🚂 [New Concept of Slow Travel:Crossing the Heartland of China by Train, Witnessing the Vast Landscapes]
In this fast-paced era, ‘slowing down’ has become a luxury. In 2026, more and more travelers are choosing railways as their medium, spending 17 days starting from Shanghai on the east coast, heading west through the Hexi Corridor, deep into the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, and finally arriving at the foot of the Pamir Plateau—this tourist special train, named ‘Yangtze River Delta Star,’ is connecting the most magnificent natural and cultural landscapes of eastern and western China in a comfortable and leisurely manner.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Journey Across East and West
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ is not a traditional sightseeing group, but a mobile hotel with complete facilities and attentive service. The train uses fixed carriages throughout the journey, so passengers don’t need to frequently change trains or move luggage. They get off during the day to explore key attractions and return to their familiar sleeper berths at night, truly achieving ‘the train moves with you, the scenery changes with the route.’
The itinerary covers Kashgar Old City in southern Xinjiang, the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, the Golden Grassland and Stone City ruins in Taxian County; in northern Xinjiang, it includes classic destinations like Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas Lake, and Hemu Village, passing through the Duku Highway, the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, and the Lop Nur Village area with strong geographical features. Whether it’s snowy mountains and lakes, grasslands and wetlands, or desert oases and historical relics, this route offers a multi-dimensional visual and cultural experience.
Notably, the Duku Highway (Day 8) is recommended for summer opening, and the 2026 schedule (June 15, July 6, August 6, August 26, September 15) covers its optimal travel period, allowing tourists to smoothly experience the wonder of ‘four seasons in one day, different skies every ten miles.’

🌿 Final Words:A Dialogue About Time and Scenery
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ does not pursue the number of check-ins but emphasizes immersion and comfort. Sitting on the slowly moving train, watching the Gobi transform into snowy mountains and oases give way to grasslands, this spatial transition itself is poetic. In 2026, why not give yourself a complete vacation, put down your phone, stay away from the noise, and use 17 days to complete a spiritual journey from the Jiangnan water towns to the western frontier.
