Travel around northern and southern Xinjiang, 1 1 day by train, train+bus, including luxury tours of almost all scenic spots. The departure time from Urumqi is in the evening, but you should arrive early, because there will be a bus to Tianshan Tianchi after the gathering, and then return to Urumqi Railway Station, leaving at about 20: 00.
The general route is: Urumqi-Keketuohai-Brzin (staying in a hotel)-Harmony-Gardenyu (staying in a hotel)-Kanas-Beitun-Yining (staying in a tourist train, because it doesn't stop at night)-Nalati-Yining (staying in a hotel)-Sailimu Lake-Horgos-Yining-Turpan (the tourist train to Turpan is leaving, so I will stay.
If you have been on a cruise ship, you can generally think of this train as a cruise ship traveling in Xinjiang, but it is more luxurious than a cruise ship, because this trip not only stays on the train, but also stays in hotels around the scenic spots on land. Generally speaking, it is a combination of train+bus and train+hotel. Trains all leave at night, such as Urumqi to Fuyun, Beitun to Yining, Yining to Turpan, Aksu-Kashgar and Kashgar-Urumqi, and stay on the train for 5 nights. The rest of the night is spent in scenic spots or cities, such as Brzin, Gardenyu, Yining, Kuqa and Kashgar. With the arrangement of this tourist train, I feel that I have visited almost all the scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang. When I arrive at the railway station, I will take a bus to the scenic spots, stop in several big cities, and visit the night market and buy things at night.
What's it like in the carriage of Xinjiang's southern and northern Xinjiang tourist special train? Full soft sleeper
Soft sleeper is for 4 people, wider than ordinary soft sleeper, and there is a shower room.
There are beautiful dining cars, bars, full WIFI, fitness and entertainment on the tourist train. You can buy some wine on the train and look at the grass, sheep, mountains, rivers and so on outside the window. Or sit quietly on a comfortable train about one minute 1 km, drink a cup of Xinjiang specialty apocynum tea, and watch vilen fly around alone outside the window in a daze; If you want to make friends, sing a song. The car passed through a town (Xinjiang is relatively large, but still singing a song, and the car passed through a village).
How much is this luxurious Xinjiang tourist train for one person? Soft berth 8 180 yuan, including all accommodation, scenic spot tickets and bus fare.
First of all, talk about my experience. Once I went to Beijing from Zhangjiakou and bought y522, a tourist train starting with Y. At that time, there were still some questions. What is a tourist train?
However, after sitting, I found that it is no different from ordinary trains, and this train is a set run. After running, you have to run other lines. Within the scope of Beijing Railway Bureau, there is no difference between tourist trains and express trains.
Later, I learned that tourist trains start with the letter "Y" according to the travel requirements of seasonal passengers. The routing, time and scheduling of locomotives are generally handled by trucks (a few are handled by speed).
Most tickets are sold to various travel agencies, and passengers can sometimes buy them at the window. There are tour groups on many tourist trains. It feels like a chartered car. When you get off at a scenic spot, the train will wait at the station.
As for the so-called luxury, I don't feel it.
In fact, the tourist train is a dangerous pit. Thousands of us took the special train of Tongda Travel Company and went west to Xinjiang. We set off from Shanghai on April 23rd and got on the special train after arriving in Zhengzhou. The old-fashioned green leather carriage is seriously short of water (cold water and hot water), there is no charging socket in the carriage, and the doctors in the team have no medicine. The sanitary conditions are extremely poor and the management is chaotic. In the end, most tourists got sick and traveled all over the country.
The trip to Kanas, Xinjiang can be described in four words: terrible.
I thought the special train was a tall quality, but now I'm afraid to avoid it, which scares the baby to death.
Let me answer, this is a special train from Lanzhou to Zhangye. Last year 10, I was lucky enough to sit once. I think it's z6204 or that one. There are two carriages dedicated to Mr. Zhang, which are similar to leisure and entertainment. Just take a photo directly. I can't say clearly.
I only took a few photos, so you can have a chance to experience it.
I took a special bus from Harbin to Urumqi, Xinjiang, and my name was very loud, called "China". But contrary to the name, the journey started from Harbin, went to Hami, Turpan and Urumqi in Xinjiang, then returned to Dunhuang in Gansu from Urumqi, went to Xi 'an, and finally returned to Harbin from Xi 'an.
Since I took this so-called tourist train, I have no interest in seeing the propaganda with the words tourist train. Because this so-called special train was pieced together by a green leather car idle by Harbin Railway Bureau. Since I got on the bus, the annoying journey has begun. It was April, and it was still very cold, but there was no boiling water on the train. Ask the conductor and answer that the boiler has just been lit. It will take some time! When I arrived in Xinjiang, the car became hot, because there was no air conditioning on the car, so I had to open the window, and the dust of the diesel locomotive was easily scraped into the car.
The conductor and the conductor on the train were temporarily transferred, and they didn't want to run the train by themselves, so they were emotional and had a bad service attitude all the way.
I don't know if the current tourist train has improved. I hope it won't exist in name only.
I only took the Yuan Hua special train in June this year 1, and I bypassed Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Ningxia and Henan for fourteen days. This kind of special train is not as luxurious as the legend. Because this special train is composed of ordinary soft and hard seats and air-conditioned sleeper cars. The advantages of traveling by this special train are: convenience, comfort, many places to go, and no need to worry about changing trains to buy tickets. But there are also many disadvantages, such as: you can only play for one or two days in a city, and it is inconvenient to eat and live in the car, especially in summer, and bathing with water is restricted. Anyway, everything has advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how you adjust and adapt yourself!
Once I traveled by train with a travel agency, I made up my mind never to travel by train again.
In 20 14, the four of us took a one-day trip to Zhangjiajie and Yunnan by train organized by the railway travel agency 15. On the day of departure, we set off from home at five in the morning and arrived at the railway station at six. At this point, the railway station has gathered a lot of people, very lively. Everyone is wearing hats issued by the travel agency and looks very neat. The travel agency attached great importance to this trip, invited the Yangko Team to see us off, and the leaders of the travel agency also spoke, because there were about 1000 people, asking everyone to follow the instructions and pay attention to safety. This time, there are 18 teams, each with 40 or 50 people, and we are assigned to 13 teams.
After finding our team, the station will start at 6: 30. When we saw it, it was the old green leather train, which left at 6: 50. The four of us booked a soft sleeper box, which was more expensive than the ordinary hard sleeper, and each person added 1000 yuan to the tour fare. The average hard sleeper is more than 4 thousand, and ours is more than 5 thousand We just want to stay on the train longer, so it is necessary to be comfortable.
Our first stop is Zhangjiajie. On the first day by train, we were quite excited. I brought a deck of mahjong at home, and the four of us just entered the game. However, this train stops and stops, and always seems to make way for other cars. There is still a musty smell in the carriage. I am allergic. I have been coughing since the first day I got on the train. The next day, I felt that time was really slow. I played mahjong all morning and went to bed in the afternoon. At ten o'clock in the evening, when we were going to sleep again, the train stopped at a station. My wife looked out the window and said Liupanshui had arrived. But when I got up in the morning, the train stopped at another station and my wife looked out. He said, why did the train run all night or Liupanshui? I was angry with my wife and said what was going on. I tossed around all night and returned to Liupanshui. Is this not a joke?
On the third day, we went to the dining car for dinner and passed the ordinary sleeping car. There are so many people there that it is difficult to walk. Because we stayed on the train for a long time, we had to prepare our own food and drink, so everyone brought a lot of things. The luggage rack won't fit at all. All piled up in the hallway, looking like refugees. In this way, we stayed on the train for three days and two nights, and arrived in Zhangjiajie at four o'clock in the afternoon on the third day.
We stayed in Zhangjiajie for two days and two nights, went to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, visited Tian Zi, took a cableway car, arrived at Yuanjiajie, took the Bailong ladder, visited Shili Gallery, and ended up in Jin Bianxi. At 4: 40 pm on the fifth day, we boarded the train to Yunnan.
After another 23 hours of operation, the train entered Kunming Railway Station at 3 pm the next day. At the exit of the railway station, some local old people dressed in national costumes welcomed us with singing and dancing. The scene is very touching. Every time I travel in Kunming, I take a bus. Yunnan is full of rugged mountain roads, so we dare not look down from the car, which is very scary. That night, we went to Chuxiong for dinner first, and then headed for Dali. Due to the serious traffic jam on the expressway, drivers choose to take the path, which is even more rugged. My heart was in my throat, and my hands clung to the handrail as if danger would happen at any time. More than 200 kilometers, arrive in Dali at ten o'clock in the evening.
In the next few days, we visited Dali Ancient Town, Lijiang He Sui Ancient Town, Old Town of Lijiang Sifang Street, Kunming Shilin, Yunnan Colorful Peacock Garden, Xishuangbanna Wild Elephant Valley and other scenic spots, and the rest of the time was shopping. These days in Yunnan, I spent too much time on the bus. It is normal to stay on the bus for 4 5 hours every day. On the last day, from Jinghong to Kunming, the journey is 700 kilometers, and the driving time is 10 hour. I'm worried that it's appropriate for a driver to drive so tired. The day after we returned to Yunnan, 1 1: 30, we got on the train again. 12.08, the train left Kunming Railway Station and embarked on a long and sultry road home. After four days and three nights, the train finally entered Harbin Railway Station on the afternoon of April 24th 1.58, ending our train journey.
This trip gave me the feeling that the itinerary was not well arranged, I got up early and got greedy for the dark, and I was scared, too hard and too tired. Eating half-baked rice, landing time is too short, and time on the train is too long. Just this once, I will never join this kind of tour group again.
I used to run tourist trains. It's more reliable for me to answer your question. A tourist train can be understood as a tourist train from its name. You said it was luxurious, but it didn't happen. Tourist trains will only be dispatched when there is leisure on the railway. There are more trains in April-May in spring, and more trains in September-65438+10 in autumn. Why is it related to the body at this time? Many travel agencies did not ask for air-conditioned trains when they applied for special trains. These two times.
The time of the special train is free time on the railway, so the train will stop at a small station for several hours. After arriving at the destination, the car will stop at the garage of the local station, and tourists will get off and play, and then return to the car at night.
Then I tell you that the special train trip, whether you can stay in a hotel or not, is basically a night trip, playing during the day, and you can add attractions. This is because the people who take the special train are basically elderly people, and they all like the whole journey. In addition, local tourism bureaus and scenic spots have subsidies for special trains, and more stops are all income, which is also the reason why the special trains are cheap.
Finally, it is suggested that friends who are going to send their families to do special travel trains should try not to participate in such trips and suffer losses if conditions permit. Why do special trains have to be equipped with doctors? It's not the good service, but the demand in the trip. Many elderly people can't stand such high-intensity travel.
Recently, the Xinjiang tourism special train "Jinhe" was launched. The train passes through grasslands, deserts and lakes, travels around the northwest in about half a month, and finally returns to Tianjin, the starting point.
What is a tourist train? The tourist train is different from the daily fixed point-to-point transportation, but is set according to the itinerary. Tourists get off for sightseeing, return to the special train after the tour and continue the next journey. Some special trains stay on the train and don't need to bring luggage, which is a bit like a cruise.
In fact, there are many kinds of tourist trains, not all of which are luxurious. Let me tell you something about domestic and foreign tourist trains ~
First, there are abundant tourist train lines at home and abroad. There are many tourist trains in China, long-distance, short-distance, fixed and temporary. Many trains with the letter Y are special tourist trains. For example, Y509/Y5 10 between Beijing and Qinhuangdao, and Y9612 tourist train from Xining to Chaka "Mirror of the Sky". A tourist train can also be divided into many sections, such as Shenyang-Kunming Y 132/33, which is divided into Zhangjiajie, Lijiang and Guiyang.
There are also many famous foreign tourist trains. In Thailand, there are special tourist trains from Bangkok to Beibi Province, there is a new Japanese luxury train suite Shiki-Shima in Japan, and there are many luxury trains with decades or hundreds of years of history in Europe, such as the Blue Train in South Africa and the Orient Express in Europe. Some trans-Eurasian Siberian railways, all the way through the vast forests and majestic mountains, finally stopped at the seaside.
Next, jump and jump to pick two well-known tourist trains at home and abroad, specifically.
2. China: revisit the Silk Road special train. The main route starts from Xining, and the last stop is Shapotou in Ningxia Zhongwei.
Facing the "Ancient Silk Road", it goes all the way to the west, across Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Ningxia and other provinces, and passes through famous domestic tourist cities such as Dunhuang, Zhangye, Urumqi, Turpan, Zhongwei and Tonghu Grassland in Inner Mongolia. The train travels thousands of kilometers, passing through snow-capped mountains, deserts, Gobi, grasslands and other beautiful scenery in the northwest.
This kind of special train is usually a train with a sleeper. This kind of travel is slow and takes a long time. Guided by a tour guide, follow the train journey. In addition to playing on the train, eating is generally self-care. The whole price is generally 2980 yuan/person for the upper berth, 3280 yuan/person for the middle berth and 3580 yuan/person for the lower berth; The upper berth of the soft sleeper is 3980 yuan/person, and the lower berth is 4380 yuan/person. More suitable for the elderly, guide to play slowly.
The Silk Road train first arrived in Xining, Qinghai, visited Qinghai Lake and visited Ta 'er Temple.
Then I went to Dunhuang, Gansu, visited the Mogao Grottoes and Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain, and then went to Zhangye to see the colorful Danxia.
Then I came to Urumqi, Xinjiang, to see the reflection of the snow peak in Tianchi, Tianshan Mountain. The water was as clear as a mirror and I visited the Grand Bazaar.
Go to Turpan, see Kanerjing, Thousand Buddha Cave, Grape Valley, taste delicious grapes and Jiaohe Ancient Town.
Come to the Tonghu grassland in Inner Mongolia and see the hinterland of Tengger Desert.
Finally, I returned to Zhongwei, Ningxia, where Gaomiao and Shapotou are on the edge of the Yellow River, and sand and water are integrated.
Third, foreign countries: the mysterious and luxurious mobile palace Venice-Venice-Simplon Orient Express is famous for the classic film Murder on the Orient Express. Taking this train is like entering the classical, elegant and gorgeous European upper-class world.
The express train has 12 sleeping car, 2 staff cars, 3 dining car and 1 bar car, which runs every Monday from March to1October every year. The train runs across Europe, passing through London, Paris, Zurich, Innsbruck and Venice, and passing through magnificent scenery.
Taking this train, you can not only see the magnificent scenery like postcards, but also feel the super five-star service. Everyone got on the bus with a glass of champagne as a grand welcoming ceremony. There are antique carriages and senior chefs who specialize in cooking.
Of course, the price is high. The fare of this train from London to Venice is 1790. In other words, it is more like a mobile luxury palace for upper-class social interaction.
Fourth, the advantages and disadvantages of traveling by train. Jumping sister thinks that the way of traveling has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the one that suits her is the best. If you have the chance, you might as well experience the same way of traveling on the special train ~
From Lanzhou to Dunhuang Y667, it is luxurious and has performances.
