🚂 2026 Kunlun Tourism Special Train:A worry-free travel plan to explore northern and southern Xinjiang while lying down
Entering the spring and summer tourism peak season of 2026, the grasslands of northern and southern Xinjiang are gradually turning green, and the lakes are entering the high-water period. Many tourists planning to visit Xinjiang are looking for a travel method that doesn’t require rushing through itineraries or frequently moving luggage. The Kunlun Tourism Special Train is a popular choice for many tourists.
✨ Basic Introduction and Route Features of the Special Train
The “Kunlun” Tourism Special Train is a high-end tourism train launched by Urumqi in 2023. In 2026, its operating schedule is unified with Urumqi as the starting and ending point, adopting a “travel by night, stop by day” mode. The train runs at night and stops at stations for sightseeing during the day, which neither takes up daytime playtime nor requires frequent hotel changes and luggage packing. Large luggage can be kept in the train compartment throughout the journey, effectively taking a mobile accommodation space with you and reducing travel fatigue.
The special train is fully equipped with an air conditioning system, and the interior environment is clean. The dining car provides various daily meals and Xinjiang specialty cuisine. It is also staffed with onboard service personnel, so you can seek assistance from staff at any time during the trip. The route covers the core attractions of northern and southern Xinjiang. The 14-day itinerary avoids backtracking, allowing you to visit grasslands, lakes, canyons, ancient cities, plateaus, and other landscapes in one go without needing to plan routes, book transportation, or arrange hotels yourself, lowering the travel threshold.
