🚂 Slowly traveling through the mountains and rivers, taking in all of northern and southern Xinjiang in one train — a new immersive train experience perspective for the Dahezhinan in 2026
In the era of fast-paced travel, more and more tourists are rethinking ‘how to truly see the scenery.’ Instead of rushing between hotels and dragging luggage to attractions, why not board a mobile vacation space and make the journey itself part of the trip. In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ tourism train, with the theme ‘Starting from the Central Plains, traversing Xinjiang,’ creates a 17-day panoramic route covering both northern and southern Xinjiang, balancing comfort, cultural richness, and natural depth, becoming a top choice for family trips, middle-aged and elderly groups, and slow travel enthusiasts.
🌍 Train starting point and route features:From the banks of the Yellow River to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
The ‘Dahezhinan’ train, supported by the China Railway system, departs from the heart of the Central Plains — Zhengzhou and Luoyang, passes through Xi’an and Lanzhou, and heads west deep into Xinjiang. The entire route cleverly connects the cultural depth of southern Xinjiang with the natural grandeur of northern Xinjiang, covering core attractions such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, and Tianchi Lake, achieving a visual journey of ‘seeing four seasons in one day and different skies every ten miles.’
Unlike the fatigue of frequent transfers in traditional group tours, this train adopts a ‘train follows people, scenery follows train’ model — deep exploration during the day, smooth travel at night, no need to move luggage throughout the trip, greatly reducing physical burden. It is especially suitable for tourists who are not used to long car rides and prefer a relaxed pace.
