New National Train Xinjiang Tourism Special Train:A moving scenic line across northern and southern Xinjiang 🌄
I. Route Highlights: The Unique Experience of Seeing Xinjiang by Train
Xinjiang is vast with scattered attractions, and traditional travel methods often drain energy due to long drives. The New National Train Special Train, designed as a ‘mobile viewing platform,’ deeply integrates trains with tourism, allowing passengers to traverse northern and southern Xinjiang comfortably in the carriages. The 2026 upgraded train features all-soft sleeper compartments, each equipped with panoramic windows, charging ports, and temperature and humidity control systems. Night travel uses noise-reduction technology to ensure sleep quality.
The route cleverly connects key attractions across the Tianshan Mountains: from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the lake and mountain scenery of Kanas, from the folk customs of Kashgar Old City to the pastoral scenes of Nalati Grassland. The 14-day itinerary covers 8 5A-level scenic spots and 12 World Heritage tentative sites. The specially designed ‘day-stop, night-travel’ mode allows deep exploration during the day and train travel at night, maximizing time.
The train features a ‘one carriage, one scene’ theme, with each compartment decorated based on different Xinjiang regional cultures. For example, the Turpan carriage has grape trellis-style ceiling lights, and the Kashgar carriage is adorned with Atlas silk patterns, immersing passengers in rich ethnic cultural atmospheres from the moment they board.
