🚂 [Slow Journey to the Western Regions · Special Train Tour] — “Yangtze River Delta Star” Tourist Special Train 2026 In-Depth Experience Journey
When high-speed rail becomes the norm, a tourist special train crossing east and west becomes a rare poetic choice. In 2026, the “Yangtze River Delta Star” tourist special train, in the form of a “mobile hotel on wheels,” takes you slowly from the coast of the East China Sea to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, traversing the Gobi, desert, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands over 17 days, experiencing the vastness and warmth of Xinjiang in a relaxed pace. This is not just a geographical displacement, but an immersive journey for both body and mind.
🌄 Route Highlights:Special Train + In-Depth, Unlocking Xinjiang’s Diverse Landscapes
The “Yangtze River Delta Star” is not a traditional fast-paced check-in tour, but relies on the comfort of the tourist special train to connect the classic combination of southern Xinjiang’s culture and northern Xinjiang’s nature. The itinerary covers the Lop Nur village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, Karakul Lake and Stone City on the Pamir Plateau, the historical streets of Kashgar Old City, the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway, the grassland scenery of Nalati and Bayinbuluke, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, and the forest secrets of Kanas and Hemu.
In 2026, with the continuous optimization of Xinjiang’s railway and highway infrastructure, the model of special train + short-distance transfer has become more efficient. Sections from Korla to Kashgar and Beitun to Urumqi use same-day transfers to reduce nighttime travel fatigue. At the same time, the special train is equipped with fixed carriages, sleeper berths, dining cars, and medical escorts, suitable for middle-aged, elderly, and family groups.
It should be noted that Xinjiang is vast, and some sections are affected by seasons and weather (e.g., the Duku Highway usually opens in June). The itinerary is designed based on the 2026 spring traffic conditions, and actual execution will be reasonably adjusted according to local traffic management and scenic area policies, with mutual agreement.
