🚂 【New National Train·Southern and Northern Xinjiang Special Train】—— Slow Travel on the Silk Road, One Train to See All of Tianshan’s North and South
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains and deserts face each other, grasslands and lakes coexist, and ancient cities blend with modernity. In 2026, a tourist special train named ‘New National Train’ is traveling at a leisurely pace between northern and southern Xinjiang, turning a 14-day journey into an immersive border region tour. It is not an ordinary train but a mobile travel station—exploring attractions by day and resting in the carriage by night, with no need to move luggage, and a well-paced itinerary, especially suitable for tourists who want a relaxed and in-depth experience.
This special train departs from Urumqi, heads south along the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, then returns to northern Xinjiang to explore the mysterious Kanas, and finally returns to the starting point. Along the way, it covers classic destinations such as the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, Hotan Night Market, Kashgar Old City,白沙湖 (Baisha Lake), Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Hemu Village, and五彩滩 (Rainbow Beach), combining natural wonders with cultural landscapes. More notably, the route design cleverly avoids frequent transfers and rushing, adopting a ‘travel by day, rest by night’ model, truly bringing comfort and ease back to the journey.
