🚂 [Autumn Slow Journey · Panoramic Xinjiang] New National Train Special 14-Day Tour, Traversing the Golden Landscape of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
When September ushers Xinjiang into the most poetic season of the year—with poplar leaves just turning golden, grasslands gradually changing color, and lakes as clear as mirrors—taking the ‘New National Train’ tourist special train to slowly travel through the Tianshan Mountains has become an increasingly desired way of in-depth travel. Unlike self-driving or regular bus tours, this train-centered journey connecting hotels and scenic spots avoids the fatigue of long-distance travel while preserving an immersive experience of the vast Western Regions. It is especially suitable for travelers who prefer a relaxed pace, comprehensive service, and coverage of both southern Xinjiang’s culture and northern Xinjiang’s natural scenery.
🌄 Tour Highlights:One Journey, Experience the Best of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In autumn 2026, the ‘New National Train’ northern and southern Xinjiang special train continues its classic loop design, connecting core destinations such as Urumqi, Turpan, Hotan, Kashgar, Kuqa, Nalati, Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Hemu. This route skillfully blends oasis civilization at the edge of the desert, the magnificent lakes of the Pamir Plateau, the grassland secrets deep in the Tianshan Mountains, and the fairy-tale villages beneath the Altai Mountains.
In southern Xinjiang, you will visit the thousand-year-old ancient city of Yotkan ruins, stroll through the alleys of Kashgar Old City, and experience the weaving craftsmanship of Atlas silk; in northern Xinjiang, you can gallop across the Nalati aerial grassland, boat on Sayram Lake, hike through the primeval forests of Kanas, and stay in the log cabins of Hemu Village, waiting quietly for morning mist and starry skies. Throughout the journey, the advantages of rail transport reduce transfer frequency and enhance comfort, making it especially suitable for middle-aged, elderly, and family travelers.
It is worth mentioning that the ‘New National Train’ operating in 2026 uses a fixed-formation tourist train equipped with 4-person compartments (including upper and lower berths), with complete facilities inside the carriages. Traveling by night and sightseeing by day truly realizes ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people travel within a painting.’

🍂 Autumn Travel Tips
In early September, Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. In northern Xinjiang areas such as Kanas and Hemu, autumn colors are already beginning to show, so it is recommended to bring windproof jackets and warm clothing; southern Xinjiang has a relatively mild climate, but UV rays are strong, so sun protection is necessary. The opening status of each scenic area is subject to real-time announcements from local cultural and tourism authorities. The travel agency will optimize the itinerary based on actual conditions to ensure the best travel experience.
Choosing a relaxed-paced, comprehensive special train journey to slowly appreciate the colorful landscape of the Western Regions in the golden autumn season may be one of the best ways to discover Xinjiang.
