🚂 What is it like to travel through Xinjiang by train?
In the vast Xinjiang, the biggest challenge of travel is often not ‘what to see’ but ‘how to get there.’ Hundreds of kilometers of driving, frequent hotel changes, rushing in the morning and evening… discourage many tourists. The ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train, which continues to operate in 2026, is redefining the way to deeply explore Xinjiang with its ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one berth all the way’ model—focus on sightseeing during the day, sleep soundly in a comfortable sleeper carriage at night, and wake up to the next destination.
🌄 Routes and Destinations:A Panoramic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
The ‘Kunlun’ 14-day loop route is scientifically designed, connecting the core scenic areas of the Tianshan Mountains, covering alpine lakes, grasslands, wetlands, desert oases, historical cities, and modern cultural experiences. The itinerary covers three major geographical units: the Altai Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, passing through representative regions such as Turpan, Kuqa, Kashgar, Tashkurgan, Nalati, Yining, and Altay, without backtracking, achieving a systematic exploration of Xinjiang’s natural and cultural resources.
Along the way, you can enjoy the red wonders of the Flaming Mountains, the layered rock walls of the Tianshan Grand Canyon, the clear reflections of Baisha Lake, and the snowy peaks of Muztagh Ata; you can also stroll through the streets of Kashgar’s ancient city, visit local families, sail on Sayram Lake, and ascend Yunxiao Peak to overlook Hemu’s morning mist. Additionally, scenic roads like the southern section of the Duku Highway and the Ahe Highway are cleverly integrated into the itinerary, making the journey itself a moving landscape.
