Explore the Dahe Zhi Nan Hao:Embark on a 17-day dream journey through Northern and Southern Xinjiang 🌈
Detailed introduction to the route or destination
In the vast western part of China lies a magical and magnificent land—Xinjiang. Here, you not only experience the unique climate of “wearing a fur coat in the morning and a gauze shirt at noon, eating watermelon by the stove,” but also the magnificent geographical pattern of “three mountains surrounding two basins.” The Dahe Zhi Nan Hao special train is like a dreamlike link穿梭 between Northern and Southern Xinjiang, leading tourists to appreciate the boundless charm of this land.
Northern and Southern Xinjiang are like two brilliant pearls set into the land of Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang is dominated by natural scenery—the picturesque Kanas Lake, with its jade-green waters surrounded by mountains, is like a painting come to life; the Rainbow Beach, with its colorful rock formations, is breathtakingly beautiful under the setting sun. Southern Xinjiang, on the other hand, is rich in cultural atmosphere. Kashgar Old City is like a living thousand-year-old ancient city, with its ochre-yellow buildings arranged in a pleasing disorder, where residents of various ethnic groups live a leisurely life. Strolling through it feels like traveling back in time.
2026 is the perfect time to visit Xinjiang. During this period, the climate is pleasant and the scenery is picturesque. In spring, the grasslands are covered with green grass and blooming wildflowers, making it a great time for outings and flower appreciation; in summer, the weather is cool, making it an ideal summer retreat; in autumn, the forests are dyed in vibrant colors and fruits are fragrant, marking the harvest season; in winter, although cold, the snow-covered scenery has its own unique charm. Whether you are a photography enthusiast who loves natural scenery, a cultural explorer passionate about history and humanities, or a family traveling with children, everyone can find their own joy in Xinjiang.
There are countless must-visit spots. In Turpan, you can visit the ancient Karez irrigation system and appreciate the wisdom of the ancients; at the Flaming Mountains, experience the scorching heat as if stepping into a mythical world; in Grape Valley, taste sweet grapes and enjoy the beautiful vineyard scenery. On the Pamir Plateau, you can climb to Karakul Lake and admire the stunning lake view reflecting Muztagh Ata; at the Stone City, feel the vicissitudes of history; at the Golden Grassland, enjoy the picturesque prairie scenery.
Travel precautions should not be overlooked. Xinjiang is vast, with long distances between attractions, so the itinerary should be planned reasonably to avoid excessive fatigue. At the same time, the climate in Xinjiang is changeable, with large temperature differences between morning and evening, so be sure to bring enough clothing. In terms of diet, Xinjiang cuisine is mainly beef and mutton with relatively strong flavors; if you are not used to it, you can prepare some light food in advance. In addition, respect local folk culture and customs to avoid unnecessary trouble.
