Xinjiang tourism special trains are generally divided into two categories: ‘Northern and Southern Xinjiang Loop’ and ‘Single Region In-depth Tour’, with trip durations ranging from 8 to 15 days. Taking the summer 2026 schedule as an example:
Northern Xinjiang Special Train:Departing from Urumqi, passing through Kuytun, Yining, and Burqin, covering attractions such as Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kanas, with a total duration of about 10 days.
Southern Xinjiang Special Train:Departing from Urumqi, passing through Korla, Aksu, and Kashgar, visiting the Taklamakan Desert, Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves, and the Pamir Plateau, with a total duration of about 12 days.
Northern and Southern Xinjiang Loop:Connecting the above regions, with a trip duration of about 15 days, suitable for tourists with ample time.
🚂 Transportation connections:The special train travels at night and stops at cities near attractions during the day. Tourists transfer to local tourist buses for sightseeing, reducing fatigue from long-distance travel.
Content Summary💰 Special Train Cost Composition and Influencing Factors
Special train costs typically include transportation (hard sleeper/soft sleeper on the special train), accommodation (local 3-star to 4-star hotels), meals (group meals), tour guide services, and first-entry tickets to scenic areas, excluding personal expenses and optional activities. Costs are affected by the following factors:
1. Cabin class: Soft sleeper prices are about 30% higher than hard sleeper but offer better privacy.
2. Departure season: June-August is the peak tourism season, with costs 15%-20% higher than the off-season (April-May, September-October).

4. Additional services: Upgrades such as better hotels or special meals (e.g., whole roasted lamb) require extra payment.
