🚂 Kunlun Special Train: Lying Down to Explore Xinjiang:14 Days of Slow Travel Through Southern and Northern Xinjiang, Sleeping the Scenery into Dreams
Want to traverse the vastness and poetry of Xinjiang by train? In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train is taking visitors deep into the Tianshan Mountains with comfort and ease. Unlike the hectic pace of traditional group tours, this special train operates on a ‘train follows people, people play while train stops’ model—disembark during the day to explore key attractions, return to your private carriage at night to rest, no need to move luggage, no rushed itinerary, truly realizing a ‘mobile home with flowing scenery’.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Kunlun’ was created by the Urumqi Group in 2023, positioned as a high-end tourist special train with 8 sleeper carriages, blending modern comfort with regional aesthetics. The carriage soft furnishings incorporate traditional patterns and color elements from various Xinjiang ethnic groups, creating a living space that is both cozy and culturally rich.
The itinerary covers iconic landscapes such as Kashgar Old City,白沙湖 (Baisha Lake), and the Panlong Ancient Road in Southern Xinjiang; Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, and Kanas Three Bays in Northern Xinjiang; as well as Heavenly Lake of Tianshan and Kuqa Grand Canyon. From the magnificent lakes of the Pamir Plateau to the lavender fields of the Ili River Valley; from the historical echoes of the Stone City in Taxkorgan to the wooden houses and morning mist of Hemu Village—14 days connect the most representative natural and cultural features of Xinjiang.
The special train is equipped with full-time tour guide services, providing attraction explanations, itinerary coordination, and life assistance. For dining, special experiences such as fruit banquets, cold-water fish meals, and Tuva-style cuisine are arranged, allowing your taste buds to join this in-depth journey.

🌿 Final Words
The ‘Kunlun’ is not just a train; it is a travel philosophy—slow down and let the scenery naturally flow into your eyes and soul. In late spring and early summer of 2026 in Xinjiang, the apricot blossoms have faded, the grasslands are turning green, and the lakes are clear—an ideal time to start a tour around Xinjiang. Whether you are a retiree, a family traveler, or a group of friends, this 14-day journey will show you a rich, diverse, and vibrant Xinjiang with a steady pace and thoughtful service.
Warm Tips:Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night; it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket and comfortable hiking shoes. Also, respect local customs, travel civilly, and share the beauty of the journey.
