🌿 Highlights along the Tianshan号 special train route
The Tianshan号 special train is a long-distance tourism product covering core tourist resources in northern and southern Xinjiang. Over the 13-day itinerary, tourists can visit multiple types of landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, Gobi deserts, plateaus, and ancient cities in one go, without frequently changing accommodations or moving luggage, making the travel experience more relaxed.
First, the Tianshan Tianchi scenic area, which introduced several public-friendly policies in 2026. The scenic area implements a ‘one ticket, two-day tour’ policy, where tickets are valid on the day of entry and the following day. Visitors on their birthday can enter for free with valid ID. Full-time undergraduate and below students, as well as seniors aged 60 to 65, can enjoy half-price discounts. Aid-Xinjiang cadres and up to six family members can also enter for free with relevant documents. In early summer, the spruce trees around Tianchi are lush, the snow on Bogda Peak has not completely melted, and the lake reflects the mountain scenery, offering a high level of comfort for sightseeing.
Next, the Kanas and Hemu scenic areas offer free admission in 2026 for aid-Xinjiang cadres, veterans, and other groups. The blue-green waters of Kanas Lake, the log cabins of Hemu Village, and the Taiga forest landscapes along the way are representative highlights of northern Xinjiang scenery. The itinerary includes the Colorful Beach scenic area, where the Yadan landform at dusk shows rich color layers under the setting sun, creating a striking contrast with the nearby Irtysh River.
Sayram Lake, as a core lake attraction in northern Xinjiang, offers free admission in 2026 on holidays such as Nurses’ Day, Children’s Day, Doctors’ Day, Teachers’ Day, and Journalists’ Day for corresponding professionals with valid IDs. Newlyweds registering their marriage at the scenic area can also enjoy long-term free admission. The nearby Guozigou Bridge spans the valley, and the characteristic streets of Liuxing Street are also great for a leisurely stroll.
Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak Grassland become lush with water and grass in summer. In 2026, Nalati scenic area has introduced joint discounts with the Ili Botanical Garden and Nalati National Wetland Park, where holding a ticket to one scenic area allows for reduced ticket prices at the other two. The sunset at Bayanbulak’s Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns is also a favorite scene for many photography enthusiasts.
Entering southern Xinjiang, the Pamir Plateau’s Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland offer unique plateau scenery, and you can also experience local folk home visits. The characteristic streets of Kashgar Old City, the Fragrant Concubine Garden, are full of cultural atmosphere. The red rock landform of Wensu Grand Canyon is unique, while the Flaming Mountains, Grape Manor, and Karez Well in Turpan showcase Xinjiang’s arid region landscape and irrigation culture. In 2026, Turpan’s Grape Valley is free all year, and all ticketed scenic areas implement a ‘one-time purchase, lifetime free’ policy. Visitors with Chongqing household registration can also enjoy free first-entry tickets to 21 paid scenic areas from May 1 to October 31 with valid documents.
