Silk Road Dream: A luxury train to southern Xinjiang

🍂 The trip to southern Xinjiang in autumn, boarding the luxurious Silk Road Dream, started a six-day, five-night cultural exploration journey. This trip started from Xining, passed through Ruoqiang, Korla, Kuche, and finally arrived in Kashgar. 🚂 Except for the first night staying at the Sofitel Hotel in Xining, the remaining four nights were spent on the train. 🏨 Day1: Arrive in Xining, check in to Sofitel Hotel and enjoy a comfortable stay. 🕌 Day 2: Visit the Ta'er Temple in Xining, then board the Silk Road Dream to start your dream journey. 🏛️ Day 3: Explore the ruins of the ancient city of Milan and the Loulan Museum in Ruoqiang, and feel the weight of history. 🌄 Day 4: In Korla, enjoy the magnificent view of the Lop Nur Great Rift Valley and Populus euphratica forest, and visit the Lop Nur village. 🏯 Day 5: The Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves and the Old Town of Kuche make people immersed in the ancient cultural atmosphere. 🏙️ Day6: Arrive in Kashgar, ending this unforgettable journey. 🚉 The train journey will be accompanied and explained by the butler and local tour guide throughout the journey, allowing passengers to have a deep understanding of the cultural charm of southern Xinjiang. As we all know, northern Xinjiang is famous for its scenery, while southern Xinjiang is known for its culture, especially the poplar forests beside the Taklimakan Desert in autumn, which are breathtakingly beautiful. 🍽️ Enjoy local cuisine at a local specialty restaurant for lunch every day, while breakfast and dinner are served on the train. Breakfast offers two set menus: Chinese and Western, with a different menu every day. Dinner is a seven-course custom menu that combines Chinese and Western cuisine, carefully prepared by a Hungarian chef who has worked in Michelin restaurants in Europe. Every meal is full of ritual, making people linger. 🚆 This way of traveling is more like a high-end customized group tour. The hotel becomes a mobile luxury train. There is no need to carry luggage every day, and the long journey passes quietly in your sleep. #Niche Travel Destinations #Xinjiang #Southern Xinjiang #Silk Road Dream #Kashgar #Poplar Forest
