🚞 Since the beginning of spring in 2026, the Xinjiang cultural tourism market has been heating up, and many tourists planning to visit Xinjiang are struggling with travel options:Traditional group tours are tiring, self-driving routes are unfamiliar and risky, and independent travel planning is too cumbersome. The Tianshan Tourism Train, focusing on ‘light-burden in-depth travel,’ has become a top choice for many tourists. As one of the key quality tourism trains operated by Xinjiang Railway in 2026, the Tianshan Train starts and gathers at Urumqi, connecting over a dozen core attractions on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, offering tourists a comfortable Xinjiang travel experience over a 13-day itinerary.
✨ Train and Route Features Introduction
Urumqi, as the capital of Xinjiang, is the first stop for many tourists entering Xinjiang. It has a well-developed transportation network, making gathering and return very convenient. There are also many attractions in the city for early-arriving tourists to explore and enjoy at their own pace. The Tianshan Train operates on a schedule of departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, stopping at stations during the day for tourists to visit attractions and traveling at night to the next destination. This arrangement neither wastes sightseeing time nor requires tourists to frequently pack luggage and change hotels. The train’s hardware has been upgraded with good soundproofing in the carriages, comfortable bedding, and leisure and entertainment areas for tourists to relax during the journey. The train is fully equipped with accompanying staff and medical personnel for better travel security.
Route-wise, the Tianshan Train covers popular spots in northern Xinjiang like Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, and in southern Xinjiang like the Pamir Plateau, Kashgar Old City, and Wensu Grand Canyon, as well as the southern section of the Duku Highway. A single trip allows tourists to visit different types of core landscapes in Xinjiang without multiple trips back and forth, saving on transportation costs.
