Explore the Western Regions:Embark on a Cultural Journey Through Xinjiang Aboard the ‘Kunlun’
🌄 Route Highlights:A Moving ‘Xinjiang Culture Museum’
Since its launch in 2023, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist train has become a ‘star product’ among Xinjiang’s high-end tourist trains, thanks to its unique design concept and in-depth cultural experience. This train is not just a mode of transportation but a moving ‘Xinjiang Culture Museum’—the entire train is inspired by traditional patterns of Xinjiang’s ethnic groups, with soft sleeper compartments featuring intangible cultural heritage elements like Atlas silk and ethnic embroidery, and even the bathroom mirrors are framed with ethnic-style wood carvings.
The train adopts a ‘one car, one theme’ design, with each carriage corresponding to a Xinjiang regional cultural symbol: the Kuqa carriage is inspired by the Kizil Caves murals, the Kashgar carriage incorporates brick carving elements from century-old teahouses, and the Yili carriage recreates the purple romance of lavender fields. The carriages are also equipped with an intelligent audio guide system; passengers can scan a QR code to listen to historical stories behind the attractions, and even hear bilingual commentary recorded in Uyghur and Kazakh.
