🚂 Cruise on the Gobi:Traveling slowly through northern and southern Xinjiang on a double-decker special train
Across the vast landscapes of Xinjiang, a travel style is quietly gaining popularity—not driving across the desert or rushing through tourist spots, but boarding a customized air-conditioned tourist special train called the ‘Gobi Cruise.’ To the rhythm of wheels and rails, you leisurely take in snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities. This 13-day journey cleverly combines the comfort of a train with the flexibility of road travel, achieving ‘the train moves with you, with a bed all the way,’ making long-distance travel less tiring.
🌄 In-depth experience of routes and destinations
The ‘Gobi Cruise’ is not an actual cruise on water but a vivid metaphor for this double-decker sightseeing tourist special train. The train is fully air-conditioned, with hard sleeper and soft sleeper compartments, and large windows designed for sightseeing. During the day, you can gaze at the Tianshan snow peaks and Gobi sunsets, while at night, you sleep soundly in the stable carriages. The entire route connects core areas of northern and southern Xinjiang, including Turpan, Kuqa, Kashgar, Nalati, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, and Tianshan Tianchi, covering desert oases, canyon wonders, plateau lakes, grassland pastures, and ancient cities, offering extremely rich terrain.
Notably, the itinerary cleverly avoids the hassle of frequent transfers and luggage handling. Tourists only need to choose their berth at the start, and the special train handles the subsequent thousands of kilometers of movement. Upon arriving in cities, you transfer to short-distance buses for sightseeing, returning to the special train or checking into local hotels in the evening. The pace is well-balanced, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists and families seeking a relaxed experience.
According to the latest operational arrangements for 2026, since the Duku Highway is not fully open in May, some departures will use alternative routes (e.g., flying from Kuqa to Yining or Nalati) to ensure itinerary completeness. Specific changes are subject to the departure notice, and the travel agency will fully communicate with tourists before departure.
