2026 · 16-Day Cultural Journey
From Chengdu to the western regions, this journey reads Xinjiang through rail living, private interpretation, regional dining and slow cultural encounters.
The e-book itinerary reframes the route as a dialogue between Tianfu elegance and western vastness: settle into the train first, then move through Urumqi, Altay, Ili, Kuqa, Pamir, Kashgar and Turpan with lower fatigue and stronger cultural context.
The published 2026 plan runs 16 days from Chengdu through northern and southern Xinjiang, with limited remaining availability.
The 2027 upgraded plan refines pacing, hotels and onboard programming. Details are released through the official inquiry channel first.
