In March, China has already grown and the warblers have flown in China, and the country has entered the golden season of spring flower viewing from south to north and east to west. Spring in Xinjiang came later than before, and Xinjiang people are looking forward to the arrival of spring.
Turpan is the first place to usher in spring in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, and in mid-March, it entered spring early, and 10,000 mu of wild apricot blossoms were ready to bloom, and pink apricot blossoms decorated the land of Xinjiang particularly enchanting. In this season of pleasant spring colors and wild flowers, three or five friends in Rio took the "Southern Xinjiang Spring" tourist train to have a spring trip to Xinjiang.
Why do I have to take a tourist train to travel to Xinjiang?
Xinjiang is really too big, covering an area of 1.66 million square kilometers, accounting for about one-sixth of China's land. Tibet is one more area than Sichuan Province, the second largest in the country, so it is difficult for bus or self-drive travel to meet the needs of high-end guests in terms of safety and comfort.
Although it is said that flying is comfortable, it is because Xinjiang is large and the attractions are far from the airport. The tourist train can be extended to small cities, closer to scenic spots, greatly shortening the travel time, and ensuring riding comfort, reducing fatigue and danger on the road to self-driving.
Train travel is the most poetic way to travel in the world, get off during the day and go with the train at night, choose the best railway line, stop at a time, and all stops are not far from the scenic landscape.
Therefore, traveling Xinjiang by train is the most romantic way to open Xinjiang travel, and it is also a new way to travel completely on the 160W square kilometers of Xinjiang.
