🚂 【Dahezhinan Xinjiang Luxury Tourist Train Route and Ticket Prices Announced】
When rail travel meets the vast Western Regions, a slow journey across the Tianshan Mountains is quietly setting off. In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train will operate again, featuring full-train bathrooms, dedicated dining cars, and multi-functional carriages, connecting the heat of Turpan, the vastness of the Pamir Plateau, the grandeur of the Duku Highway, and the tranquility of Kanas Lake. This is not a quick check-in, but an immersive reading of the border region’s landscape—the train itself is a mobile comfortable residence, with the flowing seasons of Xinjiang outside the window.
🌄 Route and Destination In-Depth Experience
The ‘Dahezhinan’ 17-day panoramic route across northern and southern Xinjiang covers the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang. The journey starts from the Central Plains, passes through the Hexi Corridor into Xinjiang, first arrives at the eastern gateway of Turpan, then delves into the hinterlands of southern Xinjiang in Kashgar and Tashkurgan, then heads north along the Duku Highway, crossing the Tianshan Mountains, and finally reaches Kanas and Hemu at the foot of the Altai Mountains in northern Xinjiang.
Along the way, it encompasses diverse landforms: the red folds of the Flaming Mountains, the thousand-year wisdom of the Karez irrigation system, the mirror-like reflections of Baisha Lake, the sunset at the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, the clarity of Sayram Lake known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ and the colorful rainbow of the Multicolored Beach at sunset. The Russian-style buildings on Liuxing Street in Yining, the alley textures of Kashgar’s Old City, and the bustling market atmosphere of Urumqi’s Grand Bazaar together create an extraordinary picture of Western life.
It is worth noting that this route adopts a ‘special train + land transfer’ model, retaining the relaxed pace of train travel while using short-distance buses to reach the core of scenic spots, reducing transfer fatigue. According to publicly available information from the Xinjiang Cultural and Tourism Department for 2026, the Duku Highway is usually open from early June to the end of September (subject to the year’s traffic announcements), and all tour dates are scheduled within this window to ensure the feasibility of the itinerary.
