In this era of fast-paced travel, there is still a train dedicated to “slowness,” crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and connecting snow-capped mountains, lakes, deserts, grasslands, and ancient cities — it is the Chengdu Train Luxury Sightseeing Train. This is not just a means of transportation, but a mobile light-luxury vacation space, turning the 16-day panoramic journey through northern and southern Xinjiang into an immersive, relaxed, in-depth roaming experience without the need to rush around.
I. Detailed Introduction to the Chengdu Train Special Train
The Chengdu Train is a distinctive tourism travel special train in China focused on long-distance leisure and slow travel, positioned as high-end, private, and comfortable residential-style railway travel. The train adopts the classic model of “running at night, sightseeing during the day.” Tourists focus on visiting core attractions during the day and sleep soundly in exclusive compartments at night while traveling thousands of miles, with no need to frequently change hotels, pack luggage, or transfer between cities throughout the journey, truly realizing “lying down to travel through beautiful Xinjiang.”
This route covers the humanistic culture of Kashgar in southern Xinjiang, the hidden wonders of the Pamir Plateau, the fairy-tale scenery of Kanas in northern Xinjiang, and the grasslands and lakes of the Ili River Valley, spanning north and south of the Tianshan Mountains to form a complete loop. The itinerary pace is relaxed, with clear highlights each day and ample time left for sightseeing, photography, and rest. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly families, couples, and niche travel enthusiasts who pursue quality and value experience.
