🚂 Slow Travel in Xinjiang, Starting from a Train — The Rhythmic Pace of the Kunlun Special Train
In a fast-paced era, travel can also be a calm return. In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train continues to start from Urumqi, connecting the classic landscapes and cultural imprints of northern and southern Xinjiang over 14 days. This train does not pursue a ‘check-in speed’ but instead adopts a slow railway journey, allowing passengers to experience the changing seasons of the Tianshan Mountains and the serene vastness of grasslands and lakes while on the move. As a high-end tourist train product launched by the Urumqi Group in 2023, the Kunlun provides a comfortable vehicle for in-depth travel with all-sleeper carriages, ample space, and full air conditioning.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The route of the Kunlun covers the Turpan Basin, the oases of southern Xinjiang, the eastern edge of the Pamir Plateau, the Ili River Valley, and the Altai Mountains, forming a panoramic route that spans the extreme geographical diversity of Xinjiang. Along the way, you can see the red rock layers of the Flaming Mountains and the ancient wisdom of the Karez irrigation system, and also delve into the old city of Kuqa to touch the cultural relics of the Qiuci Kingdom. From the clarity of Baisha Lake to the azure of Sayram Lake, from the sunset at the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak to the wooden houses in the morning mist of Hemu, each stop carries a narrative interwoven with nature and humanity.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the itinerary includes experiential activities such as a lavender garden (in bloom from June to July), Liuxing Street (a characteristic district in Yining), and a visit to a Tuva family, making the journey not just about ‘seeing’ but also about ‘feeling’. The special train itself, as a mobile accommodation space, reduces the hassle of frequently changing hotels, making it especially suitable for travelers who want a relaxed trip and value rest quality.
