🚂 Traveling slowly through Xinjiang on the ‘Kunlun’ train:A 14-day panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang
In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more tourists are yearning for a ‘slow down’ deep experience. In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train, with its ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one berth all the way’ model, becomes an ideal choice for exploring the landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang. This high-end tourist train, launched by Urumqi in 2023, not only connects core attractions like Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Pamir Plateau, and Kashgar Old City, but also reduces travel hassle and increases ease through services like no berth changes throughout the journey, dedicated transfers, and a no-shopping itinerary.
🌄 Route and Destination Deep Experience
The ‘Kunlun’ train has 8 sleeper carriages in total, covering various room types: from four-person shared bathroom compartments to two-person private bathroom luxury rooms, and single-person flat berth private spaces, meeting the comfort and privacy needs of different people. The carriage interiors incorporate Xinjiang folk elements, with soft sleepers equipped with desks, sofas, and washing facilities, and some room types also have wardrobes and viewing windows, creating a warm mobile home.
The itinerary covers the high mountain lakes and forest secrets of northern Xinjiang, as well as the oasis ancient cities and plateau scenery of southern Xinjiang. From the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan, to the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon in Kuqa; from the cultural streets of Kashgar Old City, to the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; then through the Duku Highway across Bayanbulak Grassland, arriving at Sayram Lake and Lavender Manor in the Ili River Valley, and finally back to Urumqi to visit Tianshan Tianchi—a 14-day loop design with no backtracking, balancing natural wonders and cultural landscapes.
Along the way, special experiences are arranged, such as Qiuci dance performances, Tajik home visits, sailing on the lake, and Yunxiao Peak cable car rides, enriching the journey. Meanwhile, the train is equipped with a dining car offering Xinjiang-style meals, and an entertainment carriage with leisure areas to alleviate long-distance travel fatigue.
