🌄 Route Highlights and Destination Introduction
In 2026, the “New Southern Xiaoxiang” launched this 18-day full Xinjiang route, spanning Southern and Northern Xinjiang, connecting classic landmarks like Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Pamir Plateau, and Kashgar Old City. The itinerary not only covers natural wonders such as Yardang landforms, Danxia Wucai Beach, and the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns but also incorporates rich cultural experiences, including intangible cultural heritage Muqam performances, visits to various ethnic families, and Bazaar folk customs.
According to the current (May 2026) scenic area opening policies, the above attractions are all open to tourists normally. Some areas, like the Pamir Plateau, require advance permits, which the travel agency will assist with before departure. Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night, but the climate from May to September is generally pleasant, making it one of the best travel windows of the year.
The special train design focuses on comfort and elderly-friendliness, with carriages equipped with non-slip floors, handrails, emergency call devices, and features a dining car and multi-functional entertainment carriage offering chess, cards, karaoke, and travel photography services to keep the journey lively. Onboard certified doctors and 24-hour butlers ensure health and service needs are met.
