Ürümqi by lofi train

What you see from the train

Ürümqi is stop 34 of 62 on the route, between Almaty and Xi'an. The train arrives from Almaty through steppe, stops at an illustrated station with the city's name over the doors, potted plants and lamps along the platform, and leaves for Xi'an through desert. Inside the carriage nothing changes: Toffee keeps coding and Cloud keeps reading.

The Ürümqi track

Its station track is Desert Stars over Ürümqi, named after the city and written for the minutes when the train pulls in.

Real local time and live weather

The light outside the window follows Ürümqi's real clock: day, dusk or night, depending on where the sun is over the city right now. The weather on the stream is the live weather there, so rain in Ürümqi means rain on the window. When the train is somewhere else on its 62-station loop, the mini-map shows where.
