🚂 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and oases spread out in an interlaced manner, forming a richly layered natural picture. Instead of rushing along thousands of kilometers of highways, choose the Tianshan tourism special train, which allows you to ‘travel by night and sightsee by day, with the train following your pace’—immerse yourself in scenic spots during the day and sleep soundly in the sleeper at night, with no need to change trains or berths throughout the journey, and luggage stored in the compartment, eliminating the fatigue of frequent luggage handling and long-distance driving, truly achieving a relaxed and in-depth tour.
🌄 Route Highlights:One journey, a panoramic view of the essence of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
The Tianshan tourism special train adopts a loop design, starting and ending in Urumqi, connecting Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland in Northern Xinjiang, as well as Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, and Taxkorgan County in Southern Xinjiang, covering the most representative natural and cultural landscapes on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains. The itinerary specially includes a drive through the southern section of the Duku Highway, where you can enjoy alpine meadows, canyon rivers, and vertically changing landscapes across four seasons. Additionally, visitors will explore classic landmarks such as Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, the Flaming Mountains, and Karez, efficiently and comfortably experiencing Xinjiang’s diverse geography and cultural features within 13 days.
The train itself is also a scenic attraction. The carriages are decorated with the concept of ‘one carriage, one scene,’ incorporating local artistic elements and equipped with air conditioning, 24-hour hot water, charging ports, and other facilities. The Blue Diamond and Silver Diamond series compartments meet different needs: the Blue Diamond carriage features four-person compartments with upper berths that can be folded up using a damping device; the Silver Diamond carriage offers double compartments, executive rooms, and even suites with bathrooms. Public areas include a dining car and a bar carriage (with karaoke and a lounge area), ensuring the journey is never dull.
