🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Gobi Cruise’ special train spans Northern, Central, and Southern Xinjiang, covering the core landscape belt on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains over 13 days. From the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan to the Tianshan Grand Canyon in Kuqa; from the historic streets of Kashgar Old City to Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; then through the Nalati Grassland and Sayram Lake in the Ili River Valley, all the way to Kanas and Hemu in the Altay region—the journey connects snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, ancient cities, and cultural landmarks, showcasing Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and cultural integration.
The train operates on a ‘travel by day, rest by night’ model, with daytime visits to attractions and overnight stays on the train, avoiding the bumps of long-distance buses. Carriages are equipped with smart temperature control, 270-degree panoramic windows, anti-slip handrails, senior-friendly bathroom facilities, and feature a chess and card area, themed dining car, and travel photography services, balancing comfort and social interaction. The itinerary includes a specially designed low-oil, low-salt senior-friendly menu and scientifically adjusts the route based on altitude changes, starting low and gradually increasing to help the body adapt.
