🚂 Lying down across the Tianshan Mountains from north to south—the ‘Gobi Cruise’ tourist special train embarks on a new journey in 2026
On the vast land of Xinjiang, how can one easily take in the magnificent scenery spanning 5,000 kilometers? Without the need to switch buses or frequently move luggage, the ‘Gobi Cruise’ tourist special train adopts a unique approach of ‘the train follows the traveler, with a fixed berth throughout,’ bringing comfort and ease back to travel. This 13-day panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang connects snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, canyons, and cultural landscapes, truly achieving ‘sleep in the scenery, wake up at the destination.’
📍 Route Highlights:One journey, experience the essence of Xinjiang
The ‘Gobi Cruise’ is not an actual cruise on water but a figurative name for a customized double-decker air-conditioned tourist train. The train features soft and hard sleeper compartments, with no need to change trains or berths throughout the journey, and large luggage can be stored on board, greatly reducing travel burdens. The itinerary covers Kanas, Hemu, Nalati, and Sayram Lake in northern Xinjiang, Kashgar Old City, Karakul Lake, and Keziliya Grand Canyon in southern Xinjiang, as well as the Duku Highway crossing the Tianshan Mountains (subject to seasonal opening conditions), blending natural wonders with urban landscapes.
It is worth mentioning that the itinerary includes multiple special experiences: Turpan fruit feast, cold-water fish feast, ethnic song and dance performances, and ancient road hot spring relaxation, allowing taste buds and body to immerse in Xinjiang’s diverse culture. All scenic spot arrangements are planned based on current accessible conditions. In case of temporary changes due to weather, traffic, or scenic area policies, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists for reasonable optimization while safeguarding their rights.

It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists, family trips, and travelers who want to deeply explore Xinjiang at a slow pace. The train compartments offer good privacy, with soft sleeper compartments equipped with locks, and hard sleeper compartments mainly in 4-bed configurations, avoiding the inconvenience of traditional 6-bed upper and lower berths.
In the spring and summer of 2026, Xinjiang’s climate is pleasant, with grasslands turning green, lakes clear, and although apricot blossoms have faded, lavender is about to bloom, making it an ideal time for a panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang. Whether you are visiting Xinjiang for the first time or hoping to systematically revisit it, this 13-day special train journey offers a worry-free, comfortable, and content-rich option.
