🚂 What is it like to travel through Xinjiang by train?
In the vast Xinjiang, where scenic spots are often hundreds of kilometers apart, self-driving is exhausting, hotel changes are frequent, and itineraries are tight, often turning travel into a ‘rush.’ However, the tourist special trains that have emerged in recent years are redefining deep, slow travel with a rhythm of ‘travel by day, sleep by night, and stay in one berth throughout.’ Among them, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train, with its comfortable carriages, reasonable routes, and a 14-day loop covering the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang, has become a new choice for many travelers exploring the Western Regions.
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The ‘Kunlun’ is not an ordinary train but an air-conditioned sleeper tourist special train specifically designed for long-distance travel in Xinjiang. Launched by Urumqi in 2023, it has continuously optimized its services and routes through 2026. It connects three major geographical units—the Altai Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains—spanning the grasslands and lakes of northern Xinjiang and the oases and plateaus of southern Xinjiang, covering diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, ancient cities, and canyons in a single trip.
From the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the White Sand Lake on the Pamir Plateau, from the alleys of Kashgar’s Old City to the morning mist of Hemu Village, and then to the azure waters of Sayram Lake and the aerial pastures of Nalati—this route covers over 80% of Xinjiang’s most recognizable landscapes. The train runs smoothly at night and arrives at core scenic spots during the day, so travelers don’t need to move luggage or repeatedly check into hotels, truly achieving ‘sleep on the train, see the scenery outside the window.’
Additionally, the itinerary includes multiple cultural experiences:Such as watching traditional dances, visiting local ethnic families, and tasting regional cuisine, blending natural scenery with cultural memories into a complete impression of the Western Regions.
