Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Xinjiang, a land accounting for one-sixth of China’s land area, is a picture scroll where nature and culture intertwine. In 2027, the Meet the Beautiful high-end special train, with “panoramic in-depth travel” as its design concept, will link the 17-day itinerary from Wuchang to Xinjiang into a mobile visual feast. The special train uses all soft-sleeper carriages, equipped with viewing windows, constant-temperature air conditioning and 24-hour hot water. It is recommended to set up 10-12 guest rooms per carriage, striving for privacy and comfort. The itinerary covers three major geographical units: the Tianshan Mountains, the Taklamakan Desert and Kanas Lake, linking more than 20 5A/4A scenic spots including the Gansu Museum, Luobu People’s Village and Karakul Lake, and specially arranges cultural interaction activities such as visits to the homes of people of all ethnic groups and intangible cultural heritage experiences of people of all ethnic groups.
Currently, Xinjiang’s tourism infrastructure continues to upgrade. According to data from the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism in December 2026, the total length of expressways open to traffic in Xinjiang exceeded 8,000 kilometers, and key scenic spots achieved full 5G signal coverage. The Meet the Beautiful special train cooperates with Urumqi Railway and uses the newer DF11G diesel locomotive for traction, striving to run smoothly on complex sections such as the Duku Highway. The special train’s chef team is led by the former head chef of the Urumqi Hilton Hotel, offering both Chinese meals and local flavor meals, with dishes not repeated every day.
