🚂 2026 New National Train Xinjiang Tourism Special Train:Slowly traverse the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, taking in the Western Regions’ scenery from one train
In the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, travel should not be synonymous with rushing and fatigue. With the increasingly improved railway network, tourism special trains are becoming the preferred way for more people to deeply explore Xinjiang. In 2026, the ‘New National Train’ tourism special train, with its rhythm of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, the train moving with the people, and stopping when people play,’ connects the classic landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang—from the scorching Flaming Mountains to the serene Kanas Lake, from the majestic Pamir Plateau to the gentle Ili River Valley. One train, 14 days, takes you leisurely through the landscapes of four seasons.
📍 Detailed Routes and Destinations
The ‘New National Train’ special train spans three major regions: Eastern, Southern, and Northern Xinjiang, covering natural wonders and cultural landmarks. During the journey, you will visit Turpan’s Karez Wells and Flaming Mountains, experiencing the wisdom of ancient water conservancy projects; delve into Hotan, experiencing the craftsmanship of Atlas silk weaving, and stroll through the ancient streets of Tuancheng; travel along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway to白沙湖 and Karakul Lake, gazing at the snow-capped peak of Muztagh Ata; enter the ancient city of Kashgar, touching the memories of the Silk Road in its millennia-old alleys; traverse the southern section of the Duku Highway, marveling at the grandeur of the Tianshan Gorge; and finally arrive at Hemu and Kanas, immersing yourself in the autumn colors (or summer greenery) of the Altai Mountains.
Additionally, the itinerary includes the azure blue of Sayram Lake, the vastness of the Nalati Grassland, the fragrance of lavender gardens, and the Tianchi Lake near Urumqi—this alpine lake, known as the ‘Jade Pool,’ brings a peaceful end to the journey.
Notably, the southern Xinjiang section relies on the recently opened Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway, significantly reducing traditional road travel time and improving comfort; while the northern Xinjiang section, through scenic roads like the Ahe Highway and Duku Highway, achieves the experience of ‘the car moving on the road, and people traveling in a painting.’
