I. Route Highlights: A Moving “Five-Star Viewing Platform”
Since its upgrade and renovation in 2026, the Yangtze River Delta Star Special Train, with the core concept of “slow travel, deep experience,” connects 12 prefecture-level administrative regions and more than 30 5A/4A scenic areas in Xinjiang. The special train uses all soft-sleeper carriages, equipped with viewing windows, constant-temperature air conditioning, 24-hour hot water, and charging ports, with exclusive butler service in each carriage.

According to the latest 2027 tourism data, Xinjiang has topped the list of “most popular domestic long-distance summer travel destinations” for three consecutive years. The Yangtze River Delta Star Special Train has specially optimized the southern Xinjiang section of the itinerary, adding exclusive projects such as intangible cultural heritage experiences of all ethnic groups and Pamir Plateau stargazing, and has jointly launched a “multi-stop in one journey” joint ticket policy with local culture and tourism departments.
