✨ Basic Introduction & Route Features of Tianshan No. Train
This train takes Urumqi as the assembly starting point and uses a loop design to connect the core attractions on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains.

Compared with ordinary group tours, this train features a ‘train follows people, people play while train stops’ travel mode. Tourists don’t need to frequently change transportation, and large luggage can be placed on the train berth without moving it each time accommodation changes, saving a lot of travel hassle.
The 13-day itinerary covers both the natural scenery of Northern Xinjiang, such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, as well as the cultural and landscape attractions of Southern Xinjiang, such as the Pamir Plateau, Kashgar Old City, Wensu Grand Canyon, and Flaming Mountains. There’s no need to arrange separate Northern and Southern Xinjiang itineraries; one trip allows you to experience Xinjiang’s diverse scenery and customs. In 2026, the train carriages have been upgraded with improved hardware facilities and optimized services, offering a better travel experience.

🔥 Reasons for This Train’s Popularity
First, the route design is reasonable: 13 days cover the core attractions of both Northern and Southern Xinjiang, eliminating the need for separate itineraries.

Second, it solves the pain point of long-distance travel in Xinjiang: no repeated luggage moving, no long car rides, enhancing the travel experience. Third, comprehensive service support: meals, accommodation, and medical care are well-covered, making travel more reassuring. With the 2026 carriage upgrades, the hardware conditions of the compartments have improved, offering a more comfortable stay, which is why it’s favored by many tourists.
💡 Travel Tips
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Regardless of the season, bring a light jacket. Mountain attractions like Kanas, Bayinbuluke, and the Pamir Plateau are cooler, so bring a thick jacket as backup.
Xinjiang has long sunshine hours and strong UV rays. Prepare sun protection items like high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hats, and arm sleeves to avoid sunburn.
Carry valid ID at all times. Identity verification is needed for entry, train boarding, and accommodation. For border areas like Taxian County, a travel permit is required in advance. Consult the travel agency customer service for application requirements.
The itinerary may be reasonably modified due to weather, road conditions, policies, or scenic spot opening status, with mutual agreement.
All itinerary-related agreements are based on the signed tourism contract, with rights and responsibilities executed according to contract law, tourism law, and other relevant laws.
