🚂 What is it like to take a train and slowly travel through northern and southern Xinjiang?
In the vast expanse of Xinjiang, scenic spots are often hundreds of kilometers apart. Self-driving is too tiring, buses are too bumpy, and flying misses the scenery along the way. The “Kunlun” tourist special train was created precisely to solve this travel pain point — it is not just a means of transportation, but a mobile vacation space. In 2026, the “Kunlun” continues its model of “traveling by night, sightseeing by day, one berth throughout,” allowing tourists to leisurely traverse the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, deeply visiting the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang over 14 days. Throughout the journey, there is no need to frequently move luggage or switch hotels, making it especially suitable for travelers who prefer a relaxed pace and value travel comfort.
🚄 Train positioning and features
The “Kunlun” is a high-end tourist special train created by Urumqi in 2023. The entire train has 8 sleeper carriages with air-conditioned soft sleeper design, blending modern comfort with Xinjiang cultural elements. The train is positioned as a mid-to-high-end in-depth travel product, focusing on “slow travel, deep experience, light burden,” particularly suitable for retirees, family trips, or tourists with low tolerance for long-distance bus rides. Its core advantage lies in converting a land journey of over 5,000 kilometers into a smooth overnight train ride — sightseeing during the day, sleeping soundly at night, truly achieving “leaving time for the scenery.”

Four-person upper and lower soft sleeper (shared bathroom):4 people/room, with desk, sharing the carriage’s public washing area
