🚂 Xinjiang Dahezhinan Special Train:A 17-day panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang combining comfort and depth
As the tourism market continues to heat up in 2026, railway tourism products featuring ‘slow travel + immersive experience’ are highly favored. Among them, the ‘Dahezhinan’ panoramic special train for northern and southern Xinjiang has seen multiple departure dates fully booked 30 days in advance since reservations opened, especially during the peak summer periods of May, July, and August, with limited availability. This trip not only covers the core landscapes of the Tianshan Mountains but also redefines the comfort standards of long-distance train travel with full-train bathrooms, multi-functional carriages, and exclusive dining services.
🌄 Route Highlights:See Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and culture in one trip
Xinjiang is vast, with strikingly different scenery between northern and southern regions. The ‘Dahezhinan’ special train features a carefully designed 17-day itinerary, connecting the scorching Flaming Mountains, the majestic Pamir Plateau, the treacherous Duku Highway, the serene Kanas Lake, and the crystal-clear Tianchi Lake. From the oasis civilization of Turpan to the alleyways of Kashgar’s ancient city, from the winding grassland rivers of Bayanbulak to the azure of Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ the itinerary balances natural wonders and urban landscapes.
Notably, the train traverses the southern and middle sections of the famous Duku Highway (subject to weather and road conditions). This scenic road, hailed as ‘one of China’s most beautiful highways,’ is briefly open from June to September each year, making it a seasonal highlight for many travelers. Additionally, the itinerary includes the border scenery of Horgos Port (exterior view) and the sunset glow of the Rainbow Beach, showcasing Xinjiang’s geographical diversity as a Silk Road hub.
Note:The specific order of scenic spots and stay times may be reasonably adjusted by the tour leader and guide based on daily traffic, weather, and scenic area management requirements, while ensuring the main attractions are covered.
