I. Train and Route: Redefining the way to ‘Slow Travel Xinjiang’
【Train Background】
The Kunlun Hao tourism train is a high-end themed train launched in Urumqi in 2023, designed for people aged 50 and above, with ‘in-depth travel, slow pace, zero burden’ as its core. In 2026, the train will be fully upgraded to ‘all-soft-decorated Xinjiang folk-themed carriages’, with each carriage equipped with an oxygen supply system to address discomfort during high-altitude travel. The train departs from Urumqi, connecting 12 5A-level scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, adopting a ‘travel by day, ride by night’ mode throughout the journey—spending the day exploring scenic spots in depth and traveling by train at night, eliminating the discomfort of long-distance bus rides.
【Route Features】
Unlike ordinary tourism trains, the Kunlun Hao adopts a ‘one-price-inclusive of designated items in the itinerary’ model, covering transportation, accommodation, tickets, meals, and local transportation costs. The route design avoids traditional ‘whirlwind tour’ itineraries. For example, it arranges a 2-day, 1-night stay at the Kanas Scenic Area, allowing tourists to freely choose to hike the Three Bays or explore on horseback; in the Ili River Valley, a ‘Lavender Manor Photography Class’ is specially added, guided by professional photographers. In 2026, a ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Day’ is added, where tourists can personally make ethnic group embroidery or ethnic group pottery.
