🚂 Slowly traverse the Western Regions, dream under the Tianshan Mountains—the An Yi Hao special train embarks on a 16-day immersive journey around Xinjiang.
Tired of ‘check-in style’ travel? In the spring and summer of 2026, why not change your pace: stroll through grasslands and lakes during the day, and fall asleep peacefully on a smoothly running train at night. The An Yi Hao tourism special train is tailor-made for travelers seeking comfort and deep experiences—it’s not just a mode of transport, but a moving home that connects the snow-capped peaks and blue lakes of Northern Xinjiang with the oasis ancient cities of Southern Xinjiang, especially suitable for family trips or groups of middle-aged and elderly friends.
📍 Route Highlights:A panoramic journey across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
This 16-day loop route skillfully blends natural wonders with cultural imprints: from the clear reflections of Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain to the mysterious morning mist of Kanas Lake; from the smoke rising from primitive wooden houses in Hemu Village to the sunset light and shadow at Colorful Beach; then through the azure ‘last tear of the Atlantic Ocean’ at Sayram Lake, onto the endless green carpet of Nalati Grassland. The itinerary also covers the southern section of the Duku Highway (fully opened on June 1, 2026), allowing you to experience the changing seasons in a single day, crossing canyons and mountain passes to feel the majestic beauty of the Tianshan hinterland. Upon arriving in Southern Xinjiang, the bustling streets of Kashgar’s old city, the earthen walls of Gaotai Folk Houses, the pure tranquility of Baisha Lake, and the sweet gifts of Turpan’s Grape Valley together form a vast and gentle Xinjiang panorama.
It’s worth noting that all departures from June 2026 onwards are ‘Duku editions,’ fully covering the essence of this road known as ‘China’s most beautiful highway,’ making the journey more complete and seasonally suitable.
