🚂 【Dahezhinan Tourist Train｜17-Day Panoramic Slow Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, Xinjiang Time on the Special Train】
In an era of fast-paced travel, a way of traveling is quietly returning—measuring mountains and rivers by wheels, collecting seasons through window views. In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train sets off again, taking you deep into the heart of Xinjiang, from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, from the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway to the fairy-tale villages of Kanas. No need to change trains throughout the journey, luggage follows you, truly achieving a leisurely trip of ‘lying down to see the scenery’.
🌄 Route Highlights:A classic route spanning northern and southern Xinjiang
The original design of the ‘Dahezhinan’ special train is to allow tourists to deeply experience Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and cultural features while moving comfortably. The route covers the core scenic areas north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, including desert oases, snowy mountains and lakes, grassland pastures, border ports, and historical and cultural districts, balancing natural wonders with local life.
Transportation Innovation:The entire train is equipped with bathroom compartments (2/3/4-person options available), carriages use noise reduction technology, and feature audio-visual entertainment areas, chess and card tables, karaoke, and a dedicated dining car. A professional chef team provides three meals, significantly enhancing the quality of the journey.
Seasonal Advantage:From May to September is the excellent tourist season in Xinjiang, with pleasant weather, green grasslands, clear lakes, and fragrant fruits, especially suitable for long-distance in-depth tours.
Cultural Experience:The itinerary includes visits to local ethnic families, a stroll through Kashgar Old City, and a visit to the Fragrant Concubine Garden, allowing you to learn about traditional lifestyles of various ethnic groups while respecting local customs.
Road Condition Guarantee:The Duku Highway usually opens fully in early June each year (subject to traffic management announcements). This route’s schedule avoids high-risk periods but still retains reasonable flexibility for adjustments to ensure smooth travel as much as possible.
> Note:Due to uncontrollable factors such as weather, scenic area policies, or traffic controls, the travel agency and tourists can negotiate reasonable adjustments to the itinerary order or some attractions. Specific arrangements are subject to confirmation before departure.
