Dahe Zhinan Xinjiang Special Train:An immersive cultural journey across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Xinjiang, a land accounting for one-sixth of China’s territory, is renowned worldwide for its magnificent landscapes interwoven with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes. In 2027, the Dahe Zhinan special train, centered on “in-depth cultural experience,” will connect 17 natural and cultural landmarks across Northern and Southern Xinjiang, creating a “moving scenic route.” The special train features full-car bathroom facilities and offers a variety of room types from 2-person to 4-person rooms, meeting the travel needs of families, friends, and solo travelers. The carriages are equipped with audio-visual systems, card and board game tables, and karaoke equipment, and there is a dedicated dining car where a professional chef team provides Xinjiang specialty meals, making the journey a pleasure.
The landscapes of Northern and Southern Xinjiang differ significantly: Northern Xinjiang is represented by the forests and lakes of Kanas and Hemu, lush and green in summer and ablaze with colorful foliage in autumn; Southern Xinjiang, with Kashgar Old City and the Pamir Plateau as its soul, showcases the history of ethnic integration and the life scenes of people from all ethnic groups. The special train specially arranges a crossing of the Duku Highway, this “China’s most beautiful highway,” which links landscapes such as the Nalati Grassland and the Bayanbulak Wetland along the way, allowing travelers to experience the changes of four seasons in a single day.
