🚂 Dahezhinan Tourist Train:Slow Travel in Xinjiang, 17-Day Panoramic Tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang
In the fast-paced era of travel, a tourist train equipped with bathrooms, multi-functional carriages, and a dedicated chef team is becoming the preferred way for more travelers to explore Xinjiang. In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train sets off again, with the core concept of ‘slow travel + deep experience,’ connecting classic destinations in southern and northern Xinjiang such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati, Sayram Lake, and Kanas. Over 17 days, immerse yourself in the vast landscapes and diverse cultures of Xinjiang.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Journey Through Four Seasons in Xinjiang
The 17-day itinerary of ‘Dahezhinan’ through southern and northern Xinjiang cleverly blends the cultural history of southern Xinjiang with the natural wonders of northern Xinjiang. From the scorching Flaming Mountains to the vast Pamir Plateau, from the rugged beauty of the Duku Highway to the serene mystery of Kanas Lake, each stop presents distinctly different landscapes and customs.
Southern Xinjiang Section:Delve into the old city of Kashgar, stroll through century-old alleys; visit the Stone City and Golden Grassland in Tashkurgan, gaze at the snow-capped peak of Muztagh Ata in the distance; visit local families to learn about the daily lives of various ethnic groups (non-folk cultural home visits).
Duku Highway Highlight Section:Pass through the Tianshan Grand Canyon and the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak Grassland, finally arriving at the Nalati Valley Grassland—this section, known as ‘China’s most beautiful highway,’ is recommended to be open from June to September each year, with the itinerary aligned with the optimal travel period.
Northern Xinjiang Scenic Belt:Circle Sayram Lake to see ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ explore the morning mist of Hemu Village and the sunset at Colorful Beach, ascend Tianshan Tianchi to overlook snow-capped mountain reflections. The entire journey avoids high-intensity hiking, making it suitable for middle-aged, elderly, and family trips.
The train features full-carriage bathroom design, with 2-person, 3-person, and 4-person compartments, equipped with audio-visual systems, chess and card tables, karaoke, and other functional areas. The dining car is served by a professional chef team, balancing travel comfort and social fun.
