🚞 【New Comfortable Travel Experience｜“Yangtze River Delta Star” Tourist Special Train, Slow Travel with Bathrooms】
In this fast-paced era, more and more travelers are seeking a deep experience of ‘slowing down.’ In the spring of 2026, a tourist special train named ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ is quietly becoming a new choice for long-distance Xinjiang tours—not only for its magnificent east-west route but also for the detail of having bathrooms in the carriages, making long journeys no longer a compromise.
This special train is not an ordinary green train but a customized comfortable tourist train. According to currently available public information, its carriage configuration emphasizes privacy and convenience, especially suitable for elderly tourists, family trips, or groups who value travel quality. The bathroom means no need to queue for public facilities; washing and using the toilet can be done in the compartment, greatly enhancing the comfort of the journey. This design is particularly thoughtful during multi-day trips across Gobi, desert, and plateau areas.
📍 Route Highlights:Starting from Jiangnan, traversing the Western Regions scenery
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train starts from Shanghai, heads west through the edges of Gansu and Qinghai into Xinjiang, and finally deepens into southern and northern Xinjiang. The entire 17-day journey connects diverse landscapes such as the Taklamakan Desert, Pamir Plateau, Tianshan Canyon, Ili River Valley, and Altai Forest Grassland, forming a classic long route blending natural wonders and cultural landscapes.
Unlike the tight pace of regular group tours, this route adopts a ‘rest on the train + sightseeing off the train’ model, with deep exploration at stops during the day and sleeping in a moving ‘home’ at night, eliminating the hassle of frequent luggage handling and hotel changes. This ‘train follows the traveler, scenery changes with the road’ approach is especially suitable for tourists who want to easily see beautiful Xinjiang without the fatigue of travel.

Especially for the elderly, convenient nighttime toilet access, stable hot water supply, and reduced public area movement are key to improving comfort. Additionally, the train is equipped with medical emergency support and 24-hour attendant service to further ensure a worry-free journey.
Furthermore, the special train stops are mostly scheduled in the early morning or evening, avoiding peak sunlight and crowds, allowing tourists to capture high-quality travel images of Karakul Lake reflections, Colorful Beach sunsets, and Hemu Village morning mist under optimal lighting.
📌 Warm Tips:
Xinjiang has a vast territory with large temperature differences between day and night; it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket and comfortable hiking shoes.
Some sections have high altitudes (such as the Pamir Plateau); please inform the travel agency in advance if you have special health conditions.
All itinerary arrangements comply with national laws and regulations, respect the customs of various ethnic groups, and promote civilized tourism.
