🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, taking in the scenery of the north and south in one train — the 2026 ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train embarks on a new journey
In the fast-paced modern life, more and more travelers crave a ‘slow down’ deep experience: no need to frequently change hotels, no need to drag luggage around, just board a train as comfortable as home to traverse vast mountains and rivers and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and culture. In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ tourist train, with the concept of a ‘mobile resort hotel,’ brings tourists a 17-day immersive journey across the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
🌄 Train starting point and route features
The ‘Dahezhinan’ departs from Zhengzhou, Henan, passing through Luoyang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou, heading west deep into the heart of Xinjiang. This route cleverly connects the cultural depth of southern Xinjiang with the natural grandeur of northern Xinjiang, covering core scenic spots such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Tianshan Tianchi, offering a visual feast of ‘experiencing four seasons in one day and different skies every ten miles.’
Different from regular group tours, the ‘Dahezhinan’ adopts a ‘people stop, train doesn’t stop’ mode — traveling at night and focusing on sightseeing during the day, maximizing play efficiency. At the same time, there is no need to change accommodation throughout the journey, and luggage travels with the train, making it especially suitable for retired seniors, family trips, or travelers who are not used to long car rides.
🛌 Carriage configuration:Private and comfortable, fully functional
The entire train is equipped with en-suite compartments, with noise reduction technology ensuring rest quality at night (carriage noise below 40 decibels), and offers various room types to meet different needs:
2-person room:About 8–9 sqm, suitable for couples or friends traveling together, with strong privacy
