🚂 Dahezhinan Tourist Train:Slow Journey Through Northern and Southern Xinjiang, 17-Day Panoramic Tour
If you are tired of the travel pace of rushing between attractions and squeezing onto buses, why not try taking a special train to slowly traverse the vast landscapes of Xinjiang. In 2026, the “Dahezhinan” themed tourist train, equipped with full-train bathrooms, comfortable compartments, and multi-functional carriages, offers travelers a relaxed and in-depth way to travel—view snow-capped mountains and lakes during the day, and listen to music, play chess, or sip tea on the train at night, truly achieving “the train moves with the scenery, and people are within the painting.”
🌄 Route Highlights:Explore the Best of Northern and Southern Xinjiang in One Trip
This 17-day itinerary covers the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang: from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, from the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway to the forest secrets of Kanas, and then to Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley, encompassing almost all the lake and mountain scenery of Northern Xinjiang and the plateau charm of Southern Xinjiang.
Notably, the itinerary includes the full passage of the Duku Highway (subject to its opening status that year), a route many self-driving tourists dream of but are limited by road conditions and time. The combination of special train and land transfer ensures travel efficiency while preserving the immersive experience of viewing the scenery along the way.
Additionally, the train is equipped with a dedicated dining car and a professional chef team, providing hot meals daily that meet hygiene standards; the multi-functional carriage features an audio-visual system, chess and card tables, and karaoke equipment, meeting social and leisure needs during the journey.
