In an era of fast-paced travel, more and more people are longing for a “slow down” way to experience distant places—no need to catch early flights or drag luggage to change hotels. Just board a well-equipped, service-oriented tourist special train and traverse mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas in a moving “home.” In 2026, the “Dahezhinan Hao” special tourist train sets off again, starting from Zhengzhou and Luoyang, crossing the Central Plains and the Northwest, and delving deep into the heart of southern and northern Xinjiang, embarking on a 17-day journey that balances comfort and scenic depth.
🌄 Introduction to Route and Destination Highlights
The southern and northern Xinjiang route taken by the “Dahezhinan Hao” is one of the few classic loops in China with wide coverage and strong seasonal adaptability. The itinerary not only covers natural wonders in northern Xinjiang like Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland but also delves into southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, and Taxkorgan County, showcasing diverse landscapes and cultural features.
Turpan:Famous for the Flaming Mountains, Karez irrigation system, and Grape Valley. Though hot in summer, the oasis culture and water engineering are impressive.
Kashgar Old City:Preserves intact traditional neighborhoods. Attractions like the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb showcase deep historical heritage.
Pamir Plateau:Passes by白沙湖 (Baisha Lake) and Karakul Lake, with distant views of Muztagh Ata Peak. Highland lakes and snow-capped mountains complement each other.
Duku Highway:Known as one of China’s most beautiful highways, from Kuqa to Nalati, traversing Tianshan canyons and grasslands with varied scenery across seasons.
Bayanbulak & Nalati:Two major grassland wetland systems. The sunset at the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns and the morning mist in the valley grassland are favorites of photography enthusiasts.
Sayram Lake:Called “the last tear of the Atlantic,” with azure waters surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Wildflowers bloom in spring and summer.
🚂 Take the “Dahezhinan Hao” and leisurely travel through southern and northern Xinjiang in 17 days: A Western Region Scroll on a Comfortable TrainKanas & Hemu:In autumn, the forests are dyed in layers of color; in winter, they are covered in silver. The Tuva villages are serene and picturesque.
