On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, railways not only connect cities but also link snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and oases. In 2026, the ‘New National Train’ tourist special train redefines in-depth travel with the concept of a ‘mobile home’ — no need to frequently change hotels, no need to get up early to rush, visit key attractions during the day, and sleep soundly in a stable carriage at night, truly achieving ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people travel within a painting.’ This journey through northern and southern Xinjiang covers iconic landscapes such as the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kanas, balancing cultural experiences with natural wonders, suitable for families or elderly tourists who want a relaxed trip with a focus on comfort.
📍 Route Highlights and Destination Details
The New National Train special train starts and ends in Urumqi, spanning three major regions: Eastern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and Northern Xinjiang, with an itinerary covering diverse terrains and cultural landscapes:
Turpan:Visit the World Heritage site Karez Well, experiencing the wonder of underground irrigation; gaze at the red rock formations of the Flaming Mountains, learning about the geographical legends behind ‘Journey to the West’; Aydingkol Lake, as the lowest point in China’s land, showcases ecological resilience in the desert.
Hotan:Stroll through the old streets of Tuancheng, experiencing the craftsmanship of Atlas silk weaving; enter Yotkan Ancient City (a replica cultural district), feeling the historical echoes of the southern Silk Road; taste local specialties like baked eggs and rose tea at the night market.
Kashgar:Climb high to overlook白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Karakul Lake, gazing at the snowy peak of Muztagh Ata; delve into Kashgar Old City, seeing the intertwined life scenes of century-old mud walls and handicraft workshops; the Fragrant Concubine Garden tells stories of Qing dynasty historical figures (note: it is a cultural memorial park).
Southern Section of the Duku Highway & Bayanbulak:Traverse the heart of the Tianshan Mountains, with alternating views of canyons, grasslands, and rivers; the sunset light over the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns is a classic scene pursued by photography enthusiasts.
Ili River Valley:Nalati Grassland, known as the ‘Sky Grassland,’ is covered with wildflowers in summer; the lavender garden (peak bloom in mid-to-late June) fills the air with fragrance; Sayram Lake, with its clear blue water like a mirror, is called ‘the last tear of the Atlantic.’
Altay Region:The wooden houses of Hemu Village are scattered among the forests, with morning mist and chimney smoke creating a northern Xinjiang fairy tale; the colorful Yadan landform of五彩滩 (Colorful Beach) shines brilliantly at sunset; Kanas Lake is mysterious and beautiful in all seasons.
