🚂 Silver-haired Senior Special Train ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’:A slow-paced Silk Road journey tailored for the elderly
As the tourism market continues to recover in 2026, more and more middle-aged and elderly friends are choosing ‘tourist special trains’ for long-distance trips. Unlike the tight pace of traditional group tours, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train features a relaxed model of ‘travel by day, rest by night, train follows the traveler.’ Throughout the journey, large luggage does not need to be moved, you rest comfortably on the train at night, and focus on sightseeing during the day, truly achieving a relaxed experience of ‘lying down to see the mountains and rivers.’ It is especially suitable for the silver-haired group who want to deeply and slowly explore Xinjiang while valuing travel comfort.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights

The journey includes a dual experience of natural wonders and cultural landscapes:
Southern Xinjiang Section:Visit the Lop Nur Village to experience oasis life along the Tarim River; traverse the edge of the Taklamakan Desert to appreciate the vastness of the ‘Sea of Death’; stroll through the streets of Kashgar’s Old City, visit the Id Kah Mosque and the High Terrace Folk Houses, and touch the veins of the thousand-year-old ancient city of the Western Regions.
Pamir Plateau:Ascend to Karakul Lake, gaze at the snow-capped peak of Muztagh Ata reflected in the lake; visit the Golden Grassland in Taxkorgan to experience the tranquil beauty of the plateau wetland.
Northern Xinjiang Scenery: Speed along the Duku Highway to see the landscapes of four seasons in one day; roam the Nalati Grassland and the Bayanbulak Grassland to watch the sunset over the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns; circle Sayram Lake, whose azure waters are known as the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic,’ intoxicating the heart; delve into Hemu and Kanas, immersed in a fairy-tale world of primeval forests, birch groves, and Tuva villages.
