🌄 2026 Yangtze River Delta Star Special Train:A New Slow Travel Experience Across East and West
In this fast-paced era, more and more people are yearning for a ‘slow down’ travel style. In 2026, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist special train, with its ‘travel by day, ride by night, train follows people’ model, connects the vast landscapes from the coast of the East China Sea to the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. This journey is not just a geographical crossing, but an immersive dialogue between culture and nature—no need for frequent transfers, luggage stays on the train, and a relaxed, unhurried pace, making it especially suitable for travelers who seek deep experiences while valuing comfort.
📍 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Crossing from Jiangnan Water Towns to Western Region Scenery
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ is not limited to the Yangtze River Delta region; instead, it starts here and heads westward, deep into the heart of Xinjiang. This itinerary covers the essence of both Southern and Northern Xinjiang, including the desert oasis of Korla, the historic districts of Kashgar, the lake clusters of the Pamir Plateau, the grassland wetlands of the Ili River Valley, and the mysterious Kanas at the foot of the Altai Mountains. The landscapes along the way are diverse, featuring both the vastness of the Taklamakan Desert and the clarity of Sayram Lake; both the magnificent twists of the Duku Highway and the tranquil morning mist of Hemu Village.
The train itself has been comfortably renovated, equipped with en-suite cabins, multi-functional lounge cars, and a professional service team. The entire trip includes high-quality local accommodation and specialty meals, with on-board staff providing basic health assistance to ensure a worry-free journey.
