🚂 Yangtze River Delta Star Tourist Special Train:A New Slow Travel Experience Across East and West
In the fast-paced modern life, more and more tourists are seeking a ‘slow down’ travel style. In 2026, with the continuous upgrade of high-quality tourist special train services, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist special train, with its unique model of ‘travel by day, move by night, train follows people,’ has become an ideal choice for many families and silver-haired groups to deeply explore Xinjiang. This route not only connects the cultural imprints of southern Xinjiang with the natural landscapes of northern Xinjiang but also makes the journey itself an enjoyment through comfortable train configurations and a well-paced itinerary.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Journey from Jiangnan Water Towns to the Western Regions
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train starts from Shanghai, heads west, crosses the edges of Gansu and Qinghai, and finally delves deep into Xinjiang. The 17-day journey covers the Lop Nur Village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, the historic streets of Kashgar Old City, the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway, the winding river bends of Bayanbulak Grassland, the aerial pastures of Nalati, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, and the autumn fairy tale of Kanas and Hemu Village in northern Xinjiang (Note: Actual scenery is subject to seasonal changes and natural conditions at the time of travel).
Unlike the tight pace of traditional group tours, this route leverages the special train’s ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning’ feature, converting long-distance travel time into nighttime rest periods, while focusing on immersive visits to core attractions during the day. The carriages are equipped with bathrooms, smart facilities, and leisure entertainment spaces, balancing comfort and convenience, especially suitable for travelers who want to reduce hassle and prioritize experience quality.
