🚂 New National Train Xinjiang Tourism Special Train｜A Slow Journey Across the Tianshan Mountains, 14-Day Immersive Tour of Beautiful Xinjiang
In the vast and expansive Xinjiang, if you want to cover both the cultural depth of Southern Xinjiang and the natural wonders of Northern Xinjiang in one trip, the most convenient and comfortable way is to take a tourism special train. The ‘New National Train’ Xinjiang Tourism Special Train is designed for this purpose—it follows a ‘day tour, night travel’ rhythm, allowing tourists to explore deeply during the day and sleep soundly in a moving cozy space at night, without the need to frequently move luggage or endure long bumpy rides. In the spring, summer, and autumn of 2026, this route has scheduled multiple departures, offering a relaxed choice for travelers yearning for the Western Regions scenery.
🌄 Route Highlights:Visit the Essence of Both Southern and Northern Xinjiang in One Trip
The ‘New National Train’ special train itinerary spans three major regions: Eastern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and Northern Xinjiang, connecting the scorching Flaming Mountains, the majestic Kunlun Mountains, the vast Pamir Plateau, the gentle Ili River Valley, and the serene Altay秘境. From the Karez system in Turpan to the Atlas silk in Hotan, from the streets of Kashgar Old City to the morning mist in Hemu Village, from the green carpet of Nalati Grassland to the azure of Sayram Lake, the journey features diverse landscapes and cultural integration, showcasing the rich face of Xinjiang as a multi-ethnic settlement.
It is worth mentioning that the special train specially arranges a ride through the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway—this railway line circling the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert is not only an important part of China’s railway network but also allows tourists to witness the ecological changes and engineering marvels at the desert’s edge from the window. Additionally, the itinerary includes scenic roads like the southern section of the Duku Highway (depending on opening conditions that year) and the Ahe Highway, making the journey itself a scenic experience.
