🚂 When mentioning Xinjiang, many people picture a blend of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes. To connect these scattered scenic spots into a route, transportation is key. In recent years, a travel mode combining ‘train + destination’ has become popular. Among them, the ‘New National Train’ tourism train product, with its ‘train follows passengers, travel by night and sightsee by day’ model, has attracted many tourists.
💡 What is the ‘New National Train’?
The ‘New National Train’ does not refer to a fixed railway line but is a tourism special train product based on national railway trains. It mainly has the following features:
🛏 ️ One berth throughout, luggage stays on board
It uses 4-person compartments with no berth changes during the trip. Large non-valuable luggage can be stored in the carriage without frequent moving, making it especially suitable for tourists with lots of luggage or traveling with family.
🌙 Travel by night, sightsee by day, saving energy
The train usually runs at night, while daytime is for getting off and sightseeing. This arrangement puts long-distance travel during sleep time, effectively reducing daytime travel fatigue and making the trip more relaxed.
🗺 ️ Northern and Southern Xinjiang loop, see it all in one go
The itinerary covers multiple representative areas of Xinjiang, such as Turpan, Hotan, Kashgar, Kuqa, Nalati, Kanas, Sayram Lake, and Tianshan Tianchi, achieving a loop experience of ‘sleep on the train, sightsee off the train’.
🛋 ️ Complete facilities, stable environment
The carriages are equipped with comfortable beds, reading lights, charging ports, and other basic facilities. Constant temperature air conditioning and relatively smooth operation provide a stable resting environment for tourists.
