🚂 Slow travel in Xinjiang, one berth all the way:The New National Train special train launches a 14-day panoramic journey through North and South Xinjiang
In this era of fast-paced travel, one way of traveling is quietly making a comeback—measuring the land by train, crossing mountains and rivers with an unhurried attitude. In 2026, the “New National Train” tourist special train, with its unique model of “mobile hotel + in-depth roaming,” has become a new choice for many tourists exploring Xinjiang. Unlike bus tours that require frequent transfers or the hustle of self-driving, this special train integrates transportation, accommodation, and guiding into one, turning the 5,000-kilometer North and South Xinjiang itinerary into a flowing feast of scenery.
🌄 Route and destination introduction:An immersive journey across diverse landscapes at one time
The “New National Train” special train uses Urumqi as its hub, running through the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and connecting the oasis civilization of South Xinjiang with the grasslands and lakes of North Xinjiang. The itinerary covers Turpan’s Flaming Mountains and Karez wells, Hotan’s silk workshops and night market bustle, the historical texture of Kashgar Old City, the reflections of Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, the lavender fields of the Ili River Valley, the deep blue waters of Sayram Lake, and the pristine village scenery of Kanas and Hemu.
Currently (late April 2026), spring is gradually deepening in Xinjiang:The oases of South Xinjiang are full of vitality, the grasslands of North Xinjiang are turning green again, the ice on Sayram Lake is melting, and the lake water is like a mirror; starting in May, it enters the most pleasant climate period of the year, with moderate temperature differences between day and night, suitable for long-distance slow travel. The special train is specially designed to avoid peak crowd periods when visiting core scenic areas, and arranges early morning entry into areas such as Hemu and Nalati, making it easy to capture the tranquil moments when morning mist and light intertwine.
The entire journey relies on the railway network, reducing road bumps, and is especially suitable for travelers who wish to travel easily and value comfort. The train uses customized soft-sleeper carriages, with 4-person compartments offering strong privacy; large luggage can be stored on board, truly achieving “lying down to tour Xinjiang.”
