🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The Anyi Hao crosses Gansu and goes deep into Xinjiang, connecting the snowy mountains and lakes of Northern Xinjiang with the oasis ancient cities of Southern Xinjiang. It covers 24 signature scenic spots including Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) of Tianshan, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, the southern section of Duku Highway, Kashgar Old City, and Turpan’s Grape Valley — a rich blend of nature and culture with diverse scenery.
Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) of Tianshan (peak season 2026 ticket: 95 RMB/person):The best viewing period begins in April. The lake is crystal clear, with the snow-capped Bogda Peak reflected like a painting. One ticket allows entry on two consecutive days.
Kanas Lake and Hemu Village:Fully open from May. Fewer tourists in spring; the lake appears emerald blue, and Hemu is wrapped in morning mist with smoke rising from wooden houses — like a fairy tale.
Sayram Lake:In 2026, lakeside tours require entry through the scenic area’s reservation channel. The lake surface shines like a sapphire, with landmarks such as the Songshutou S-curve and Kele Yongzhu along the way, perfect for photo stops.
Nalati Grassland:The sky-high grassland offers wide views with wildflowers in bloom. Open 8:30–20:00, ticket 95 RMB/person, with re-entry allowed within 48 hours.
Southern Section of Duku Highway:Expected to fully open by the end of May, with daily access from 9:00–20:00. Along the route, red-layer canyons, snowy mountains, and grassland landforms create stunning visual contrasts.
Kashgar Old City and Gaotai (High Platform) Folk Houses:Open year-round, preserving traditional street layouts with handicraft workshops and specialty foods — a living cultural district.
🚂 Slow down, and you will see the vastness and gentleness of XinjiangThree Scenic Spots in Turpan:Grape Valley offers cool summer escapes, Flaming Mountain showcases spectacular landforms, and Karez Wells demonstrate ancient irrigation wisdom — all amid fragrant melons and fruits.
The entire journey follows a ‘day tour, night travel’ model — deep exploration during the day, peaceful sleep on a stable train at night, eliminating the hassle of frequent transfers and repacking.

🚨 Warm Reminders
Xinjiang is vast, and some road sections involve long travel times — but that is precisely the charm of in-depth travel.
High-altitude areas (such as Tashkurgan County and White Sand Lake) are at significant elevation; it is recommended to prepare altitude sickness remedies in advance.
Weather at Sayram Lake, Duku Highway, and other areas can change quickly; it is recommended to bring windproof and waterproof outerwear.
For cultural experience activities along the route, simply respect local customs — no special preparation is needed.
The Anyi Hao is more than just a train — it is a slow journey where body and mind can rest. Scenery flows past the window, while life inside the carriage continues as usual — this is the right way to experience Xinjiang.
