📜 【In-depth Route Introduction】📜
This 16-day Anyi Hao special train across Xinjiang is like a moving encyclopedia of the Western Regions. In the newly updated 2026 itinerary, the pace of the Southern Xinjiang section has been specially optimized, with the stop at Kashgar Old City extended to 4 hours, giving visitors ample time to feel the breath of this thousand-year-old city. The special train adopts a “daytime sightseeing + nighttime travel” model, making full use of the long summer daylight hours. For example, on Day 7, the round-the-lake tour of Sayram Lake is scheduled at noon, when the lake water displays its most dreamy Tiffany blue.
🔥 【Core Attractions Decoded】🔥
▶️ Flaming Mountain:According to the latest monitoring data in 2026, summer surface temperatures can reach 75°C. The scenic area has added a new “sand pit boiled eggs” experience zone (eggs purchased at your own expense). It is recommended to visit in the early morning or evening to avoid the scorching midday sun, and to capture the magical interplay of light and shadow between the mountain and clouds.
▶️ Karez: There are over 1,100 karez systems in the Turpan region. The itinerary includes a visit 60 meters underground to the “Youth Canal,” where professional guides demonstrate the working principles of vertical shafts, underground channels, and open channels. In 2026, an interactive “simulated canal digging” session has been added, perfect for families with children.
▶️ Kanas Lake:The boat tour has been upgraded to electric eco-friendly vessels. In 2026, a new “Lake Monster Observation Deck” has been added, equipped with high-power telescopes (use must comply with scenic area regulations). The best viewing time is 7-8 AM, when the mist over the lake has not yet dissipated and mysterious light effects are more likely to appear.
