🚂 【Detailed Introduction of the Route or Destination:The ‘Mobile Observation Deck’ of North and South Xinjiang】
In 2026, Xinjiang railway tourism ushers in a new upgrade! The ‘New National Train’ special train, with ‘soft sleeper all the way’ as its core, connects 14 prefectures and cities in North and South Xinjiang, covering key destinations such as Turpan, Kashgar, Hotan, Ili, and Altay. The itinerary spans four major landforms: deserts, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes. Unlike traditional trains, the new soft sleeper carriages feature a ‘panoramic glass + adjustable reading light + charging port’ design. Each carriage is recommended to have 10 four-person compartments, increasing space privacy by 50%. During night travel, passengers can lie in bed and watch the Gobi Desert under the starry sky through the window, and wake up in the morning mist near Kanas, making it a true ‘mobile viewing hotel’.
