🚂 If you are looking for a way to travel Xinjiang that involves “less hassle and more sightseeing,” then the “Tianshan No.” panoramic train covering both northern and southern Xinjiang might be worth your serious consideration.
It was created by China Railway Urumqi Group Co., Ltd., specifically designed for in-depth tours of Xinjiang. The core model is “the train follows the traveler, traveling by night and sightseeing by day,” allowing you to rest in a moving “star-rated hotel” while leaving your daytime hours for the scenery.
🗺 ️ From the north to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, see it all on one train
A 13-day journey connecting snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities, offering a panoramic view of Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and cultural charm.
Northern Xinjiang scenery:Departing from Urumqi, visit Tianchi (Heavenly Lake), the “Pearl of the Tianshan Mountains,” and go deeper into Kanas Lake and Hemu to experience the tranquility of “nature’s private reserve.” Then pass through the Colorful Beach (Wucaitan) to enjoy the brilliant sunset along the banks of the Irtysh River.
Yili River Valley:Feel the clarity of “the last tear of the Atlantic” by Sayram Lake, cross the Guozigou Bridge, and arrive in Yining. Then head to Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak to experience the vastness of the “grassland in the sky” and the magnificence of the “Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns.”
Southern Xinjiang charm:The train will take you into southern Xinjiang, passing through the southern section of the Duku Highway to reach Kashgar. On the Pamir Plateau, gaze at Muztagh Ata from afar and visit Karakul Lake, the Stone City, and the Golden Grassland. Go deeper into Tashkurgan County to experience a Tajik home visit and feel the warmth of the highland “eagle tribe.”
Eastern Xinjiang wonders:In the later part of the journey, visit the Tianshan Wensu Grand Canyon and Ta Village to experience the tranquility of the canyon and the village. Finally, in Turpan, encounter the Flaming Mountains, grape estates, and Karez irrigation system, bringing the journey to a perfect conclusion.
🛏 ️ A moving “star-rated hotel”
The “Tianshan No.” train itself is a highlight, combining hotel, restaurant, and leisure spaces into one, allowing you to enjoy home-like comfort during your travels.
Comfortable sleep:The entire train features soft sleeper compartments with wide panoramic windows. The Blue Diamond series compartments can be flexibly converted into private double rooms. Traveling by night lets you arrive at the next destination in your sleep.
