This journey through Xinjiang was absolutely unforgettable! The Silk Road Express train provided a comfortable and scenic way to explore, and the guides were very attentive and knowledgeable. The visits to Kanas Lake and the Tianshan Grand Canyon were highlights, offering breathtaking views that words can't fully describe. The local experiences, like the naan-making workshop, were unique and enriching. I loved every moment and highly recommend this tour!
