Want to easily explore the highlights of Northern and Southern Xinjiang with your parents or spouse? No need to frequently change hotels or drag luggage around—the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train might be the travel mode you’re looking for. Launched by Urumqi in 2023, this high-end tourist train operates on a ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one berth all the way’ model. You visit scenic spots during the day and sleep in a moving soft sleeper carriage at night, with a relaxed pace, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly travelers who want an in-depth experience while prioritizing comfort.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Kunlun’ special train connects Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes, covering diverse terrains across the Tianshan Mountains: from the Flaming Mountains and Karez Well in Turpan, to the ancient city of Kashgar in Southern Xinjiang, and the白沙湖 and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; from the magnificent canyons along the southern section of the Duku Highway, to the Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas Lake, and Hemu Village in Northern Xinjiang. The entire journey covers various scenery types such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, and ancient cities, achieving a circular route design that ‘connects north and south in one line’ and avoids backtracking.
The train features fully air-conditioned soft sleeper carriages, equipped with restrooms (in some room types), desks, wardrobes, sofas, and charging ports. The soft furnishings incorporate Xinjiang ethnic elements to create a warm atmosphere. Constant temperature control, silent track technology, and high-altitude oxygen supply devices further enhance travel comfort. Each carriage has a dedicated attendant providing 24-hour service to ensure a worry-free journey.
