New National Train Tourist Train:A moving scenic line across northern and southern Xinjiang 🚂
I. Detailed Introduction of the Route or Destination: A Deep Journey Across the Tianshan Mountains
Xinjiang, covering one-sixth of China’s land area, boasts both the vastness of ‘a solitary smoke straight in the desert’ and the softness of ‘snow-capped mountains reflecting emerald lakes.’ In 2026, the New National Train Tourist Train, positioned as a ‘moving star-rated hotel,’ connects the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang into a 14-day in-depth travel route. The train features fully enclosed air-conditioned carriages equipped with bathrooms, large viewing windows, and charging ports. The 4-person compartments have upper and lower berths, offering spaciousness and strong privacy. The train travels at night and stops during the day, allowing tourists to cross thousands of miles in their sleep and arrive at new attractions upon waking, truly achieving ‘rest while the scenery moves.’
The geographical differences between northern and southern Xinjiang create distinct natural and cultural landscapes:Northern Xinjiang, represented by Kanas and Sayram Lake, features grassland and lake scenery—lush green in summer and colorful forests in autumn. Southern Xinjiang, centered around Kashgar Old City and Hotan Night Market, showcases rich ethnic cultures and the historical heritage of the Silk Road. The New National Train’s design cleverly balances the characteristics of both regions, covering the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, the Kunlun Mountains in Hotan, the old city streets of Kashgar, and the Nalati Grassland in Ili, allowing tourists to experience Xinjiang’s diverse charm in one trip.
