Splendid Orient 2027 Xinjiang Train Departing from Chengdu:A mobile feast crossing North and South Xinjiang
Detailed introduction to the route or destination
As the train slowly pulls out of Chengdu Station, a magnificent journey spanning 3,000 kilometers begins. The Splendid Orient Train is designed with the concept of a “mobile five-star hotel,” with panoramic viewing cars throughout, equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and intelligent control systems, and each car is served by a professional butler team. This 16-day in-depth tour of North and South Xinjiang will connect core destinations in Xinjiang such as Urumqi, Altay, Ili, Kuqa, and Kashgar, covering diverse landscapes including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities, allowing travelers to fully enjoy the scenery of the Western Regions in a mobile “home.”
The train’s unique feature lies in its “combination of motion and stillness” itinerary design: deep sightseeing at destinations during the day and traveling by train to the next stop at night, which saves transfer time and avoids the fatigue of long-distance driving. The train also features interactive spaces such as a cultural salon area, a starlight cinema, and an intangible cultural heritage workshop. Travelers can participate in activities such as experiencing the handicrafts of various ethnic groups and making Western Region cuisine, truly realizing that “the journey itself is also scenery.”
