🚂 Traveling slowly through Xinjiang by train, the ‘Gobi Cruise’ special train opens a panoramic journey
On the vast land of Xinjiang, a travel method is quietly gaining popularity—it doesn’t rely on self-driving or frequent transfers, but uses a custom double-decker air-conditioned tourist train to take you across the Tianshan Mountains, from the Flaming Mountains to Kanas Lake, from Kashgar Old City to Sayram Lake, all the way ‘sleeping in the scenery, traveling in a painting.’ This train, vividly named the ‘Gobi Cruise,’ doesn’t actually sail on water but is named for its smooth comfort, relaxed pace, and leisurely journey like a cruise ship. In the spring and summer of 2026, this 13-day panoramic route covering the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang is fully on sale, becoming a top choice for many tourists, especially those who value travel quality.
📍 Route Highlights:One trip, see the diverse landscapes of Xinjiang
The ‘Gobi Cruise’ special train spans northern and southern Xinjiang, cleverly connecting natural wonders and cultural landscapes. On the itinerary, you can experience the fiery charm of the Turpan Basin, visit the ancient water engineering marvel of Karez; delve into the streets of Kashgar Old City, stroll around Id Kah, and experience the city’s historical texture; and also explore the lush Nalati Grassland, the clear blue Sayram Lake, the mysterious tranquility of Kanas Lake, and the colorful landforms of the Rainbow Beach.
Notably, the route design fully considers seasonal factors. For example, in May, since the Duku Highway is not fully open, the itinerary will be changed to air transfer or alternative routes to minimize impact on the overall experience. The main transportation is by train, with short bus transfers between scenic spots, significantly reducing continuous travel time, making it more suitable for travelers seeking comfort and a balanced pace.
