🛤 ️ About the New National Train
The New National Train is a specially designed tourist train with customized national train carriages, featuring 4-person compartments with fixed berths throughout the journey—no need to change berths. You can store large luggage in the compartment or area, eliminating the need to move luggage up and down daily, which is very convenient for travelers with more luggage or those who dislike frequent packing.
The train roughly runs along the route: Urumqi—Turpan—Hotan—Kashgar—Kuqa—Yili—Beitun—Kanas—Urumqi, covering about 5,000 kilometers. You explore destinations during the day and rest on the train at night, effectively reducing long-distance bus travel.
