In 2026, this train is upgraded once again, linking premium destinations such as Urumqi, Beitun, Hemu, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Kuqa, Kashgar, and Turpan, leading tourists across the four seasons to experience Xinjiang’s diverse charm.
Detailed route or destination introduction:An in-depth journey across the Tianshan Mountains
The “Tianfu” train takes “slow travel, deep experience” as its core concept, with an itinerary covering the natural wonders of northern Xinjiang and the cultural customs of southern Xinjiang. Departing from Urumqi, it passes through northern Xinjiang hidden gems such as Beitun, Hemu, and Kanas along the way, then heads south across the Duku Highway to reach major southern Xinjiang towns such as Kashgar and Turpan. During the 16-day itinerary, visitors can summit Tianshan Tianchi, stroll through Hemu Village, boat on Kanas Lake, feel the thousand-year Silk Road culture in Kashgar Old Town, and listen to the echoes of history at the Jiaohe Ancient City in Turpan.
The train specially features a “mobile sightseeing car”, equipped with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and leisure sofas, allowing visitors to enjoy the flowing scenery outside the window at any time during the journey. In addition, the itinerary intersperses social activities such as cocktail parties, welcome banquets, and afternoon tea, as well as local experiences such as aerial photography at the Haden viewing platform and home visits to various ethnic groups, so that travel is no longer just “a quick glance at the flowers”, but truly integrates into local life.
