🚂 What is it like to travel through Xinjiang by train?
In 2026, more and more travelers are choosing to explore Xinjiang in depth through ‘slow travel’—no need to pack luggage every day or rush between hotels. Just board a dedicated tourist train, and after a good night’s sleep, you arrive at the next picturesque destination. Among them, the ‘Kunlun’ train, a high-end tourist train launched by the Urumqi Group in 2023, continues to attract attention with its comfortable carriage configurations and a 14-day itinerary covering the core landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘Kunlun’ tourist train focuses on a comprehensive in-depth tour of northern and southern Xinjiang, spanning the Tianshan Mountains and connecting classic destinations such as the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, the Kizil Grand Canyon, Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, the Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, and Kanas. The entire journey uses air-conditioned tourist trains, with scenic visits arranged during the day and train travel at night, saving travel time while ensuring rest quality.
The itinerary covers diverse landscapes and cultural attractions, including deserts, oases, snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities. You can experience the historical depth of the Silk Road while immersing yourself in the magnificent natural scenery. For example, visit highland villages in Taxkorgan, experience misty forest cabins in Hemu, see the colorful rock formations along the Irtysh River at the Rainbow Beach, and gaze at the snow-capped peak of Bogda from Heavenly Lake Tianchi… Each stop is carefully designed to balance pace and experience.
It is worth mentioning that the train offers a variety of room types, from four-person shared bathroom compartments to double luxury compartments with private bathrooms, and even single private spaces, meeting the needs of different family structures and travel preferences. The interiors are decorated with Xinjiang elements, and soft sleeper compartments feature desks, sofas, and wardrobes, with some room types having washbasin areas to enhance travel comfort.
