【Kunlun Hao: A Moving Scenic View Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang】
🚂 Train Introduction:Redefining the “Slow” Philosophy of Xinjiang Travel
The “Kunlun Hao” tourist special train is a high-end tourist train created by Urumqi in 2023, with the core design concept of “in-depth travel, slow tourism,” specially designed for tourists who desire an immersive experience of Xinjiang’s scenery. Unlike traditional special trains, it is not simply a means of transportation, but a “mobile resort hotel” integrating accommodation, dining, and cultural experiences. The train features an all-sleeper design, covering the core scenic spots of northern and southern Xinjiang. The 14-day itinerary connects popular destinations such as Urumqi, Kashgar, Yining, and Altay, with no need for frequent transfers throughout the journey. Luggage can remain in the carriage at all times, truly achieving a worry-free experience of “resting on the train, playing off the train.”
In 2026, the train continues to adopt the “small group, high quality” operation model, with each group recommended to accommodate 60-80 people, ensuring meticulous service. The train route covers both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, from Gobi deserts to snowy mountains and grasslands, from ancient city ruins to modern cities. Each daily stop is carefully planned to avoid a “galloping through flowers” style of sightseeing, giving tourists ample time to appreciate the unique charm of every scenic spot.
