The “Silk Road Dream Express” is not an ordinary tourist train, but an air-conditioned sleeper special train designed for in-depth slow travel. The carriages have been custom-modified, equipped with fixed beds, storage space, and bathroom facilities, with no need to carry luggage throughout the journey and a relaxed pace. Multiple routes launched in 2026 cover Kanas in northern Xinjiang, Ili grasslands, Sayram Lake, Kashgar in southern Xinjiang, the Pamir Plateau, as well as cultural and natural attractions such as Turpan and the Lop Nor Village, truly achieving “one route connecting multiple scenic spots.”
According to scenic area opening information released by the Xinjiang cultural and tourism authorities in summer 2026, all the above attractions are open to visitors normally. Some areas (such as the Duku Highway) are under seasonal traffic management — currently in the best travel period of the year, with good road conditions and all viewpoints and service areas along the way fully open.

It is recommended to clearly confirm the details of your selected room category when registering.
Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night. For September travel, it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket and comfortable hiking shoes.
