🌄 Traveling through Xinjiang by train, only by slowing down can you see the vastness
For many middle-aged and elderly friends, the meaning of travel is not about ‘checking off how many attractions,’ but about a relaxed pace, deep experience, and physical and mental relaxation. In 2026, the ‘New National Train’ South and North Xinjiang special train is precisely such a journey designed for travelers who value comfort and depth—the entire trip uses a customized tourist train as the carrier, visiting key scenic spots during the day and sleeping soundly in stable carriages at night, with no need to move large luggage, truly achieving ‘lying down to travel Xinjiang.’ This 14-day itinerary (note: the ’16-day tour’ in the theme is a typo; the actual product is 14 days) connects the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, covering diverse landscapes and cultural attractions such as deserts, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities, avoiding high-intensity hiking while retaining Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural imprints.
📍 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘New National Train’ special train spans approximately 5,000 kilometers across Xinjiang from east to west, from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan in eastern Xinjiang to the silk workshops in Hotan in southern Xinjiang; from the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau to Sayram Lake in northern Xinjiang and the ‘back garden’ Hemu Village, and then to the clear waters and snowy mountains of Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain, traversing multiple geographical units along the way. The itinerary specially arranges multiple railway experiences, including the world’s first railway around the Taklamakan Desert—the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway—allowing tourists to feel the magnificent interweaving of desert solitude and oases from the train window.
Additionally, the route balances cultural experiences: such as visiting the Atlas silk workshop, night-touring the Yotkan Ancient City, watching the opening ceremony of Kashgar Ancient City, and exploring the Restan Street, all mainly involving easy walking, suitable for the pace of middle-aged and elderly groups. In terms of accommodation, depending on the selected version, comfortable hotels or combinations including five-star, four-diamond, and characteristic wooden houses are arranged to ensure rest quality.
