This high-end tourist train, designed with the essence of ‘Shu Brocade and Song Dynasty Elegance,’ cleverly blends the refined aesthetics of Bashu with the vast landscapes of the Western Regions, creating a ‘mobile Eastern living aesthetics space.’ The entire journey adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ model—deeply explore core scenic spots during the day, and rest comfortably in your cabin at night as the train moves, with no need to repeatedly move luggage, truly achieving ‘lying down to travel Xinjiang.’
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The Jinxiu Tianfu train departs from Chengdu or Lanzhou, traversing North and South Xinjiang over 16 days, covering over 8,000 kilometers in total, connecting diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, deserts, and ancient cities. Unlike the tight pace of traditional group tours, the special train recommends 1-2 core attractions per day, allowing ample immersive experience time. For example, 4 hours are reserved at Kanas Scenic Area for leisurely hiking, lake viewing, and climbing; an exclusive afternoon tea is arranged at Hemu Village to enjoy tranquil moments amidst morning mist and wooden houses; and coffee by Sayram Lake offers a distant view of the azure ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic.’
The train passes through representative destinations in North and South Xinjiang, including Urumqi, Tianchi Lake of Tianshan, Hemu, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway (some departures), Kuqa Grand Canyon, Kashgar Ancient City, and Turpan, covering natural wonders and cultural relics. The carriages feature panda-themed elements, Shu brocade patterns, and Song Dynasty aesthetic details, with observation cars, themed dining cars, intangible cultural heritage craft areas, and wellness spaces, making the journey enjoyable even while staying on the train.
Special Reminder:The October 2 departure cancels the Duku Highway section due to seasonal factors; other departures proceed normally. Specific itineraries may be adjusted due to weather, road conditions, or scenic area policy changes, with reasonable optimizations made upon mutual agreement.
