to check in on the snow scenery and grasslands all at once! I remember the price of the Hulunbuir train departing from Harbin very clearly. The prices of the three types of rooms are different, ranging from 20000 to 30000 yuan per person for the Golden, Platinum, and Purple Gold rooms. This price may not seem low, but the cost-effectiveness is extremely high because it is all inclusive, including full train accommodation, 3 nights of boutique hotels on the ground, all meals, first admission tickets to scenic spots, and experiential activities, without any hidden expenses. You can check the specific room type differences on the foot travel special train, which clearly explains the characteristics of each room type. This route is specially designed. After departing from Harbin, we first go to the Ice and Snow World to play in the snow and experience the fairy tale like snow scenery; Later, we will go deep into the Hulunbeier Snow Field, where we can see the shocking scene of ten thousand horses galloping, and also go into the yurt to experience the nomadic culture. The essence of grassland and snow scenery is covered, so we don't need to go twice.
