🚂 Slow travel, deep experience:Kunlun Special Train launches a 14-day panoramic tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In the fast-paced modern life, a slow railway journey that takes the train as home and stops as it goes is becoming an increasingly popular way to travel. In the spring, summer, and autumn of 2026, the Kunlun Special Train will continue to operate across the vast land of Xinjiang, connecting the classic landscapes and cultural features of the Tianshan Mountains. This high-end tourist train, developed by Urumqi, is not an ordinary green train but a mobile resort space that combines comfortable accommodation, specialty dining, and local guided tours.
🌄 In-depth introduction to routes and destinations
The Kunlun Special Train runs through Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes: from Turpan at the foot of the Flaming Mountains to Kashgar, the key city in Southern Xinjiang; from the Baisha Lake and Taxkorgan on the Pamir Plateau to Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and the mysterious Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, finally returning to the foot of Heavenly Lake Tianshan. The entire journey covers diverse terrains and cultural scenes such as deserts, oases, snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities, showcasing Xinjiang’s diverse and harmonious regional picture.
The climate along the train route is pleasant, with May to September being the golden period for Xinjiang tourism—lavender begins to bloom in May, and apricot blossoms have fallen; from June to August, the grasslands are lush and the lakes are azure; in early September, the forests are gradually dyed with autumn colors, and Hemu and Kanas welcome the most poetic time of the year. The special train uses air-conditioned carriages to adapt to the temperature difference between day and night, ensuring a comfortable journey.
The interior design of the carriages combines modern functionality with regional aesthetics: soft sleeper compartments are equipped with desks, wardrobes, or shared bathroom facilities, and some room types also feature single sofas and panoramic windows. The entire train has 8 sleeper carriages, configured according to different room types, balancing privacy and social interaction, suitable for families, couples, or friends traveling together.
