Train and Route Features:A Moving ‘Cultural Museum’
Since its operation in 2023, the ‘Kunlun No.’ tourism train has become a benchmark for high-end railway tourism in Xinjiang. This train, built by Urumqi, focuses on ‘slow pace, deep experience’ and is designed for middle-aged and elderly tourists as well as those seeking comfortable travel. Departing from Urumqi, it connects key scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, covering a 14-day journey through Turpan, Kashgar, Yili, Altay, and other regions, crossing deserts, grasslands, lakes, and snow-capped mountains, earning it the title of a ‘moving geography classroom.’
Compared to other special trains, the uniqueness of ‘Kunlun No.’ is reflected in three aspects:
Cultural Immersion:The carriage interiors incorporate elements like Xinjiang ethnic embroidery and carpets, with each carriage themed around different regional cultures, such as ‘Kashgar Old City’ and ‘Yili River Valley,’ allowing tourists to experience regional charm without leaving the train.
Relaxed Pace:Daily travel time does not exceed 4 hours, with the rest of the time spent deeply exploring attractions, avoiding fatigue from long rides. For example, in Kuqa Old City, 2 hours of free wandering are arranged instead of a rushed visit.
