🚂 [Slow Journey through the Western Regions, Enjoy the Silk Road] – ‘Chengdu Number’ Tourist Special Train Starts a 16-Day Immersive Journey
When high-speed rail becomes the norm, one travel method chooses to slow down: settle on the tracks, wake up in the scenery. In the summer of 2026, the ‘Chengdu Number’ tourist special train sets off again, with age-friendly design, full-service butler service, and in-depth cultural experiences, creating a safe, comfortable, and rhythmic panoramic tour of Xinjiang for middle-aged and elderly friends. Unlike the tight and rushed pace of regular group tours, this special train integrates accommodation, dining, transportation, and sightseeing, truly achieving ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people travel within a painting.’
🌄 Route Highlights:Cross the Tianshan Mountains from North to South, Experience All Four Seasons of the Western Regions
The ‘Chengdu Number’ route spans the essence of both Southern and Northern Xinjiang, from the heat of the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the snowy peaks and lakes of the Pamir Plateau; from the bustling streets of Kashgar Old City to the misty wooden houses of Hemu Village; from the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway to the blue tranquility of Sayram Lake—connecting 14 core scenic spots along the way, covering deserts, grasslands, lakes, snow mountains, ancient cities, folk villages, and other landscapes and cultural scenes.
Notably, the itinerary cleverly avoids the pain points of high-intensity hiking and frequent hotel changes. Tourists do not need to move luggage throughout the trip, sleep peacefully in the special train compartment at night, and get off to explore during the day, truly achieving ‘enjoy beautiful scenery by day, sleep soundly by night.’ The compartments are equipped with bathrooms, constant temperature facilities, SOS call systems, and feature tea rooms, chess and card areas, and entertainment cars to meet social and leisure needs during the journey. Additionally, a doctor accompanies the group throughout, coordinating with medical resources along the route to ensure health and safety.
