🚂 Xinjiang Kunlun Special Train:Slow Journey Through Northern and Southern Xinjiang, 14-Day Panoramic Immersive Tour (2026 Schedule and Price Details)
Want to visit the snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, ancient cities, and deserts across the Tianshan Mountains in one go? And hope to avoid changing hotels, carrying luggage, and maintain a relaxed pace throughout the trip? The newly upgraded Kunlun Special Train in 2026, operating on a ‘mobile star-rated room’ model, offers travelers a way to leisurely explore the beauty of Xinjiang. Launched in 2023 by Urumqi, this special train has become a popular choice for medium-to-long-distance slow travel due to its stable schedule, comfortable carriages, and in-depth routes.
🌄 Route Highlights:One Train, Explore the Best of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
The Kunlun Special Train is not an ordinary train but a fully air-conditioned tourist special train integrating accommodation, dining, sightseeing, and guided tours. The entire journey lasts 14 days, starting from Urumqi, traversing southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar, Taxkorgan, and Kuqa, then crossing the Duku Highway into northern Xinjiang’s Ili River Valley, Sayram Lake, Altay’s Hemu and Kanas, and finally returning to Urumqi. Along the way, it covers iconic attractions such as Turpan’s Flaming Mountain, Grape Valley, Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, Nalati Grassland, Kuerdening, Colorful Beach, and Tianshan Tianchi, truly achieving ‘one train to travel across northern and southern Xinjiang.’
The carriage design balances comfort and cultural feel: soft sleeper compartments are equipped with desks, sofas, washing areas or bathrooms, with interiors incorporating Xinjiang elements without being overly ornate. The entire train has 8 sleeper carriages, each carrying 20–24 people depending on the room type, ensuring space is not crowded. It is especially suitable for elderly tourists and families who value privacy and wish to reduce travel fatigue.
Please note that the itinerary may be reasonably adjusted due to objective factors such as weather, traffic, or scenic spot openings. The specific arrangements are subject to the travel contract signed before departure.
