🚂 What is it like to travel through Xinjiang by train?
As the train slowly pulls out of the station, the endless Gobi, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands pass by outside the window, while inside the carriage it is as comfortable as a mobile hotel—this is not imagination, but the travel experience being realized by the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train. In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ is launching a 17-day panoramic tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang (Duku version), with ‘departure in the evening and arrival in the morning + full compartment + bathroom’ as its core, transforming long-distance travel into a leisurely cultural journey. Unlike the tight pace of traditional group tours, this route focuses more on the quality and immersion of the journey itself.
🌄 Route Highlights:Crossing the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, experiencing all four seasons of Xinjiang at once
This 17-day itinerary covers Northern and Southern Xinjiang, including classic areas such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati, Kanas, and Sayram Lake. From the scorching Flaming Mountains to the clear and cold Tianchi Lake, from the historical traces of Tashkurgan Stone City to the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, the itinerary skillfully connects natural landscapes and cultural landmarks.
Notably, the train passes through the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway—a scenic road known as ‘one of China’s most beautiful highways,’ recommended for its brief summer opening. The ‘Dahezhinan’ precisely matches the opening window, arranging crossings in multiple tour groups from June to September, allowing travelers to witness the magnificent spectacle of experiencing four seasons in one day and different weather every ten miles.
The carriage itself is also part of the journey. The train features a full-compartment design with bathrooms, thermostatic toilets, SOS emergency call devices, and ergonomic beds, along with multi-functional carriages integrating dining, audio-visual, chess and card games, and social functions. 24-hour train butler service and an onboard chef team ensure meal quality, making long-distance travel less tiring.
